Object Identifiers (OIDs) and attributes in the root DSE

The OIDs and attributes discussed in the provided sections are used in IBM® Security Directory Server 11.0.1.

These OIDs and attributes are in the root DSE. The root DSE entry contains information about the server itself.

IBM Verify Directory defines a root DSE entry that an LDAP server provides to supply you with information about the LDAP server. For example, you might want to know what version of LDAP a server supports.

To list the OIDs and attributes in the root DSE, run the following command:
idsldapsearch -D <AdminDN> -w <Adminpw> -s base 
-b "" objectclass=*
