202-450 Exam - Question 111


FILL BLANK -

Which attitude of an object in LDAP defines which other attributes can be set for the object? (Specify ONLY the attribute name without any values.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer:

The attribute in LDAP that defines which other attributes can be set for the object is 'objectClass'. The 'objectClass' attribute specifies the set of attributes (both mandatory and optional) that are applicable to an LDAP entry. It determines the schema rules that apply to the entry and thus indirectly defines which other attributes can be configured for the object.

I think it's 'objectClass' https://ldapwiki.com/wiki/ObjectClass#:~:text=ObjectClass%20attribute%20specifies%20the%20object,permitted%20attributes%20of%20an%20entry.&text=Every%20LDAP%20Entry%20must%20have,zero%20or%20more%20AUXILIARY%20classes.

they ask for an attribute so rather think its "may" - "class" is not an attribute - is it?.

May For example: objectClasses: ( 2.5.6.0 NAME ’top’ ABSTRACT MUST objectclass ) objectClasses: ( 2.5.6.6 NAME ’person’ SUP top STRUCTURAL MUST ( cn $ sn ) MAY ( userpassword $ telephonenumber $ seealso $ description ) ) objectClasses: ( 5.6.7.8 NAME ’company’ SUP top MUST ( department $ telephoneNumber ) MAY ( postalAddress $ street ) ) objectClasses: ( 1.2.3.4 NAME ’companyPerson’ SUP ( company $ person ) ) Ref.: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.1.0?topic=introduction-ldap-schema-attributes

objectClass. The "objectClass" attribute in LDAP defines the class of an object, which in turn determines what attributes can be used and defined for that object. While the term "MAY" is used in object class definitions to indicate that certain attributes are optional, it is the "objectClass" attribute that establishes the basis for the attributes that can or must be used on an object. Therefore, "objectClass" is the attribute that defines what other attributes can be configured for an object in LDAP.
