Name Bindings and Structural Object Classes

When an entry has more than one object class, the DSA looks through its list of name bindings to ensure that one exists between one of the structural object classes of the parent and one of the structural object classes of the entry containing the appropriate naming attribute. It then uses this structural object class to find a name binding and ignores all other auxiliary object classes.

The DSA permits modification of the structural object class only when a name binding satisfies the parent-object relationship and the object is a leaf entry.
