1) Fix the application (ask your vendor for support/bugfix); or

2) Fix slapd:
  2a) change the definition of the name of the schema entry; or
  2b) proxy the server via back-ldap and suffixmassage cn=schema
      into cn=subschema; or
  2c) use the global overlays feature of slapd in HEAD to
      rename cn=schema into cn=subschema by means of the rwm overlay
