Environment
Novell Modular Authentication Service (NMAS) version 3.2.0
Situation
The class definitions for nspmPasswordAux and
nspmPasswordPolicyContainer defined in the nspm.sch file
inadvertently have the same value for the ASN1 OID field.
This value is 2.16.840.1.113719.1.39.43.6.2. For normal NMAS
operations, this is not an issue, as these classes are not accessed
using the OID value. However, should you want to use LDAP
access to add the nspmPasswordAux class to an object, for example,
it would fail because of these duplicate OID values.
Resolution
The OID value for the nspmPasswordPolicyContainer class definition
will be changed to have the last field be 4 instead of 2 in the
next major release of eDirectory and NMAS. If this is an
issue for you, you can change the OID value for
thenspmPasswordPolicyContainer definition by executing the
following schema file.

This can be run using NWConfig on a NetWare Server, using ndssch on a Linux server, or from ndscons on a Windows server using the install.dlm service to install additional schema files.

Additional Information
When iManager 2.7 sp2 is released later in the fall of 2008, it
will be possible to directly edit the ASN1 OID field, and manually
correct the value there, presuming it is running on a replica of
the [Root] partition.
