Hi listers,
[cvs@myhost ~]$ rpm -q openldap-servers openldap-servers-2.3.39-1.fc8 [cvs@myhost ~]$
As far as i have understood, the openldap config is moving towards beeing fully LDAP integrated, i.e. you will change the config using ldapmodify, you will add to the config using ldapadd, you will view the config using ldapsearch.
That created me a problem: i had to add a schema. what i did: i created a new olcInclude object into cn=config. This object, however, was not stable, it got lost at the next slapd restart.
When i consulted this discussion list, i was informed that adding a new olcInclude object is not the correct way to add a new schema. But i was not informed on how the intention is to do it.
I imagine that another way would be to convert the schema from the schema file manually/directly into olcAtttributeTypes, olcObjectClasses, olcObjectIdentifier and insert them into the cn=schema,cn=config. This, however, would be a very error prone action.
Also, the handling of the access rights in the future is far from clear.
When i consulted the openldap docu, i found put me in front of a fait-accompli: that is how it is, help yourself.
could someone shed some light on the evolution process from file-based config into LDAP-based config?
thanks in advance.
