I'm tinkering with new schema as well as including the standard eduPerson and was hoping to avoid having to strip out all the data and then repopulate each time I make a minor change to the schema. I'm populating it from a large Active Directory by script, which already has quite a long run time. But I don't have any users in the directory at all yet, which is why I was a bit surprised at the behaviour. I thought at least adding new users with a new schema wouldn't be a problem. I guess if that is out the next thing I need to check is what happens if I add a new 'may' field to an existing schema - will it force me to drop all the old data to install that, too. > The way I understand it, the schema only makes it possible for an > ldap server to allow the extra feature, but its the user (object) that > has its necessary objectclasses assigned to it, for each objectclass, > you can assign the values and attributes.
