Hello,

We are currently working on making our existing directory LDAP compatible
(LDAP client).
We have currently succeeded in connecting to the server, creating, updating
and deleting entries. So far, so good...
But we are now facing questions that our little knowledge about LDAP is
unable to answer :
    - We have noticed that if we create an entry with a new attribute, not
known to the server, this one is created automatically into this server. Is
it possible to disable this possibility into the server, or is there some
kind of "naming convention" that prevents us from doing so ?
    - Have we got the possibility to query the server in order to know what
are the existing attributes for object classes, in order to make a
correspondance with our internal fields ?

Thank you in advance for any information that you could provide us with,


Georges MONIER
