Appendix A General Information
This appendix covers the following topics:
LDAP Overview
Messaging Server and Calendar Server products include object classes and attributes
defined by the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and extensions to the
standard LDAP schema that extend the basic functionality of LDAP.
Initially developed at the University of Michigan, LDAP is a lightweight version
of the X.500 Directory Access Protocol. LDAP has become an Internet standard for directory
services running over TCP/IP.
One or more LDAP servers contain the data that make up the LDAP directory. An
LDAP directory stores information in object-oriented hierarchies of entries. Each
entry is uniquely identified by a distinguished name, or DN. The DN consists of the
comma-separated sequence of attributes and values that specify the unique location
of an entry within the directory information tree. This provides a path of names tracing
the entry back to the top of the directory hierarchy.
Attribute Syntax
Directory data is represented as attribute-value pairs. Any specific piece of
information is associated with a descriptive attribute.
Each attribute has a corresponding syntax definition. The syntax definition
describes the type of information provided by the attribute.

Required and allowed attributes for each object class are included in the object
class listing.
Unless otherwise noted, attributes are assumed to be multi-valued, that is,
more than one instance of the attribute can be specified. Attributes that are single-valued,
that is, only one instance of the attribute can be specified, are noted as such in
the Syntax heading, found in each attribute definition.
Object Identifiers
To meet LDAP and X.500 standards, all attributes and objects should have been
assigned Object identifiers (OID's). An OID is a sequence of integers, typically written
as a dot-separated string. The OID identifies who first filed the name of the object
or attribute with the standards committee.
In some cases, objects and attributes listed in this document do not have an
OID assigned to them yet.
Standard Time Zones
The following two tables lists the time zones recognized by Calendar and Messaging
Servers first in alphabetical order, and then by offset from Universal Time Constant
(UTC).
Note that in some countries, like Israel, daylight savings time is not always
observed every year. The decision is made year-by-year. Also, some individual states
in the United States do not observe daylight savings time.
This means that some time offsets will not be accurate unless the definitions
are updated as needed in the respective systems (see individual product documentation
for information about adjusting time zone offsets).
The following table lists the time zones in alphabetical order.
