This directory also contains other server instance-specific configuration files.

Schema configuration is also stored in LDIF format. The master schema directory is /etc/opt/ dirsrv/schema, and the instance-specific schema directory is /etc/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/schema.

The following table lists all the configuration files that are supplied with the Directory Server, including those for the schema of other compatible servers. Each file is preceded by a number which indicates the order in which they should be loaded (in ascending numerical, then alphabetical order).

Table 2-1 Directory Server LDIF configuration files

Configuration file name

Purpose

dse.ldif

Contains front-end Directory Specific Entries created by the directory at server

 

startup. These include the Root DSE ("") and the contents of cn=config and

 

cn=monitor (acis only).

 

 

00core.ldif

Contains only those schema definitions necessary for starting the server with the

 

bare minimum feature set (no user schema, no schema for any non-core features).

 

The rest of the schema used by users, features, and applications is found in

 

01common.ldif and the other schema files. Do not modify this file.

 

 

01common.ldif

Contains LDAPv3 standard operational schema, such as subschemaSubentry,

 

LDAPv3 standard user and organization schema defined in RFC 2256 (based on

 

X.520/X.521), inetOrgPerson and other widely-used attributes, and the operational

 

attributes used by Directory Server configuration. Modifying this file causes

 

interoperability problems. User-defined attributes should be added through the

 

Directory Server Console.

 

 

05rfc2247.ldif

Schema from RFC 2247 and related pilot schema, from "Using Domains in

 

LDAP/X500 Distinguished Names."

 

 

05rfc2927.ldif

Schema from RFC 2927, "MIME Directory Profile for LDAP Schema." Contains the

 

ldapSchemas operational attribute required for the attribute to show up in the

 

subschema subentry.

 

 

10presence.ldif

Legacy. Schema for instant messaging presence (online) information; the file lists

 

the default object classes with the allowed attributes that must be added to a user's

 

entry in order for instant-messaging presence information to be available for that

 

user.

 

 

10rfc2307.ldif

Schema from RFC 2307, "An Approach for Using LDAP as a Network Information

 

Service." This may be superseded by 10rfc2307bis, the new version of rfc2307,

 

when that schema becomes available.

 

 

20subscriber.ldif

Contains new schema elements and the Nortel subscriber interoperability

 

specification. Also contains the adminRole and memberOfattributes and

 

inetAdmin object class, previously stored in the 50ns-delegated-admin.ldif

 

file.

 

 

25java-object.ldif

Schema from RFC 2713, "Schema for Representing Java®Objects in an LDAP

 

Directory."

 

 

28pilot.ldif

Contains pilot directory schema from RFC 1274, which is no longer recommended

 

for new deployments. Future RFCs which succeed RFC 1274 may deprecate some

 

of or all 28pilot.ldif attribute types and classes.

 

 

30ns-common.ldif

Schema that contains objects classes and attributes common to the Directory Server

 

Console framework.

 

 

50ns-admin.ldif

Schema used by the Administration Server.

 

 

50ns-certificate.ldif

Schema for Dogtag Certificate System.

 

 

50ns-directory.ldif

Contains additional configuration schema used by Directory Server 4.16 and earlier

 

versions of the directory, which is no longer applicable to current releases of

 

Directory Server. This schema is required for replicating between Directory Server

 

4.16 and current releases.
