FDS uses an LDIF object for the schema files: dn: cn=schema objectClasses: ... objectClasses: ... attributeTypes: ... attributeTypes: ... I use this type of nice format; I even wrote a perl program to reformat long attribute values to the below format, for readability: # # foo schema # # dn: cn=schema # ################################ # attributes ################################ # attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 NAME 'xxx' DESC 'xxx' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 SINGLE-VALUE ) # ################################ # attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1.1.1.1.1.2 NAME 'xxy' DESC 'xxy' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 SINGLE-VALUE ) # ################################ # attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1.1.1.1.1.3 NAME 'xxz' DESC 'xxz' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 SINGLE-VALUE ) # ################################ # object classes ################################ # objectClasses: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1.1.1.1.2.1 NAME 'xyzclass' SUP top MUST ( cn $ xxx ) MAY ( description $ xxy $ xxz ) ) # # # EOF Mike -- LDAP Directory Consulting - http://www.netauth.com
