> # Attributes Tab of Schema Configuration

> Use this tab to view information about existing attributes, to create new attributes, or to delete attributes you previously created.

> Schema checking. The status line above this tab indicates whether schema checking is enabled or disabled. When schema checking is enabled, only entries conforming to the object classes and attribute syntaxes defined on the schema tabs may be created in the entire directory. By default, schema checking is enabled.

> Use the button in the upper right to disable or enable schema checking.

> Standard Attributes (Read-Only). This table lists the following information for all attributes in the standard schema provided with the directory:

> - Name. The unique name of the attribute.

> - OID. The unique object identifier of the attribute.

> - Syntax. The syntax of the attribute value. For example, the DirectoryString syntax indicates that values for this attribute are not case sensitive.

> - Multi-valued. Whether or not the attribute is multi-valued. A multi-valued attribute may appear several times in the same entry.

> You cannot edit or delete the standard attributes. The standard attributes list also includes configuration attributes for Directory Server and other Sun ONE products. For more information, refer to Chapter 12, "Operational Attributes," in the Sun Java System Directory Server Reference Manual.

> User Defined Attributes. This table lists the user-defined attributes in the directory schema. The information displayed for each attribute is the same for user-defined attributes as for standard attributes (see above).

> Create. Click this button to create a new attribute.

> Edit. Select a user-defined attribute and click this button to edit its definition. Alternatively, you may double-click any line of the table of user-defined attributes.

> Delete. Select a user-defined attribute and click this button to delete it. Make sure that no object classes are using the attribute before you delete it.
