I know how to import schemas with cn=config. That was never a question. I was just complaining because it's a tedious process and I believe that it shouldn't be like this.
I also think that cn=config should not be so complicated. And I've looked into supporting this schema in web2ldap.
Hi Michael, are you also talking about schema or something else here? So far this thread hasn't shown much that's complicated about the schema. True, we haven't touched on operational attributes and other parts of the schema compiled into slapd/loadable modules but my guess that's not what you're talking about either since they are no different from slapd.conf.
For now I'm just happy that static slapd.conf is still supported. It's still the most DevOps-friendly way to configure OpenLDAP.
We're not the outliers here, every major DB engine does the same thing. PostgreSQL and MySQL/MariaDB don't have an option to have a plain text file driving large parts of their configuration at all. How come people cope with that just fine and they can't do the same with OpenLDAP?
