It means that, when upgrading OpenLDAP, the previous configuration may not be compatible with the new OpenLDAP version.
False. Additions to the schema are always forward-compatible. Where we have renamed objectclasses, we have kept the old name as an alias. So old configs will continue to work.
Hello Howard,
thanks a lot for this confirmation.
What would be the best practice to update the cn=schema,cn=config entry after an upgrade? It seems this schema is only available when we migrate slapd.conf to cn=config.
The contents of the cn=schema,cn=config entry on disk are mostly irrelevant. That entry represents all the hardcoded schema in slapd, so it will always be generated in memory with slapd's current schema at runtime.
