/*
 * List of attributes
 */
protected $_attributes = array(
 //Internal
 'createTimestamp' => null,
 …

 //Required
 'cn' => array(),
    …

 * Note: The primary key must be an unique value
 */
protected $_primary_key = 'cn';
…
  9. Create an empty class extending the just created one with a shorter or more speakable name.
