The Map Schema Policy is used to enable every user to get a user specific view of the directory information. Theimportance of this policy is that the application need not change for the sake of the directory. If there is an incoming request that contains certain attributes whose naming conventions are not similar to the ones used in the directory,then this policy could be configured to change the incoming request so that the directory understands the request. The incoming request is changed by mapping the attributes and the object classes of the request to attributes and object classes that can be comprehended by the directory server.
