Hi Guys
I develop a simple schema and now I would like to suibstitute the actual schema for another one with same attributes and objectclass + another attibutes and obcejtclass .
See its a superseed of ther previus one...
I have already try using : ldapdelete -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// cn={6}squid,cn=schema,cn=config but received a: ldap_delete: Server is unwilling to perform (53)
Doing it by hand it worked ( stoping ldap, substituted cn=squid with new one and restarting ldap), but I know that is not correct...
How can I do it using ldapdelete ?
best regards

AFAIK you can't, the software doesn't support this yet. I believe there is a testing version that can do this but thats it. So far, the only way to completely replace a schema is to do it the nitty gritty way.
You could replace all the contained objects though with a ldapmodify.

You don't. Use ldapmodify and fix the definitions; don't delete them and create them again. This isn't Microsoft, deleting and starting over is not the way things are done.

You can't delete schema elements in MS AD either. This prevents most AD deployers to design custom schema when nessary. Instead already available attributes are misused a lot...

Frankly sometimes I really enjoy the good old days with deleting things and starting over. ;-)
With schema this can lead to some not so obvious issues with existing entries though. So best thing is to develop schema in a separate system and mark schema elements not used anymore with key-word OBSOLETE.
Ciao, Michael.
