Currently, the attributeType statement does not allow to define operational attributes. The rationale was that operational attributes are somehow application-maintained, so configuration-defined attrs would be essentially unmaintainable. At the same time, modules that are able to maintain operational attributes can register them bypassing some of the checks attributes defined via configuration must pass. However, the availability of the "relax" control could make this restriction too strict. In fact, there are works in progress (e.g. draft-wahl-ldap-adminaddr) that define operational attrs which could easily be defined via configuration and maintained via the relax control. This is a feature request to suggest the possibility to define operational attrs via configuration.
