Settings in depth

There are a few settings that may be not so obvious:

  • Additional User Object Classes: User object classes that will be assigned to a user and will also define assigned attributes. For example, simpleSecurityObject will make users posses the userPasswordattribute.

  • User Object Class: The structural class of your users. Just like the additional user object classes it will define the added attributes but also will be used during user search. Defguard will only consider entries with this class as users.
