RE: Issue importing CGP schema into LDAP (centos 7)

[John Cooter <jcooter@atlantech.net>]

The existing configuration, was created as follows:
Install ldap and related services
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.ldif
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/nis.ldif 
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.ldif
create test.conf which only contains a single line: include /etc/openldap/schema/cgp.schema
run slaptest statement, as listed below. Get error.
This slaptest statement should normally allow me to create the ldif to add to the schema, but it keeps failing. And I'm trying to figure out why and what I'm doing wrong.

If you have an existing dynamic configuration then you have to add complete schema via
LDAP. The include statements do not work with dynamic configuration.

With static configuration also note that the order of include statements does matter.

Ciao, Michael.
