LDAP naming rules¶
When naming your LDAP objectClass and/or attributes, please follow these rules:
- Two first letter of your attribute or objectClass shoud be fd
- After that each letter that start a new word should be in uppercase
- Choose a meaningful name, that says what the attribute does
- If possible choose a first word that is common for all attributes of your objectClass
- Fill the attribute description in your LDAP schema
Also, remember to use the LDAP number rules
For plugins configuration objectClass, the following scheme shoud be used: fdNamePluginConf (for instance fdSystemsPluginConf)
Examples:
fdCyrusConnect
The description field should always start with “FusionDirectory - “
Example:
attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.38414.2.10.2 NAME ‘fdArgonautProtocol’
DESC ‘FusionDirectory - Argonaut, protocol.’
