samba - Sep 2020 - Schema extension with openldap format

Hi all,

I want to extend the samba schema for freeradius, they unfortunately do
not provide the schema in ldif format anymore. Do you know if samba does
accept OpenLDAP formatted schema or if I have to convert it?


Best regards

No, Samba AD will not accept a schema, but it does provide 
'oLschema2ldif' which should convert a schema to an ldif as required by 
AD. I would first add the ldif to a test DC, remember extending the AD 
schema is a one way system, you can add an ldif, but you can never 
remove it.

Hi rowland,

thank you for confirming that, You might consider editing the
documentation to reflect that. The comparison with the openldap format
is for me confusing
