LDAP Schema Model

  • 项目

The LDAP schema model defines the data types and information elements that you can store in a directory. The basic unit of information in a directory is an entry, which contains information about a specific object, such as a person or computer. Entries are composed of attributes, which consist of a type and one or more values. Each attribute adheres to a syntax that determines the type of values that each attribute can contain. Examples of attribute types are Unicode string, binary, and integer. LDAP allows you to encode most protocol data elements as ordinary strings. You can also internationalize attribute values and distinguished names by using the ISO 10646 (UTF 8) character set.

For more information about LDAP Schemas, refer to RFC 2252.
