Mandatory Attributes
Mandatory attributes are listed in the MUST section of the object class description. For the person
object class, the mandatory attributes are cn and sn.
Optional Attributes
Optional attributes are listed in the MAY section of the object class description. The optional
attributes in the person object class are description, seeAlso, telephoneNumber, fullName,
givenName, initials, uid, and userPassword.
NOTE: The userPassword attribute cannot be used as an optional (MAY) attribute. The operation
will fail if you try to use it as a mandatory (MUST) attribute in the new objectClass using this LDIF
format to extend the schema.
Containment Rules
The object classes that can contain the object class being defined are given in the X-
NDS_CONTAINMENT section of the object class description. The person object class can be
contained by the organization, organizationalUnit, and domain object classes.
