Overview#

A STRUCTURAL ObjectClass is one of the primary ObjectClass Types.

A STRUCTURAL ObjectClass is special in that it defines the core type for any entry that contains it.

An ObjectClass defined for use in the STRUCTURAL specification of the DIT is termed a STRUCTURAL ObjectClass.

STRUCTURAL ObjectClass are used in the definition of the structure of the names of the objects for compliant LDAP Entry.

Every LDAP Entry is when created characterized by precisely one STRUCTURAL ObjectClass superclass chain which has a single STRUCTURAL ObjectClass as the most subordinate ObjectClass. This "primary" or "naming" objectClass can not be changed after the LDAP Entry is created.

STRUCTURAL ObjectClass are related to associated entries - an entry conforming to a STRUCTURAL ObjectClass shall represent the real-world object constrained by the ObjectClass.
DIT Structure Rules only refer to STRUCTURAL ObjectClass which allows the the STRUCTURAL ObjectClass of an entry is used to specify the position of the entry in the DIT;
the STRUCTURAL ObjectClass of an LDAP Entry is used, along with an associated DIT Content Rule, to control the content of an entry.
The STRUCTURAL ObjectClass of an LDAP Entry shall not be changed.
Each STRUCTURAL ObjectClass is a (direct or indirect) subclass of the 'Top' ABSTRACT ObjectClass.
STRUCTURAL ObjectClass cannot subclass an AUXILIARY ObjectClass.
Each LDAP Entry is said to belong to its STRUCTURAL ObjectClass as well as all classes in its STRUCTURAL ObjectClass's superclass chain.

The STRUCTURAL ObjectClass for an LDAP Entry may be used by other schema elements for defining constraints on directory data.

The STRUCTURAL ObjectClass may be used by a Name Form definition to control the attribute(s) used in the Relative Distinguished Name for the entry, and in turn by a DIT Structure Rule to control the types of parent entries that it may have.

The STRUCTURAL ObjectClass may also be used by a DIT Content Rule to control the set of AUXILIARY and required, allowed, and prohibited Attribute Types for the LDAP Entry.
