Hi all. I'm new using openldap. I googled all info related with it. I decided to extend a ldap schema. but it didn't work. The error message is the following:
adding new entry "cn=Gerald W. Cummings,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" ldap_add: Undefined attribute type (17) additional info: businessName: attribute type undefined
I had that error with the following files:
#new object schema
objectClass ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.100 NAME 'YoLinuxPerson' DESC 'X-Person' SUP inetOrgPerson STRUCTURAL MAY ( personStatus $ preferredEmail $ mail2 $ businessName $ xmozillanickname $ birthdate $ c ) )

#attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.95 NAME 'birthdate' SUP name )
Both files are inside of the schema folder with the same right that other files to run ldpap deamon without problem.
ldap.conf file
#Global section
##Include the minimum schema required.
include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
##Added to support the inetOrgPerson object. include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/inteorgperson.schema
#testing schemas include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/new-object.schema include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/new-attributes.schema
What did I wrong?
TIA

since you didn't provide businessName in your schema, openldap cannot know about it and thus says "attribute type undefined"
Beware: some more attributes of your objectclass YoLinuxPerson are not defined either.
Cheers,

He did add it to the schema file but...
attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.91 NAME 'preferredEmail' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{1024} ) attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.93 NAME 'businessName' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{1024} )
...it's probably not recognized by the config parser since it's indented which is interpreted as line continuation.
Ciao, Michael.

BTW: Not sure if you will be happy with defining additional mail address attributes instead of using separate contact entries.
But at least I'd define them as SUP mail so clients will at least find the entries when search for (mail=foo). They will still use 'mail' for addressing though.
Ciao, Michael.
