You can use the instructions provided here to view the attributes contained in the schema.

About this task

Expand Schema management in the navigation area and click Manage attributes. A read-only panel is displayed that enables you to view the attributes in the schema and their characteristics. The attributes are displayed in alphabetical order. Use the table options to locate the attribute that you want to view. See Using tables in the Web Administration Tool for information on how to use these options.
Note: When the Web admin tool is used to access the admin server:
  • The status bar on the Manage attributes panel displays a message indicating that the tool is connected to the admin server. If you access panels that are not supported by admin server, a message is displayed indicating that the functions on the panels are not supported.
  • The Manage attributes panel is enabled based on the capabilities present in rootDSE for ibm-supportedcapabilities attribute.

After you have located the attribute that you want, you can view its syntax, whether it is multi-valued, and the object classes that contain it. Expand the drop-down menu for object classes to see the list of object classes for the attribute.

To view additional information about the attribute:
  1. Select the attribute.
  2. Click View.
The View attributes panel is displayed.

This panel has two tabs. The Formatted view tab supplies the attribute name, description, OID, superior attribute, syntax, attribute length, multiple values enabled status, matching rules, IBM extensions, and indexing rules. The information is displayed in a printable format. The Server view tab provides the information in the format used in the attribute file on the server.

When you are finished click Close to return to the IBM Verify Directory Manage attributes panel.
