Chapter 4 Operational Attributes, Special Attributes, and Special Object Classes
This chapter describes operational attributes used by Netscape Directory Server (Directory Server). Operational attributes are available for use on every entry in the directory, regardless of whether they are defined for the object class of the entry. Operational attributes are only returned in an
ldapsearchoperation if specifically requested. This chapter also describes some special attributes and object classes, that are used by the server. (When an object class inherits attributes from other object classes, the inherited attributes are shown in italics.)This chapter contains the following sections:
This refers to the amount of time that must pass after an account lockout before the user can bind to the directory again.
This attribute is defined in Directory Server.
Used by the directory server to evaluate what rights are granted or denied when it receives an LDAP request from a client.
This attribute is defined in Directory Server.
The values of this attribute are URLs of other servers which may be contacted when this server becomes unavailable. If the server does not know of any other servers which could be used, this attribute is absent. You may cache this information in case your preferred LDAP server later becomes unavailable.
This attribute is defined in RFC 2252.
Multi-valued attribute that specifies the attribute types used within a subschema. Each value describes a single attribute.
This attribute is defined in RFC 2252.
DirectoryString, multi-valued.
Used by read-only replica to recognize master data source. Contains a reference to the server that holds the master data. Note that this attribute is only used for legacy replication. It is not used for multi master replication.
This attribute is defined in Directory Server.
DirectoryString, single-valued.
Used by read-only replica to recognize master data source while replication is in progess. Contains a reference to the server that holds the master data. Note that this attribute is only used for legacy replication. It is not used for multi master replication.
This attribute is defined in Directory Server.

This attribute is defined in RFC 2252.
DirectoryString, multi-valued.
Multi-valued attribute that defines the name forms used in a subschema. Each value defines one name form.
This attribute is defined in RFC 2252.
DirectoryString, multi-valued.
Corresponds to a naming context the server is mastering or shadowing. When the directory server does not master any information (for example, it is an LDAP gateway to a public X.500 directory), this attribute is absent. When the directory server believes it contains the entire directory, the attribute has a single value, and that value is the empty string (indicating the null DN of the root).This attribute permits a client contacting a server to choose suitable base objects for searching.
This attribute is defined in RFC 2252.
This attribute is a conflict marker attribute. It is included on entries that have a change conflict that cannot be resolved automatically by the replication process.
This attribute is defined in Directory Server.
DirectoryString, multi-valued.
This attribute is a computed attribute that is not stored with the entry itself. It identifies which roles an entry belongs to.
This attribute is defined in Directory Server.
This attribute contains the distinguished name of all roles that apply to an entry. Membership of a managed role is conferred upon an entry by adding the role's DN to the entry's nsRoleDN attribute.
dn: cn=staff,o=Netscape,o=example.com
objectclass: LDAPsubentry
objectclass: nsRoleDefinition
objectclass: nsSimpleRoleDefinition
objectclass: nsManagedRoleDefinitiondn: cn=userA,ou=users,o=Netscape,o=example.com
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
sn: uA
userpassword: secret
nsroledn: cn=staff,o=Netscape,o=example.comA nested role specifies containment of one or more roles of any type. In that case, nsRoleDN defines the DN of the contained roles.
dn: cn=everybody,o=Netscape,o=example.com
objectclass: LDAPsubentry
objectclass: nsRoleDefinition
objectclass: nsComplexRoleDefinition
objectclass: nsNestedRoleDefinition
nsroledn: cn=manager,o=Netscape,o=example.com
nsroledn: cn=staff,o=Netscape,o=example.comThis attribute is defined in Directory Server.
Indicates now many immediate subordinates an entry has.
For example,
numSubordinates=0in a leaf entry.This attribute is defined in numSubordinates Internet Draft.
Multi-valued attribute that defines the object classes used in a subschema. Each value defines one object class.
This attribute is defined in RFC 2252.
DirectoryString, multi-valued.
Used to specify the length of time that must pass before the user is allowed to change their password.
This attribute is defined in Directory Server.
DirectoryString, multi-valued.
Used to specify the length of time that passes before the user's password expires.
This attribute is defined in Directory Server.
GeneralizedTime, multi-valued.
Used to indicate that a password expiration warning has been sent to the user.
This attribute is defined in Directory Server.
DirectoryString, multi-valued.
Contains the history of the user's previous passwords.
This attribute is defined in Directory Server.
Used to count the number of consecutive failed attempts at entering the correct password.
This attribute is defined in Directory Server.
DirectoryString, multi-valued.
Specifies the length of time that passes before the passwordRetryCount is reset.
This attribute is defined in Directory Server.
DirectoryString, multi-valued.
DN of an entry that contains schema information.
This attribute is defined in RFC 2252.
The values of this attribute are the object identifiers (OIDs) that identify the controls supported by the server. When the server does not support controls, this attribute is absent.
This attribute is defined in RFC 2252.
DirectoryString, multi-valued.
The values of this attribute are the object identifiers (OIDs) that identify the supported extended operations supported by the server. When the server does not support extensions, this attribute is absent.
This attribute is defined in RFC 2252.
DirectoryString, multi-valued.
Identifies the versions of the LDAP protocol implemented by the server.
This attribute is defined in RFC 2252.
Identifies the names of supported SASL mechanisms supported by the server. When the server does not support SASL attributes, this attribute is absent.
This attribute is defined in RFC 2252.
DirectoryString, multi-valued.
For add and modify operations, contains the changes made to the entry, in LDIF format.
This attribute is defined in Changelog Internet Draft.
The distinguished name of the entry which contains the set of entries comprising the servers changelog.
This attribute is defined in Changelog Internet Draft.
This single-valued attribute is always present. It contains an integer which uniquely identifies each change made to a directory entry. This number is related to the order in which the change occurred. The higher the number, the later the change.

In the case of
modrdnoperations, specifies whether the old RDN was deleted.This attribute is defined in Changelog Internet Draft.
In the case of
modrdnoperations, specifies the new RDN of the entry.This attribute is defined in Changelog Internet Draft.
In the case of
modrdnoperations, specifies thenewSuperiorattribute of the entry.This attribute is defined in Changelog Internet Draft.
Contains the DN of the entry that was affected by the LDAP operation. In the case of a
modrdnoperation, thetargetDnattribute contains the DN of the entry before it was modified or moved.This attribute is defined in Changelog Internet Draft.
Used to represent changes made to the directory server. You can configure Directory Server 6.1 to maintain a change log that is compatible with the change log implemented in Directory Server 4.1, 4.1, 4.11, 4.12, and 4.13 by enabling the retro change log plug-in. Each entry in the change log has the object class
changeLogEntry.This object class is defined in Changelog Internet Draft.
The distinguished name of an entry added, modified or deleted on a supplier server.
Stores password information for a user in the directory.
This object class is defined in Directory Server.
