!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] describes the [LDAPSyntaxes] for [ObjectClasses]
The [{$pagename}] format is described in [RFC 4512], section 4.1.1. The definition is as follows:
{{{
     ObjectClassDescription = LPAREN WSP
         numericoid                 ; object identifier
         [ SP "NAME" SP qdescrs ]   ; short names (descriptors)
         [ SP "DESC" SP qdstring ]  ; description
         [ SP "OBSOLETE" ]          ; not active
         [ SP "SUP" SP oids ]       ; superior object classes
         [ SP kind ]                ; kind of class
         [ SP "MUST" SP oids ]      ; attribute types
         [ SP "MAY" SP oids ]       ; attribute types
         extensions WSP RPAREN
         
     kind = "ABSTRACT" / "STRUCTURAL" / "AUXILIARY"
}}}
!! [objectClass] Definition
The components of an [{$pagename}] include:
* [numericoid] - A [Numeric String|NumericString] [OID] used to uniquely identify the [objectClass]. Some [LDAP Server Implementations] also allows a non-numeric [OID] for the purpose of convenience.
* [NAME] - An [OPTIONAL] set of human-readable names that may be used to refer to the object class. If there is a single name, then it should be enclosed in single quotes. If there are multiple names, then they should each be enclosed in single quotes separated by spaces and the entire set of names should be enclosed in parentheses.
* [SUP] - An [OPTIONAL] set of superior class(es) for the [objectClass]. When an [objectClass] has multiple superior classes, the "[SUP]" keyword should be followed by a space and the name or [OID] of the superior [objectClass]. If there are multiple superior classes, then they [SHOULD] be separated by dollar signs ($) and the entire set of superior classes should be enclosed in parentheses.
* [ObjectClass Types] - An [OPTIONAL] [ObjectClass Types] value that indicate whether the [objectClass] is [STRUCTURAL], [AUXILIARY], or [ABSTRACT].
* [MUST] - An [OPTIONAL] set of one or more attribute type names or [OIDs] for attributes that [MUST] be present in entries containing the [objectClass].
* [MAY] - An [OPTIONAL] set of one or more [AttributeTypes] names or [OIDs] for attributes that [MAY] optionally be present in entries containing the object class.
* An [OPTIONAL] human-readable description ([DESC]). If there is a description, then it should be enclosed in single quotation marks.
* An [OPTIONAL] [OBSOLETE] that may be used to indicate whether the object class is active. If an object class is marked as [Obsolete], then it should not be referenced by any new elements created in the server.
* [Extended Flags] - An optional set of [Extended Flags] for the object class.
