Extending schema files and OIDs in schema files. - openldap-software

30 Nov 2006


      I need to create few object classes and attribute types ..hence i created a
schema file of my own with all the entries...i have used the experimental
OIDs specified in openLDAP.org in my schema file which is
openLDAP experimental      *1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666*
Experimental attribute types *1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1*
Experimental objectclasses *1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.3*
Experimental syntax   *1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.2*
.......sample schema file is as below.........
attributetype( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.58
 NAME 'ssarole'
 DESC 'This attribute defines the role'
 SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.2.8
 MULTI-VALUE )
attributetype( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.59
 NAME 'ssaugtype'
 DESC 'This is Usergroup Type'
 SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.2.8
 SINGLE-VALUE )
attributetype( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.60
 NAME 'approverlimit'
 DESC 'Limit of the approver'
 SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.2.9
 SINGLE-VALUE )
...........
..............
objectclass( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.3.19
 NAME 'ssauser'
 DESC 'SSA User'
 SUP ssabase STRUCTURAL
 MAY( telephonenumber $ title $ mobile $ displayname $
  facsimiletelephonenumber $ preferredlanguage $ postaladdress $ c ) )
objectclass( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.3.20
 NAME 'supplier'
 DESC 'SSA Supplier'
 SUP ssauser STRUCTURAL
 MUST businesspartnerid )
objectclass( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.3.21
 NAME 'customer'
 DESC 'SSA Customer'
 SUP ssauser STRUCTURAL
 MUST businesspartnerid )
objectclass( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.3.22
 NAME 'ssaroleobj'
 DESC 'SSA Role'
 SUP top STRUCTURAL
 MUST cn
 MAY description )
...................
................
and then i have included my schema file into the slapd.conf.....
now i have tried to add my ldif file (using ldapmodify) ....which looks like
below(theres just one entry at present)..............
dn: uid=admin,ou=ssausers,dc=ssainternal,dc=net
changetype: add
objectClass: top
objectClass: ssauser
objectClass: ssantuser
objectclass: ssabase
uid: admin
cn: admin
userpassword: admin
ssarole: administrator
ssarole: superadministrator
sn: admin
preferredlanguage: en_US
ntuserdomainid: ssainternal
.....................
................
but i get an error saying
ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)
        additional info: objectClass: value #1 invalid per syntax
our schema file is actually not being recognized by the server i.e, though i
include it or not in the slapd.conf  its making no difference
:(...........and hence the object classes arnt being recognized...........
is it because of the OIDs i have used or is there any *real syntax*
*error*in the schema file............is it ok if i append my schema
details in any
of the openLDAP schema files(core.schema,,,,nis.schema....misc.schema
)???????
kindly let me know as to how to get that ldif entry added .
