Description

If I add an entry with objectClass inetOrgPerson to the directory but do not include in the objectClass attribute values for the super objectClasses like organizationalPerson and person then (objectClass=person) will not return the entry when it is in scope. To fix this is simple. Instead of adding tests for lineage on search operations which would be a nightmare we should pay the price on the add operation. Basically an interceptor can check that the lineage of objectClasses is present within the objectClass attribute. If not then it can be injected into the entry before the add operation takes place.

I don't know if this is correct behavior but it cannot hurt.
