That's correct. But in translucent overlay's documentation, there is:

"Note: The Translucent Proxy overlay will disable schema checking in the local database, so that an entry consisting of overlay attributes need not adhere to the complete schema."

But it seems that schema checking is still in affect when doing searches. Is there a way to disable local schema checking altogether? Or do I have to build some dummy schema so that OpenLDAP is aware about objectClasses I want to search for?
