  • Fwd: Why groupOfURLs is STRUTURAL?

    Dear, list!
    I'm trying to implement dynamic posixGroup using dynlist overlay. The
    problem is that both posixGroup and URLs are STRUCTURAL object
    classes, i.e. do not stick together.
    dyngroup.schema states:
    "Dynamic Group schema (experimental), as defined by Netscape"
    I've checked schemas that come with Fedora Directory Server (FDS)
    (which itself originates from NetScape server, ASFAIK). In those
    schemas, URLs is not defined neither as STRUCTURAL nor as
    AUXILIARY:
    objectClasses: ( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.2.33 NAME 'URLs' DESC
    'Netscape defined objectclass' SUP top MUST ( cn ) MAY ( memberURL $
    businessCategory $ description $ o $ ou $ owner $ seeAlso ) XRIGIN
    'Netscape Directory Server' )
    My question is:
    Is there any reason that URLs objectclass is defined as
    STRUCTURAL and not as AUXILIARY?

    Every object class is either structural, auxiliary, or abstract
    Where an object class description doesn't include a keyword
    indicating the kind, the kind defaults to structural. See RFC 4512.

    This description is semantically equivalent to that provided in
    dynschema. That is, both describe the class as structural.

    Thank you for reply. Back to original problem:
    How can I implement "Dynamic posixGroup" - i.e. posixGroup with
    memberURL atributte evaluated by dynlist overlay.

    IIRC, URLs is an alternative way of expressing a
    Names and/or UniqueNames. I don't believe
    it was intended to be used as an alterative way of expressing
    a posixGroup.

    You could code something similar by hacking on the dyngroup
    overlay.

    You could hack your rfc2307 schema into rfc2307bis, where posixGroup is
    defined as AUXILIARY. Some distros already do this, and eventually it
    will be the norm.

    Create an objectClass of your own which inherits from both posixGroup
    and URLs; or, since dynlist's dynamic objectClass is
    configurable, create your own class which inherits from posixGroup and
    has the memberURL member.
