6.1 - AdministrativePoint

An AdministrativePoint is an entry in the DIT which is associated with some AdministrativeArea. In ApacheDS we support 4 different kind of roles:

• ACI
• Collective Attributes
• SubSchema
• Triggers

We also have three different types of _AdministrativePoint_s:

• Autonomous AdministrativePoint (AAP)
• Specific AdministrativePoint (SAP)
• Inner AdministrativePoint (IAP)

Each of the roles comes in one of 3 ‘flavors’ (except the SubSchema whch has only 2 flavors). So we have the following classes:

• AccessControl
  • AccessControlAAP
  • AccessControlSAP
  • AccessControlIAP
• CollectiveAttribute
  • CollectiveAttributeAAP
  • CollectiveAttributeSAP
  • CollectiveAttributeIAP
• Subschema
  • SubschemaAAP
  • SubschemaSAP
• Triggers
  • TriggerExecutionAAP
  • TriggerExecutionSAP
  • TriggerExecutionIAP

These classes stores the following information:

• dn : The DN of the root entry for this administration point.
• uuid : The associated entryUUID
• role : The Administrative role
• parent : The parent (if any) AdministrativePoint
• children : All the descendant of this AdministrativePoint
