Notices

The name of the new attribute must be unique within the Directory Schema attribute definitions. The names of the attributes for the Base Schema are listed in the ``Attribute Type Definitions'' chapter of NetWare Directory Services Schema Specification. New attributes added by other applications must be read from the Schema on a server by calling NWDSReadAttrDef.

New Attribute names should be cleared through Developer Support in order to guarantee uniqueness.
