Modifying AD Schema - LDIF File Question

Hi,
I have successfully extended AD schema to support Macs on a vinilla lab domain. I've used AD Schema Analyzer to create the LDIF file. My question is:
Can I use the same LDIF file (created from vinilla lab domain) to extend/ modify the production domain? or is the LDIF file custom to each domain that I would have to create a new LDIF file for production domain?
If I can use the same LDIF file created from the vinilla lab domain, why doesn't Apple just provide us with the LDIF file to import on the domain controller?
Any assistance or advice will be very much appreciated!
Thank you.

Since potentially each AD installation might have a different schema (stock schemas modified) it could be different.

  • Modify schema using ldif file and ldapmodify

    Suppose I want to create a new attribute and add it to a previously created object class; using an ldif file and ldapmpodify.
    It seems that my only option is an ldif file that looks like this:
    dn:cn=schema
    changetype: modify
    replace: objectclasses
    objectclasses: (...........MAY 'new attribute'...)
    This means that the author of the ldif file has to have prior knowledge of the schema, presumably by doing an ldapsearch.
    Am I missing anything?
    Basically there is a requirement here that developers be able to modify ldap schema on the test server by themselves. (without asking the ldap admin to do so). They currently can add fields to an SQL database with SQL tools so they want to do the same to LDAP.
    Any ideas ?

    That is correct, you'll have to add the attribute and then replace the objectclass. However, you may have to disable schema checking to modify the objectclass.
    Someone pointed out in another thread, you can give write access to the schema and config to another user via ACIs.
    Another thing to keep in mind, adding attributes/objectclasses via ldapmodify will put everything in 99user.ldif. This could get messy if you need to upgrade or rebuild an instance. I reccommend creating a 98myapp.ldif (or whatever you want) and putting your application specific objectclasses/attributes in there. This will require stopping/starting the server, but it will give you a good handle on what's been changed. In fact, you could require the developers to keep this file in RCS (or other version control) and then you could have a nice history of changes and the ability to go back if necessary.

  • I need to extend the schema for iPlanet Dir. 5.0 and add custom objectclasses and atributes. I do this by adding entries in the 99user.ldif file. Its not working. Any ideas?

    Hi
    I need to extend the schema for iPlanet Dir. 5.0 and I do not want to do so from the console. As per the documentation, I need to either add entries in the 99user.ldif file or define my own custom [00-99]myname.ldif file. I tried this but its not working.
    I have made the assumption that there is no explicit import step for the 'user defined' schema files (as it is for user data ldif files). I assume that on start (or on opening the console), I'd be able to see the new schema after the server has read the schema file.
    I have verified that entering new objectclasses and attributes from the console adds entries into the 99user.ldif file. So why is the reverse process not working. Can anybody throw some light on this? Also in case my assumptions are faulty, please let me know.
    I did not change the aci entries in the existing ldif file. Is any modification needed there? I was logged in as the Directory Manager during this testing process.
    regards
    Sikka ([email protected])

    Hi Sikka,
    The server reads its schema configuration on startup. If you manually modify the schema files while the server is running, it will not have any effect. You have to restart the server.
    The console adds the new schema elements over LDAP (you could do that as well, you only have to modify the cn=schema entry), so the server is aware of the changes immediately and thus restarting is not needed.
    I hope this helps.

  • How do I add an objectclass to existing LDAP server entry using an ldif file?

    I am trying to fix an LDAP server that has been operating with schema check off. I need to add an objectclass to the groups so that some attributes that have been added to the groups will be "legal." From the documentation, the changetype: modify will allow the changing/adding of attributes that are already a part of the schema objects that define the entry. It does not look like I can add an objectclass with the modify operation.
    If this is the case, then how do I add an objectclass to an existing entry? Using the GUI is not possible since the directory server in question is not being managed with an admin server. Please tell me that I do not have to delete the groups and import them again with an LDIF file that has the new objectclass added.

  • Custom schema separate file.

    Goal: To keep custom schema separate from schema patching that takes place in 99user.ldif ( JES patches often update schema here ).
    I've created a separate file, put the custom schema into it, stopped and started LDAP. The error log is giving me the following warning message:
    WARNING<4154> - DN - conn=-1 op=-1 msgId=-1 - DN Normalize Lazy normalization of schema
    Is there some sort of criteria my file is missing? File is owned by Directory Server user and group and has the same permissions as the other schema files. It contains the following elements / format:
    dn: schema
    objectclass: top
    objectclass: ldapSubentry
    objectclass: subschema
    attributeTypes:
    objectClasses:
    Additional question:
    Does the 99user.ldif file have to be the last file to be loaded into the schema or could you have something like 99www.ldif?

