You can create new attribute types or object classes in the schema editor.
When extending the schema, you should not modify native schema elements. Click the corresponding tab for the task that you want to perform.
Creating a new attribute type using the schema editor
You can create attribute types for any new properties that logically belong to objects in your directory. To create a new attribute type:
-
Click the Attribute Types tab, and then in the
Actions list, select New Attribute
Type.
Creating a new object class using the schema editor
Make sure that any attributes that are part of the new object class are defined before creating the object class.
Creating a new object class is similar to creating a new attribute. To create a new object class:
-
Click the Object Classes tab, and then in the
Actions list, select New Object
Class.
Modifying a schema definition
You can only edit schema definitions in the PingDirectory server that are read-write. The schema elements indicated by the Modifiable column in the schema editor's tables can be modified.
To modify a schema definition:
-
Select the object class that you want to modify, and then click .
Deleting a schema definition
You can only delete schema definitions in the PingDirectory server that are read-write. In general, you can only remove schema definitions in the Custom folder of the schema editor. Ensure that the schema element you are deleting is not currently in use.
To delete a schema definition:
-
Select the object class that you want to remove, and then in the
Actions list, select Delete.
The Confirmation dialog box opens.
