LDAP schema

LDAP schema

[Mário Gamito]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a schema of my own.

For starters, I want a homeZIP.
I've created a tim.schema and included it in slapd.conf

I did it like this:
attributetype(1.3.6.1.4.1.7165.1.1.1.1 NAME 'homeZip'
    DESC 'Home Zip'
    SUBSTR caseExactIA5SubstringsMatch
    EQUALITY caseExactIA5Match
    SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 SINGLE-VALUE )

OpenLdap starts just fine, but when I insert a homeZip value, I get the
error:
"ldap_add: Undefined attribute type (17)
        additional info: homeZip: attribute type undefined"

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards,
--

Ahhh, that looks like the space set aside for "experimental purposes"
that you are using ... I did the same thing my first time around and
found that the slapd devs have it used all through the codebase for
various bits and pieces, and I was tripping all over it. Your definition
looks fine to me, you may want to get your own IANA number and use that
to develop your schema under ... there is much less chance (i.e. 0) that
you will find yourself in conflict with slapd internals or someone elses
schema.
