A.3 Attribute definitions

The following define the most common attributes used to describe an entry in the directory tree. To determine which attributes are required and allowed for each object class, see Section A.2.

Each attribute has a corresponding syntax definition that describes the nature of the attribute information. This syntax is important only when the directory server is performing sorting and pattern matching; there is nothing to otherwise prevent you from, for example, placing a telephone number on an attribute that expects a distinguished name. For more information about attributes and attribute values, see Section A.1.4.

The possible attribute syntaxes are:

Attributes are defined in the NSHOME\slapd-server\config\slapd.at.conf file.

A.3.1 administratorContactInfo

Provides a URL to information about the person responsible for administering the Netscape server. This attribute is a Netscape extension used by the netscapeServer object class. Normally this attribute and this attribute value is written to the directory when a Netscape server is initially installed. For example:

o=Ace Industry, c=US 

Syntax: cis

A.3.2 adminURL

Provides the URL to the administration server through which you can manage the Netscape server. This attribute is a Netscape extension used by the netscapeServer object class.

If no instances of this attribute exist on the mailGroup entry, then there are no restrictions on who can send messages to the mail group unless the mgrpAllowedDomain attribute is used.

The Messaging Server expects this attribute to contain either a distinguished name or a rfc822address. If a distinguished name is used, it must represent a mailable entry or entries of type group or groupOfUniqueNames. The distinguished name must be represented in the form of a LDAP URL as described in RFC1959, An LDAP URL format.

For example:

Industry, c=US 
mgrpAllowedBroadcaster: mailto:sys50@aceindustry.com 

Syntax: ces

A.3.38 mgrpAllowedDomain

Identifies domains from which users are allowed to send messages to the mail group. This attribute is a Netscape extension used by the Messaging Server to manage mailing lists. If no instances of this attribute exist on the mailGroup entry, then there are no restrictions on who can send messages to the mail group unless the mgrpAllowedBroadcaster attribute is used.

This is by defaulted to a wild card value. That is, a value of "aceindustry.com" will match any user sending from "*.aceindustry.com"

For example:


mgrpAllowedDomain: aceindustry.com 

Syntax: cis

A.3.39 mgrpDeliverTo

Alternative method of specifying mail group membership. This attribute is a Netscape extension used by the Messaging Server to manage mailing lists. The Messaging Server expects this attribute to contain an LDAP URL using the format described in RFC1959, An LDAP URL format. Any entries returned by the resulting LDAP search are members of the mailing group. For example:


mgrpDeliverTo: 
ldap:///ou=Accounting,o=Netscape,c=US??sub?(& 
           
(objectClass=mailRecipient)(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)) 

Syntax: ces

A.3.40 mgrpErrorsTo

Identifies a mailing address to send error messages to for notification of mail delivery problems, such as bounced mails or members of the mailing group that lack a mailing address. This attribute is a Netscape extension used by the Messaging Server to manage mailing lists. If no instances of this attribute exist on the mailGroup entry, then error handling is managed according to the default set in the Messaging Server.

The Messaging Server expects this attribute to contain either a distinguished name or a rfc822address. If a distinguished name is used, it must represent a mailable entry or entries of type group or groupOfUniqueNames. The distinguished name must be represented in the form of a LDAP URL as described in RFC1959, An LDAP URL format.

For example:


mgrpErrorsTo: ldap://uid=bjensen, o=Ace Industry, c=US 
mgrpErrorsTo: mailto:sys50@aceindustry.com 

Syntax: ces

A.3.41 mgrpModerator

Identifies a mailing address to send rejected messages to. This attribute is a Netscape extension used by the Messaging Server to manage mailing lists. This is the address that rejected mail from a mailing list is sent to.

