Questions about Net::LDAP::Schema and OpenLDAP

[Nicolas R. <nic...@ha...>]

Hi,

I'm working on some piece of code to implement openLDAP in a mid-range
project.
I'd like to use the schema for testing entries but when I use it there
was no response.

I think I have to populate a Schema entry but when I do it the server
respond that there are no syntax verificators.

Can someone help me to populate the schema and manage-it ?
                                    Thanks

This is probably more a question you should ask the OpenLDAP guys, as it
sounds more of a server issue than a client (Net::LDAP) problem..

You might also want to cut and past the *precise* error when you talk to
them - "verificators" doesn't sound like a real word! :-)

Cheers,

Chris

The current version of openLDAP doesn't support LDAP v3 so you can't view
or update the schema dynamically. You must use the configuration files on
the server.

The current version of OpenLDAP, release 2.0, does support LDAPv3.
Publishing of subschema information is supported, but modification
is not.  You must use the configuration files on the server.

Sorry, Kurt hadn't realized you'd shipped 2.0 yet. Congrats, I know that's
been a long road :)

What you get back depends on the version of OpenLDAP that you
are running.

OpenLDAP 1.2.? anything is ldap version 2 which will not return schema 
data.

OpenLDAP 2 is ldap version 3 which should return schema data.

OpenLDAP 2.x relies on configuration based schema definitions.
You cannot change it via LDAP.

I suggest further questions regarding the use of OpenLDAP
Software be directed at the OpenLDAP-software mailing list.
See http://www.openldap.org/lists/ for details.
