Re: Can I get objectclass schema info from the API?

[Kevin McCarthy <openldap@kogz.com>]

Do this:

Bind as your system LDAP account

do this query:

search base  "cn=subschema"
search scope "base"
search attributes objectClasses, attributeTypes, ldapSyntaxes

You'll need to parse the ASN.1-ish output, but the info is there.
