Managing CoS Using the Console

8. Click OK.

2.2.2. Creating the CoS Template Entry

For a pointer CoS or a classic CoS, there must be a template entry, according to the template DN set when the class of service was created. Although the template entries can be placed anywhere in the directory as long as the cosTemplateDn attribute reflects that DN, it is best to place the template entries under the CoS itself.

For a pointer CoS, make sure that this entry reflects the exact DN given when the CoS was created. For a classic CoS, the template DN should be recursive, pointing back to the CoS entry itself as the base suffix for the template.

1.In the Directory Server Console, select the Directory tab.

2.Browse the tree in the left navigation pane, and select the parent entry that contains the class of service.

The CoS appears in the right pane with other entries.

3.Right-click on the CoS and select New > Other.

4.Select cosTemplate from the list of object classes.

NOTE

The LDAPsubentry object class can be added to a new template entry. Making the CoS template entry an instance of the LDAPsubentry object class allows ordinary searches to be performed unhindered by the configuration entries. However, if the template entry already exists and is used for something else (for example, if it is a user entry), the LDAPsubentry object class does not need to be added to the template entry.

5.The Property Editor opens.

6.Select the object classes attribute, and hit Add Value. Add the extensibleObject object class. This makes it possible to add any attribute available in the directory.

7.Click on the Add Attribute button.

Add the cn attribute, and give it a value that corresponds to the attribute value in the target entry. For example, if the manager attribute is used to set the value for a classic CoS, give the cn a value of uid=bparker,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com. Alternatively, set it to a role, such as cn=QA Role,dc=example,dc=com or a regular attribute value. For example, if the employeeType attribute is selected, it can be full time or temporary.
