Zone Attributes in Classic SFU-Compliant Zones

The zone object class and its attributes in the classic SFU zone are similar to the classic Server Suite zone, except that the zone must also include the NIS domain name and domain attributes. Like the classic Server Suite zones, the zone object is stored as a container object, and the common name (cn) of the object must be set to the zone name. Most of the other attributes for a zone are stored as pseudo-attributes using the Active Directory description attribute.

The following table summarizes how zone attributes are stored in Active Directory for SFU-compliant zones. For more information about any attribute setting, see Zone attributes in classic Server Suite zones.

Zone attribute Stored in Active Directory attribute
ZoneName cn:ZoneName For example: cn:default
ZoneVersion displayName:ZoneVersion The only valid value is \$CimsZoneVersion2. For example: displayName:\$CimsZoneVersion2

NextGid description:gidnext:value For example: description:gidnext:12098
ReservedUids description:uidreserved:value For example: description:uidreserved:0-99:501
ReservedGids description:gidreserved:value For example: description: gidreserved:1000-2500
Availableshells description:availableshells:value For example: description:availableshells:/bin/sh
