LDAP Schema

LDAP Schema

The LDAP schema used by DBIS is available in the installation top-level ldif directory, and may also be viewed in the source code browser.

There are three schema files available, and one of these will need to be loaded into your LDAP directory server. Refer to your directory server administration guide for details on how to do this.

The schema file to load depends on what schema your LDAP directory already has available, as it will not allow object classes or attributes to be defined that already exist. As some of the classes and attributes that DBIS uses are defined by RFC2307, it is likely your directory server has some of them already. If there is not a schema file below that suits your needs exactly, start with dbis.schema and comment out the object classes and attributes already found in your directory server configuration.

Filename	Description
dbis.schema	Full DBIS schema including object classes and attributes defined by RFC2307.
dbis-openldap.schema	DBIS schema suitable for loading into OpenLDAP.
dbis-openldap-2307.schema	DBIS schema suitable for loading into OpenLDAP when the RFC2307 schema is also enabled.

Once the schema is loaded, return to [Configuring DBIS] for the next steps in setting up a new installation.
