Hi, a few thoughts from someone who is not a fedoraDS expert : - you created a new attribute type, but did not add it to the inetorgperson class definition. So the class itself is not modified. The way the LDIF files are named does not imply you modify a given class. Only the number has a meaning, and this represents the order of the files analysing at the server startup - I am not sure, but I believe that 99users.ldif should not be modified, because it represents a view of the directory schema, and is not a configuration file. Again, I am really not sure, I don't have a fedora instance at home and can't check this - standard classes should not be modified. You should create an auxiliary objectClass containing you custom attribute types, and have your users implement both inetOrgPerson and your auxiliary class. This can also be a way to determine if a given user is configured for our application or not (if it implements your aux class or not) To achieve this, you should create a file named, for example, 70kevin.ldif and put all your custom schema in it. Then start your server.
