Hello Ldapers, 

 I am using slapd of openLdap on linx. 

I was successful in defining a new object class/ attributes etc by
editing 
slapd.oc.conf and slapd.ac.conf. 

I am not able to  able to have my attribute in the DN of my object.. 

i.e I defined a  new object class as ( in in slapd.oc.conf) 

objectclass myObject 
        requires 
                objectClass, 
                myattribute 
        allows 
                description 
  
  

and also defined myattribute as( in sladp.at.conf) 

attribute       myattribute                             ces 
  
  

When I add a directory entry ( of objectclass "myObject") 
with Distinguished name as 

dn="myattribute=abc, <then the other required attributes...>" 

I get an error. 

( if I add the instance of myObject  without "myattibute" in the DN by
using standard
stuff like 
cn, o   etc it gets added...) 
  

Any help would be deeply appreciated.... 
  

regards shailesh 

p.s It is also quite suprisng that the RDN of an object need not be one
of the 
attributes of the object ( i.e It need not be defined explicitly in the
Object class 
definition..) Is my understanding right??. OR is it that the attributes
in  the RDN 
automaicaly become one of the attributes of the object being
identified....eventhough 
not present in the Objectclass definition...
