Classnotes | LDAP01 | RecentChanges | Preferences Showing revision 1 As we have seen the basic format for a given line in an LDIF file is defined by attributes and values separated by colons:
attribute: value
We have also seen that LDIFs allow for multivalued attributes using commas:
attribute: value1,value2,value3
So what possible attributes are there? The answer to this is "many", and the attribute definitions vary from purpose to purpose. Completely examining all possible attributes is beyond the scope of this course. However, over the next several days you will gain an understanding of attribute definitions and schema files (next section) such that you will be able to find the attributes for yourself.
So, in this section, we will simply be examining some of the more universal attributes as well as delving into their usage and syntax.
