Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) has integrated the objectClass eduPerson in the university LDAP directory server. This page describes the way AUTh defines and makes use of the eduPersonAffiliation attribute.

The eduPersonAffiliation attribute specifies the person’s relationship to the University in broad categories.

Note: These categories MAY include people who once had an “active” relationship with the University and have either retired, departed or graduated. In order to aquire a better “status” of a person’s relationship with the University, there are more specific attributes available in the LDAP directory server.

The main affiliation categories are available here.

The eduPersonPrimaryAffiliation attribute specifies the person’s PRIMARY relationship to the university.
