Extending an existing entry
This exercise sheds some insight on schema support. LDAP supports building types similar to classes in
OO languages by means of objectClass
definitions. On contrary these types are not static but allow for run
time modification during an LDAP object's life
span.
The entry
uid=bean,ou=devel,ou=software,ou=departments,dc=betrayer;dc=com
may be extended by the objectclass
posixAccount. Construct a LDIF file to
add the attributes uidNumber, gidNumber and
homeDirectory by a modify/add operation.
