It depends - what is the client? If the client is an OS, Fedora DS uses 
the standard posix objectclasses and attributes.

You can't control this through the directory server unless the client 
can already model the file/folder relationships through the directory 
server. Usually clients don't do this unless you are using some sort of 
policy engine like SiteMinder, and even that won't work for OS 
file/folder permissions. That is normally used for web site URL access.

Usually ldap+os integration means that you still set file/folder 
ownership and permissions using the familiar chown and chmod commands, 
but the actual uid/gid information is looked up in ldap rather than from 
/etc/passwd and /etc/groups.
