2.3.3.2 ad:container-hierarchy-parent

The synthetic attribute ad:container-hierarchy-parent contains the object reference property (as described in section 2.3.1) of the directory object that is the object's parent in the directory tree. If the directory object has no parent (that is, if it is the root of its naming context), this attribute is omitted from the object's XML view.<3> Values of this attribute have xsi:type equal to "xsd:string".

This attribute can be modified. When this attribute is modified, the object's location in the directory is made consistent with the value of this attribute.

The following is an example of the ad:container-hierarchy-parent synthetic attribute as it would be found in the XML view of a directory object. In this example, the object reference property is in the GUID form.

 <ad:container-hierarchy-parent>
     <ad:value xsi:type="xsd:string">

     </ad:value>
 </ad:container-hierarchy-parent>
