Attribute Sets

Attribute sets let you easily group attribute definitions under a label so you can use them later in object class and other definitions.

Define attribute sets in the configuration file using the set attr-set command. The attribute set is given an object identifier and a definition. The definition consists of a name and a list of attributes or attribute sets that are contained in the attribute set being defined.

Example: Attribute Set

set attr-set x500aset:3 = {
	name = organizationalAttributeSet
	description,
	localeAttributeSet,
	postalAttributeSet,
	telecommunicationAttributeSet,
	businessCategory,
	seeAlso,
	searchGuide,
	userPassword
};

Attribute sets are a convenient way of grouping large numbers of attributes together for use in object class definitions. Attribute sets can contain other previously defined attribute sets.
