Could you please elaborate on what "does not show any attributes from OrginizationalPerson or Person" really means? Indeed OpenLDAP does not automagically add the superior object classes to attribute 'objectClass'.

But if adding the entry above worked then inheritance worked correctly (e.g. because of 'cn' and 'sn') and there is no bug.

Without seeing more of your config (e.g. ACLs) and more client details I cannot see any reason why it's not working in your case.

Do you have any ACLs with attrs=@person or similar?

Ciao, Michael.

it adds fine, however does not show any attributes from OrginizationalPerson or Person. I checked in the slapd.d schema files and all the objectClasses have the correct SUP records. My understanding from the docs at http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/apa/ldif-objects.html was that openldap will include the inherited items automatically. I’m running slapd 2.4.39 with the slapd.d config style. Is there an additional option I need to configure?

[...]

attribute types cn and sn are required by object class person, uid and mail are requested by object class inetOrgPerson. What else do you expect?

It looks like it is working as expected, the tool I was using (jxplorer) wasn’t showing the other attributes, however if I add them to an ldif file it does work with ldapadd. After reading some more of the docs, it looks like jxplorer retrieves the list of oc’s from ldap, which if only one was specified only returns one. Thats why I wasn’t seeing the additional attributes in it. The issue originally rose because our devs were using attributes like drink that were not part of inetorgperson, and my attempt to recreate was flawed. Sorry about that, but thank you for the quick response.

On a related note, is there a good guide for adding object classes to an OLC configuration? I’m running into some issues, but am sure I’m doing it completely wrong.
