[OT] LDAP schema design guides

[<Sim...@wi...>]

This is off topic I know, but as I'll be doing it with Net::LDAP.....

      I have been using Net::LDAP very successfully to query and manage a Novell
      NDS directory but we're now hitting limitations of the existing schema
      (need to store new attributes like employment status). Modifying a schema
      seems very arcane and is beyond my knowledge.

      Can anyone recommend references or tutorials about designing LDAP schemas,
      best practice and so-on. The few resources I have found seem to be
      technical guides to setting up server software, not the design of the
      schema itself.

      Many thanks,
