NDS DTD

The NDS document type definition file (nds.dtd) defines the schema of the XML documents that the Identity Manager engine can process. This documentation describes the structure and usage of XDS documents based on nds.dtd as used in DirXML. XML documents that do not conform to this schema generate errors.

The nds dtd defines the following:

Input and output commands and events (such as <add>, <delete>, <modify>, and <rename>) that can be performed on entries and the data that must be included with each.
Driver initialization operations (such as authentication information, driver filter, configuration options, and state) for the driver shim, publisher shim, and subscriber shim and the data that these operations require.
Schema operations for defining class and attribute definitions.
