I'm using OpenLDAP 2.3.34 on CentOS 4.4.

I'm trying to get some printer information stored in OpenLDAP and I'm having trouble getting the schema to work. I've obtained the ldap-printer.schema and ldap-slp.schema from http://www.kalamazoolinux.org/projects/awilliam/ldap.html.

The problem seems to be with ldap-slp.schema. There error that I get is as follows:

[:user@ldap-server:] /etc/init.d/ldap restart Checking config file /etc/openldap/slapd.conf: [FAILED] /usr/share/openldap/schema/ldap-slp.schema: line 38: Syntax not found: "1.3.6.1.4.1.6252.2.27.6.2.2" slaptest: bad configuration file!

The part of the schema where the error occurs has the following entry:

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.6252.2.27.6.1.4 NAME 'service-advert-service-type' DESC 'The service type of the service advertisement, including the "service:" prefix.' EQUALITY caseExactIA5Match SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.6252.2.27.6.2.2 SINGLE-VALUE )

...and the "syntax not found" error appears to reference an entry at the very top of the schema file:

( 1.3.6.1.4.1.6252.2.27.6.2.2 DESC 'SLP Service Type' )

The odd thing about this entry (to me) is that they don't have an attributetype or objectclass in the description.

Does anybody have a working printer schema configuration that they would be willing to share or know why mine is not working?

You'd have to ask the author of the Schema, most probably Adam Tauno Williams. He's a pretty hot OL authority and would most probably be happy to help, Googleing for that name will fill you in a little better.

Nope, as specifically stated on the page from which he retrieved the schema, they are provided AS IS: "I don't endorse the suitability of any of these files for any purpose. If you are going to install schema in your DSA then you need to **understand** what you are doing.".

I am not the author of most of the schemas on that page, they are simply collected. If the schema file is wrong it may contain an author in the comments, or it misrepresents the RFC, or the RFC is not viable; not impossible for something used as rarely as LDAP+SLP.
