RE: cn=config

["Antonio Alonso" <antonio.alonso@ericsson.com>]

Hi !

   What about updating the schema (e.g. adding a new attributeType)
though
an ldapmodify operation (e.g. towards the
cn={2}myschema,cn=schema,cn=config"
entry)?

   Is it needed (in that case) to include the "right" ordering number
(to the
attributeType being defined)?

Thanks in advance

BR / Antonio

As stated in the Admin Guide

The ordering numbers do not need to be provided; they will be generated
automatically.
