OK, so I've got the ldap backend set up to talk to a couple different servers, and it's working, but I can only see attributes that exist in slapd's local schema. any way to import the schemas of the backends? automatically would be great, manually would be ok...

I am most definitively not a ldap guru, but aren't the schemas in the new ldap being fed into the database as LDIFs? If so I would think they would be passed around.
In the old slapd.conf days I think you could rsync the directories where the schemas live in all servers so they all matched or something like that.

Hi,
yes you're right. You simply have to replicate them (cn=schema,cn=config) with syncrepl or better replicate the complete conf.d (cn=config) to all nodes.
for example, as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html
"LDAP replication..."
Bye.

Thanks. Unfortunately, the backend servers aren't running OpenLDAP, so syncrepl is out. I can still pull down their schemas and merge them in, sure. But since I'm basically just using slapd to federate these other servers, I was sort of hoping there was a more transparent option that just passed things through without requiring a local schema match.
Thanks for the replies.
