Good Afternoon,

I am in the process of building an LDAP schema which has a number of attributes which will be constrained to specific values. I have run into an issue where slaptest will build the ldif file without syntax errors, but when slapd starts up it can't find the X-ENUM syntax defined in the same file.

# service slapd start

Checking configuration files for slapd: [FAILED]

olcAttributeTypes: value #0 olcAttributeTypes: Syntax not found: "1.3.6.1.4.1.39235.2.3.500"

config error processing cn={5}test,cn=schema,cn=config: olcAttributeTypes: Syntax not found: "1.3.6.1.4.1.39235.2.3.500"

slaptest: bad configuration file!

[root@DNEAA18S2 openldap]# slapd -V

@(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.23 (Jan 28 2014 09:30:02) $

mockbuild@x86-022.build.eng.bos.redhat.com:/builddir/build/BUILD/openldap-2.4.23/openldap-2.4.23/build-servers/servers/slapd

I have simplified the problem to a single syntax, attribute and object class. The .schema file and resulting ldif are attached.

Is this a legitimate issue to report, or have I made some subtle syntax / contextual error that is preventing the attribute from finding the syntax?

Cordially,
