Hello,

I wrote a test schema file adding one attribute - ipPhone.

I found some "tutorials" explaining how to write a schema file then convert it into LDIF using slaptest(8). The authors of these tutorials [found by me] all manually edit slaptest(8)-generated LDIF files, removing structuralObjectClass, entryUUID, creatorsName, createTimestamp, entryCSN, modifiersName and modifyTimestamp. Is this the recommended way of adding a schema?

If you've correctly written a schema file in LDIF format, you can just ldapadd it. The server will take care of adding the operational attributes for you if you do that.
