Instead of copying the file to your config/schema, could you try adding the schema using "ldapmodify" to your FDS? $ cd /opt/fedora-ds/shared/bin $ ./ldapmodify -h <host> -p <port> -D <directory manager> -w <password> -f /tmp/commURI.ldif.txt Note: I had to comment out the delete lines before running the command line: #delete: attributetypes #attributetypes: (0.0.8.350.1.1.1.1.1 NAME 'commURI' ) #- #delete: objectclasses #objectclasses: (0.0.8.350.1.1.1.2.1 NAME 'commURIObject' ) #- Once it's added, you'd see commURI and commURIObject in 99user.ldif: objectClasses: ( 0.0.8.350.1.1.1.2.1 NAME 'commURIObject' DESC 'object that co ntains the URI attribute type' SUP top AUXILIARY MAY commURI X-ORIGIN 'user defined' ) [...] attributeTypes: ( 0.0.8.350.1.1.1.1.1 NAME 'commURI' DESC 'Labeled URI format to point to the distinguished name of the commUniqueId' EQUALITY caseExactMa tch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 X-ORIGIN 'user defined' ) Thanks, --noriko Giles Chamberlin wrote: > I've got a hunch that you're probably right, given the error message and > all.
