cosIndirectSpecifier

Specifies the attribute value used by an

 

indirect CoS to identify the template entry.

 

 

cosSpecifier

Specifies the attribute value used by a classic

 

CoS, which, along with the template entry's

 

DN, identifies the template entry.

 

 

cosTemplateDn

pointer CoS and classic CoS only.

 

 

Table 5.3. CoS Definition Entry Attributes

The cosAttribute attribute allows an additional qualifier after the attribute value. There are four possible qualifiers:

Default. This qualifier indicates that the server only returns a generated value if there is no corresponding attribute value stored with the entry.

Override. This qualifier indicates that the server always returns the value generated by the CoS, even when there is a value stored with the entry.

Operational. This qualifier indicates that the attribute will only be returned if it is explicitly requested in the search. Operational attributes do not need to pass a schema check in order
