RE: new schema

[Natarajan Krishnan <NKrishnan@softricity.com>]

Hi Uma,
        Firstly your schema file is not proper. An objectclass does not have
a syntax. Besides you need to mention whether an objectClass is structural
or auxiliary. A proper attribute/objectclass in ASN1 syntax follows:

attributetype(x.x.x.x NAME 'collectivehostName'
       SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26
       EQUALITY caseExactMatch
       )

objectclass(x.x.x.x NAME 'collectiveserverHostName'
       SUP   'top'
	 STRUCTURAL
       MUST collectivehostName
       )

The schema file should be in slapd.conf after the standard schema files are
put up.

e.g.


# $OpenLDAP: pkg/ldap/servers/slapd/slapd.conf,v 1.8.8.4 2000/08/26 17:06:18
kurt Exp $
#
# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.
# This file should NOT be world readable.
#
include		/usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include		/my/Directory/Path/myorgschema1.schema
include		/my/Directory/Path/myorgschema2.schema

# Define global ACLs to disable default read access.

# Do not enable referrals until AFTER you have a working directory
etc. etc.

Yes you can use the attribute names and classes from both (and any other
that you add)schema files in your LDIF file.

Hope this helps,
Natarajan

Subject: new schema




I am creating a new Schema file for hardware inventory.

This is my initial schema file:

attributetype(x.x.x.x NAME 'collectivehostName'
       SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26
       EQUALITY caseExactMatch
       )

objectclass(x.x.x.x NAME 'collectiveserverHostName'
       SYNTAX   'top'
       MUST collectivehostName
       )

I am very confused on how to add this to the slapd.conf file and what format

the ldif file should be created. I am trying to include hostnames in the 
file. Also, if I have included the core.schema file and my schema file can I

use the attributes from both files in my custmoized ldif file for hostname.

Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Uma
