Hi:

We have a business case, wherein we need to add User Defined ObjectClasses and Attributes to OpenLDAP programmatically/dynamically using Java.

We have an application which was written in Java uses Netscape LDAP SDK (V3 Supported) to add ObjectClasses and Attributes to Sun One Directory Server. Now we need to extend our application to support OpenLDAP.

Our assumption was, Since Netscape LDAP SDK supports V3 Protocol the application should seamlessly work with any Directory Server which supports V3 Protocol (Correct me if I am wrong); but our applications is failing to create User Defined ObjectClasses and Attributes to OpenLDAP. We have also tried creating the ObjectClasses and Attributes using LDIF files and got the same error.

Your assumption was not correct, there is no requirement in RFC-4511 and RFC4512

The Error what we have got:

ldap_modify: Server is unwilling to perform (53)

additional info: modification of subschema subentry not supported

Sample LDIF file what we had run:

version:1

#Usage Eg: ldapmodify.exe -v -F -h localhost -p 389 -x -D "cn=Directory manager,dc=company,dc=net" -w password123 -f D: \sample.ldif

# user define attributes

dn: cn=schema

[...]

With OpenLDAP schemas are written to cn=schema,cn=config, and the DN contains a ordering quantifier and the schema name, like dn: cn={0}core see http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/slapdconf2.html Please note that X-ORDERED 'VALUES' syntax is used to create odering quantifiers.
