Hi All,

I know that if an nTSecurityDescriptor is not specified when you instantiate
an object in AD, it's value defaults to the Class's
defaultSecurityDescriptor.  What I don't understand is the fact that their
strings differ when you print them out in LDIF.  Here is an example:

defaultSecurityDescriptor (of class MINE-OBJ-New-Class): 
D:P(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;DA)(A;;LCRPRC;;;WD)

nTSecurityDescriptor (of an object of class type MINE-OBJ-New-Class
generated without specifying the nTSecurityDescriptor)  :
 
AQAUnHAAAACMAAAAFAAAADAAAAACABwAAQAAAALSFABrAQ0AAQEAAAAAAAEAAAAAAgBAAAIAAAAA
AC
 
QA/wEPAAEFAAAAAAAFFQAAAP4mxkiAePUxdbl1VAACAAAAABQAFAACAAEBAAAAAAABAAAAAAEFAA
AA
 AAAFFQAAAP4mxkiAePUxdbl1VAACAAABBQAAAAAABRUAAAD+JsZIgHj1MXW5dVQBAgAA

Can anyone explain why these are represented differently?

On the Topic of SecurityDescriptors...I would like to specify that a
Security Group that I have created be added to the defaultSecurityDescriptor
for all of the classes I have extended my schema with.  How would I go about
doing that?

Thanks for your help,
Justin
