Because these LDAP implementations have an entry (or subentry)
named "cn=schema" and OpenLDAP doesn't.  If you are after the
subschema controlling a particular entry, read that entries
subschemaSubentry to obtain the name of the subschema subentry.
Then read the subschema subentry by issuing a search with
scope base and filter (objectClass=subschema) and a list of
the operational attributes you want returned.

BTW, don't cross post!
