Extensible Objects

If you define an object as extensible, it may contain any attribute that is already defined in the DSA schema.

Extensible objects are defined in RFC 4512. This standard defines the auxiliary object class extensibleObject.

The auxiliary object class extensibleObject is defined in the schema file ldapv3.dxc, which is supplied with CA Directory. However, it is not in the default schema group. If you want a DSA to use this schema, you must add it to the DSA's initialization file.

There are two ways to make an object extensible:

• Add the extensibleObject object class to an object.

  For instructions, see Make an Existing Object Extensible.

• Add all-attributes to the may-contain list in the schema.
