Mapping the Object Model to LDAP Schema
The LDAP schema defines the content and structure of the directory tree.
- Scalability - easy directory distribution to many directory servers
- Stability - object deletion in the directory does not break the information model
- Manageability - tree structure allows easy access controls
- Accessibility - directory is optimized toward search performance and is easily accessible from the clients
NOTE: Standardized schema elements are used as much as possible to support the above.
