-3. Definition
+The class ldapSubEntry is intended to be used as a super-
+class when defining other structural classes to be used
+as LDAP Subentries, and as the structural class to which
+Auxiliary classes may be added for application specific
+subentry information. Where possible, the use of Auxiliary
+classes to extend ldapSubEntries is strongly preferred.
+
+The presence of ldapSubEntry in the list of super-classes
+of an entry in the directory makes that entry an LDAP
+Subentry. Object classes derived from ldapSubEntry are
+themselves considered ldapSubEntry classes, for the purpose
+of this discussion.
+LDAP Subentries MAY be named by their commonName attribute
+[LDAPv3]. Other naming attributes are also permitted.
-3.1 ldapSubEntry Class
+LDAP Subentries MAY be containers, unlike their [X.501]
+counterparts.

- DESC 'LDAP Subentry class, version 1'
- SUP top STRUCTURAL
- MUST ( cn ) )
+LDAP Subentries MAY be contained by, and will usually be
+located in the directory information tree immediately
+subordinate to, administrative points and/or naming
+contexts. Further (unlike X.500 subentries), LDAP
+Subentries MAY be contained by other LDAP Subentries (the
+way organizational units may be contained by other
+organizational units). Deep nestings of LDAP Subentries
+are discouraged, but not prohibited.
+
+LDAP Subentries SHOULD be treated as "operational objects"
+in much the same way that "operational attributes" are not
+regularly provided in search results and read operations
+when only user attributes are requested).
+
+LDAP servers SHOULD implement the following special
+handling of ldapSubEntry entries:
+
+a) search operations which include a matching criteria

+from the ldapSubEntry class in the scope of their
+operations;
+
+b) search operations which do not include a matching
+criteria "objectclass=ldapSubEntry" MUST IGNORE entries
+derived from the ldapSubEntry class, and exclude them from
+the scope of their operations.
+

+SHOULD support this special handling, and if they do they
+MUST do it as described, and not some other way.
-The class ldapSubEntry is intended to be used as a super class when
-defining other structural classes to be used as LDAP Subentries. The
-presence of ldapSubEntry in the list of super-classes of an entry in
-the directory makes that entry an LDAP Subentry. Object classes
-derived from ldapSubEntry are themselves considered ldapSubEntry
-classes, for the purpose of this discussion.
-LDAP Subentries MAY be named by their commonName attribute [LDAPv3].
-Other naming attributes are also permitted.
-LDAP Subentries MAY be containers, unlike their [X.501] counterparts.
+4. Security Considerations
-LDAP Subentries MAY be contained by, and will usually be located in
-the directory information tree immediately subordinate to,
-administrative points and/or naming contexts [LDUPINFO]. Further
-(unlike X.500 subentries), LDAP Subentries MAY be contained by other
-LDAP Subentries (the way organizational units may be contained by
-other organizational units). Deep nestings of LDAP Subentries are
-discouraged, but not prohibited.
+LDAP Subentries will frequently be used to hold data which
+reflects either the actual or intended behavior of the
+directory service. As such, permission to read such
+entries MAY need to be restricted to authorized users.
+More importantly, IF a directory service treats the
+information in an LDAP Subentry as the authoritative source
+of policy to be used to control the behavior of the
+directory, then permission to create, modify, or delete
+such entries MUST be carefully restricted to authorized
+administrators.
-LDAP Subentries SHOULD be treated as "operational objects" in much the
-same way that "operational attributes" are not regularly provided in
-search results and read operations when only user attributes are
-requested).
-LDAP servers SHOULD implement the following special handling of
-ldapSubEntry entries:
-a) search operations which include a matching criteria
-"objectclass=ldapSubEntry" MUST include entries derived from the
-ldapSubEntry class in the scope of their operations;
