Overview#

COLLECTIVE Flag is defined in RFC 3671 as an Attribute Usage Flag that indicates that the AttributeType is a Collective Attribute

AttributeTypes with a COLLECTIVE Flag provide a way of defining values that will be assigned to attributes based on the entry's membership in a LDAP Subentry.

Many LDAP Server Implementations do not currently provide support for Collective Attributes.
