Extending the LDAP directory schema with Db2 object classes and attributes

The LDAP Directory Schema defines object classes and attributes for the information stored in the LDAP directory entries. An object class consists of a set of mandatory and optional attributes. Every entry in the LDAP directory has an object class associated with it.

Before the Db2 database manager can store information in LDAP, the Directory Schema for the LDAP server must include the object classes and attributes that the Db2 database system uses. The process of adding new object classes and attributes to the base schema is called schema extension.
