Hi!
Sorry, this is a somewhat generic question: I wonder what difference it makes whether I specify "objectClass: top" for
an object, or not: Conceptually, "top" is included automatically (so the objectClass attribute goes to any structural
class), but when I fetch an object, I never see the "top" objectClass. Explicitly specifying "objectClass:
top" makes every object a few bytes larger. So is there any reason to explicitly specify "objectClass: top"?
very interesting point.
I have a customer with an enterprise application that insists on having an
explicit objectClass: top on all entries.
Their developers argue that the rfcs mandate an explicit objectClass: top on
all entries. I argue that the wording in the respective rfcs is not exact
enough. Having an objectClass that inherits from top should be enough from my
point of view.
I am currently travelling and cannot lookup the rfc.
