Hi Adam,

In addition to Chris suggestion, OpenDJ does support multiple inheritance. However, a \
structural object class can only inherit from structural or abstract object classes. \
Likewise an auxiliary object class can only inherit from auxiliary or abstract object \
classes.

Kind regards,

Ludovic

certainly cases where that is not possible with off-the-shelf products.?

Other products do allow auxiliary classes to be added to the object class definition \
itself so that new objects will automatically get it. Do I understand correctly that \
this is not possible?.?

If you plan to extend an object class to add new attribute, the proper way is to use \
either subclassing or auxiliary object class. Which means that you have to add the \
object class when you are adding the new attributes to entries. There is no way to \
have the object class to magically appear in the entries.

You shouldn't modify existing object classes especially if it's defined in \
00-core.ldif which means it standard.

Kind regards,

Ludovic

All of the documentation points to creating a new object class to hold any new \
attributes. Is there a way to add attributes to an existing class? Either by having \
the attributes directly on the object or via an aux class that will be added *by \
default* to new instances of a class. A method that wouldn't involve editing the \
00-core.ldif file?
