Hi!
Is it possible to use references for attributeTypes/objectClasses
definitions in the 389DS schemas ?
Like: schacAttributeType:1 instead of 1.3.6.1.4.1.25178.1.2.1
Of course the OID for schacAttributeType should be defined beforehand.
Please read the text bellow for a better explanation.
I was trying to convert the OpenLDAP SCHAC schema into a 389DS schema by
using the ol2rhds.pl script available on http://directory.fedoraproject.org
The converted file did not exactly want to play ball so it had to be
modified.
The OpenLDAP version of the schema uses references instead of numbers
for OIDs:
* objectIdentifier TERENA 1.3.6.1.4.1.25178
* objectIdentifier schac TERENA:1
* objectIdentifier schacObjectClass schac:1
* objectIdentifier schacAttributeType schac:2
The script that converted the schema did not take the references into
account
so I ended up with attribute names like:
<snip>
attributeTypes: (
schacAttributeType:1
NAME ''schacMotherTongue''
</snip>
When trying to load the schema into the 389DS it complained:
<snip>
[25/Nov/2009:14:48:13 +0100] schemareload - Schema reload task starts
(schema dir: default) ...
[25/Nov/2009:14:48:15 +0100] dse - The entry cn=schema in file
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-import/schema/91schac.ldif is invalid, error code 21
(Invalid syntax) - attribute type schacMotherTongue The OID
"schacMotherTongue:1" must begin and end with a digit, or be
"schacMotherTongue-oid"
[25/Nov/2009:14:48:15 +0100] schema_reload - schema file validation failed
[25/Nov/2009:14:48:15 +0100] schemareload - Schema validation failed.
</snip>
After I manually replaced the references with OIDs it worked. OK, I also
had to modify a couple of attribute syntax definitions :)
