Unfortunately it has all the machinery but enforcement of these rules don't take place and that peeves me a great deal. For really great schema design these are a must. Unfortunately many don't understand just how important these are including NameForms for carving out the namespace properly. > The > documentation for 1.5.7 claims that ApacheDS is RFC 4512 compliant, however > support for these rules is optional, so some clarification is needed. > Yes we may have falsely advertised this if these features are required. > Furthermore, in order to use DIT structure rules, administrative areas with > there own subschemas would make sence.

However it's really hard to make it work with AAP and IAPs. I hope we get to this at some point. -- Best Regards, -- Alex
