Please consider the attached patch which sets allowed "USAGE dSAOperation". This seems to be the most appropriate USAGE compara= ble to what's set for entryTTL in slapo-dds.
No objection with this patch, since those properties were "arbitrarily" assigned to attributes defined by others to provide software interoperability. Unless anyone has objections, I'd commit it.
Go ahead. Please add a comment about the origin of the schema definitions and these interoperability concerns.
These attribute type descriptions were roughly taken from MS AD.
I meant, please add a comment *in the patch* so it will remain in the source code.
There's already a detailed comment to this end in the related README, which links the attribute definitions on http://msdn.microsoft.com/.
As already noted, those links don't provide actual schema definitions, nor do they define the USAGE. We're making a judgement call here with no documentation to support it. We should document why we're defining it this way so we don't have to repeat this conversation again down the road.
p.
Today I've checked the subschema of a W2K8R2 AD server: I did not find a single attribute type description with USAGE although there were attribute types formally defined in RFCs. One example is 'entryTTL' defined with "USAGE dSAOperation" in RFC 2589 which in fact was co-authored by Microsoft employees.
The official Microsoft documentation is here [MS-ADA1]:

Ciao, Michael.
