Ldap – where can I find list of builtin objectClasses and attributes for OpenLDAP

ldapopenldap

where can I find the list of built-in objectClasses and attributes the OpenLDAP server ships with?

Best Answer

I'm sure there's a set of core schema shipped as part of the source tarball, but its been a while since I needed to build it from source. On an RPM-based package system I usually see them in /etc/openldap/schema or /etc/ldap/schema.

Whether a particular schema file is active or not is governed by the slapd configuration.

How come my search doesn't work when I explicitly ask for namingContexts attribute?

What is not working? Do you recieve an error?

When there is a plus sign it returns all the attributes, regardless if namingContexts is added.

Using:

ldapsearch -x -H ldap://ldap.example.com -s base -b "" namingContexts

Returns:

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope baseObject
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: namingContexts 
#

#
dn:
namingContexts: o=example.com

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1

It is also listed using:

ldapsearch -x -H ldap://ldap.example.com -s base -b "" +

Returning:

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope baseObject
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: +

Ldap – openLdap for windows and phpldapadmin

I think the solution to the error message you are getting is pretty straight forward.

You need to create the slapd.conf file and put it in the directory corresponding to %SYSCONFDIR%. OpenLDAP for Windows should come shipped with example files. They may even be located in the directory mentionned previously under a slightly different name such as slapd.conf.example
