Abstract
Documentation:
The activedirectory_object element is used by an active directory test to define those objects to evaluated based on a specified state. Each object extends the standard ObjectType as definied in the oval-definitions-schema and one should refer to the ObjectType description for more information. The common set element allows complex objects to be created using filters and set logic. Again, please refer to the description of the set element in the oval-definitions-schema. An active directory object consists of three pieces of information, a naming context, a relative distinguished name, and an attribute. Each piece helps identify a specific active directory entry.

It contains all the parts of the object's distinguished name except those outlined by the naming context. If the nillable attribute is set to true, then the object being specified is the higher level naming context. In this case, the relative_dn element should not be collected or used in analysis. Setting nil equal to true is different than using a .* pattern match, which says to collect every relative dn under a given naming context. Note that when nil is used for the relative dn element, the attribute element should also be nilled.</xsd:documentation>