The Messaging Server may reject mail either because it is received from an unauthorized domain (as defined by the mgrpAllowedDomain attribute) or is received from an mail address that is not a member of the mgrpAllowedBroadcaster attribute. The Messaging Server will only forward mail to the address(es) identified by this attribute if the mgrpMsgRejectAction attribute includes toModerator. If no instances of this attribute exist on the mailGroup entry, and mgrpMsgRejectAction attribute is set to toModerator, then rejected mail that is supposed to be sent to the moderator is dumped (that is, it is deleted from the mail system with no further human interaction).

The Messaging Server expects this attribute to contain either a distinguished name or a rfc822address. If a distinguished name is used, it must represent a mailable entry or entries of type group or groupOfUniqueNames. The distinguished name must be represented in the form of a LDAP URL as described in RFC1959, An LDAP URL format.

For example:


mgrpErrorsTo: ldap://uid=bjensen, o=Ace Industry, c=US 
mgrpErrorsTo: mailto:sys50@aceindustry.com 

Syntax: ces

A.3.42 mgrpMsgMaxSize

Identifies the maximum message size in bytes that is allowed to be sent to the mail group. This attribute is a Netscape extension used by the Messaging Server to manage mailing lists. The Messaging Server expects one and only one instance of this attribute to exist for every mailGroup entry. For example:


mgrpMsgMaxSize: 2000 

Syntax: cis

A.3.43 mgrpMsgRejectAction

Identifies the action to be taken when a mail sent to a mail group is rejected. This attribute is a Netscape extension used by the Messaging Server to manage mailing lists.

The Messaging Server may reject mail either because it is received from an unauthorized domain (as defined by the mgrpAllowedDomain attribute), is received from an mail address that is not a member of the mgrpAllowedBroadcaster attribute, or is larger than the size permitted on mgrpMsgMaxSize.

The Messaging Server expects from zero to two (0-2) instances of this attribute per mailGroup entry. If no instances of this attribute exist on the mailGroup entry, then reply is used by default. Valid keywords for this attribute are:

  1. reply---send a failure notice to the sender. The text of the failure notice is stored on the mgrpMsgRejectText attribute.
  2. bounce---return the message to the sender with the comment stored on the mgrpMsgRejectText attribute.
  3. toModerator---forward the message to the moderator for processing. The moderator is identified by the mgrpModerator attribute.

For example:


mgrpMsgRejectAction: bounce 

Syntax: cis

A.3.44 mgrpMsgRejectText

Identifies the text to be sent by the Messaging Server when mail sent to a mail group is rejected and the mgrpMsgRejectAction attribute is set to either bounce or reply. This attribute is a Netscape extension used by the Messaging Server to manage mailing lists.

The Messaging Server expects from zero to one (0-1) instances of this attribute to exist per mailGroup entry. Multiline text may be delimited using $ when represented in LDIF format. If no instances of this attribute exist on the mailGroup entry, then the default text set in the Messaging Server is used for rejected mail.

For example:


mgrpMsgRejectText: The mail you have sent to the Crazed Bikers$ 
mailing list has been rejected because$you are not a recognized 
member of the Crazed Bikers group.$Please contact Big 
Daddy Biker at rsweeny@aceindustry.com for information on how to 
become$a crazed biker. 

Syntax: ces

A.3.45 mgrpRFC822Mail Member

Identifies recipients of mail sent to a mailGroup that are not actually members of the mail group. Conceptually, these mail addresses can be thought of as "CC recipients". That is, this attribute is used to represent mail recipients that cannot be expressed as distinguished names, or who are to be sent mail from this group but who do not have the full privileges of a unique group member. This attribute is a Netscape extension used by the Messaging Server to manage mailing lists.

The Messaging Server expects this attribute to contain rfc822 mail addresses using the following form:


rfc822MailAddress [ % 'full' name] [ %1 (group 
parameter #1)] [ %2 (group parameter #2)]... 

where:

  1. rfc822MailAddress is an address such as bjensen@aceindustry.com
  2. full name is an optional parameter representing the user's full name. This parameter is reserved for future use.
