4.2 The naturalPerson auxiliary object class
The naturalPerson object class is a general-purpose auxiliary object
class that is intended to hold attributes about human beings. It has
been designed for use within directory services based on the LDAP
protocol [22] and the X.500 family of protocols, where support for
these attributes is considered useful.
