The second link you provided (at port 389.org) specifically mentions using the “account” objectclass. I don’t have access to RHN to read the first link, though.

The documents indicate that you can only have one Structural ObjectClass and multiple Aux. ObjectClasses, and I'm a bit hazy on the rules for Abstract ObjectClasses. If I take the example of needing to add the "host" attribute to a user object. A RHN knowledgebase article indicates to add the "hostobject" ObjectClass rather than the "Account" ObjectClass.
My assumption was that "hostobject" was an Aux. ObjectClass, and that "Account" was Structural, but when I look at the two ObjectClasses via the administrative GUI, they both have "Top" listed as the parent ObjectClass. So I'm not certain why one is appropriate and the other is not. It would appear the console does not tell you if the objectclass is structural, auxiliary, or abstract. You cannot tell by just the inheritance - by default, all objectclasses have "top" as the superior unless otherwise specified. Moving forward I want to be able to combine ObjectClasses to extend available objects without introducing data integrity issues in my ldap directory. I am looking for some clarification of rules regarding structural objectclasses, See rfc4512 and if there is an easy way via the admin gui to tell the difference between structural, auxillary, and abstract objectclasses. No. You'll have to search cn=schema to check: Also will the directory do some sort of intregrity checking if you attempt to combine improper objectclasses either via commandline or the admin gui? Yes, although by default 389 will allow an entry to have multiple structural objectclasses, but that will change in a future release, so don't rely on that behavior.
