Think carefully about the format you want to use. There are several
definitions for such attributes. I'm using YYYY-MM-DD today since it's
ISO 8601 and more human-readable.
While looking at these two and the Schema Specification in the
handbook
I have gotten rather confused. Could I just drop one of these into file
named local.schema (for example) add that path to the schema section of
the slapd.conf and use it or is there more to it?
Yes. You also have to define a new object class to hold this attribute
or extend an existing custom object class.
