According to RFC 4512

the no. of attributes which are possible in an entry must be a subset of
the structural object class the entry belongs to.

You have completely ignored "DIT content rule" in the quoted sentence.

But it says "DIT content rule associated with the
     structural object class of the entry"

A DIT content rule is always associated with exactly one structural object class (by having the same OID). This does not say anything about the use of auxiliary object classes within the same entry.

Could you please come up with a concrete example to better explain your question.

Ciao, Michael.


Ok, I'll assume that as the right thing. So an Auxiliary object class which an entry belongs to (apart from a structural one) can be a subset of any other structural object class. Thanks for clarifying.

What I understand from the RFC text is that for e.g. there's a structural object class B and an auxiliary object class A for an object O; then O can only belong to A only if A is a subset of B, that's why we have

"allowed by the DIT content rule associated with the structural object class of the entry"