    I found the fix. I was missing the "cn=" in the DN. For some reason everytime I looked at it I just didn't see it was missing. TGIF.

  • DS6 dse.ldif file keeps getting deleted

    I am running Directory Server 6.3 on Solaris 10 U7. Last night I applied various system patches - none of them appear to the related to ldap or the directory server. Some times when I shutdown some thing seems to crash and the system does system dump. When I restart directory fails to start. The log shows
    Configuration error The default password storage scheme SSHA could not be read
    or was not found in the file /opt/ldap/slapd-server1/config/dse.ldif. It is mandatory.
    the dse.ldif file is blank. Fortunately the dse.ldif.startOK is OK. It looks like it had been created or modified during a clean shutdown yesterday evening.
    Any thoughts?
    thanks

    HI
    I have about 5 GB free on the rpool volume (i.e. /, /opt etc.)
    During the patching process (along with trying to get a tape drive working) I rebooted aout 3-4 times. At least twice, it looked like something panicked/crashed/dumped. My guess is that the directory server deleted the existing dse.ldif file, there was a system error, then directory server could not write the new file. it seems odd that at least twice that the crash occured immediately after the file was deleted. Would directory server crash if it can't write files? Server shutdown might take 5 min while various services are closed.
    When I stop the ds-myinstance svc with "svcadm" (without rebooting) it looks like it does update dse.ldif (at least time time stamp) , and creates and dse.ldif.bak file. On restarting the service cleanly, the dse.ldif.StartOK file is updated. So it looks like directory server itself is OK but either can't write files because of some other, system-related shutdown issue..
    What I may need to try is stopping directory server then shutting down the system and seeing if I get panic/coredumps/file syncs.
    Thanks

  • Problems publishing a web-access on Sharepoint: Error when modifying list schemes

    Good afternoon.
    I have an application built with an access database with several forms and web macros which is published on Sharepoint 2010. Through this application - not too big not too complex (ca. 10 tables / less than 2000 records at most) - I receive updates
    that are loaded into external applications, mainly excel worksheets, ms project files and so on.
    I have been going through the cycle of developing and publishing new versions of the application on the same site for more than a year; suddenly, from severeal weeks ago on, I started receiving the following error affecting random tables (not always the
    same) which crashes the compilation and publishing:
    "Error when modifying lists schemes. Changing name to "ID" field on list XXXX failed"
    And each time the list is different. And of course I am no trying at all to change the name of any ID field !????
    Any clue of what might be happening?
    Thank you

  • How to create an new administrator with ldif files

    I need another administrator as orcladmin for create an new tree in OID 11g which groups and right must this administrator have?

    Although you can create a superuser account that is able to manage entries, it won't be able to do so using ODSM until 11g Patchset 4.
    What this means is that you may use ldapbind/ldapmodify/ldapadd/ldapdelete commands with this new user to do the same operations that you would normally only do using the superuser, but that until a future patchset (currently slated for 11g patchset 4), this user will not be able to login to ODSM.
    Attempts to login to ODSM as this new user will fail with:
    Error:
    ODSM allows only super user to connect to OID.
    Connected user is not a super user.
    Identify the groups that the superuser is in, as follows:
    ldapsearch -p <OID_port> -h <OID_host> -D "cn=orcladmin" -w <pwd> -b "" -s sub "uniquemember=cn=orcladmin" dn
    Create a new user entry, to be used as the second superuser.
    Add this user as a uniquemember to all the same groups returned in. This can either be done manually, or via the ldapmodify/ldapadd command with an LDIF file with the following syntax:
    newadmin.ldif
    dn: cn=odisgroup,cn=odi,cn=oracle internet directory
    changetype: modify
    add: uniquemember
    uniquemember: cn=myadmin,cn=users,dc=myorg,dc=com
    dn: cn=Provisioning Admins,cn=changelog subscriber,cn=oracle internet directory
    changetype: modify
    add: uniquemember
    uniquemember: cn=myadmin,cn=users,dc=myorg,dc=com
    ldapadd -p <OID_port> -h <OID_host> -D "cn=orcladmin" -w <pwd> -f newadmin.ldif

  • How can i separate the ldif file.

    Hi,!!
    I have a some question.
    I was backup db use "db2ldif"
    but ldif file size is so big..(about 1.8GB)
    So i can't import the file because take a long time.
    I want to get the separated ldif file when i use "db2ldif" ,
    How can i do.???

    1) Why is 1.8 GB too big? Solaris 8 has large file support.
    2) Did you use ldif2db to import the file? How long did it take?
    3) How do you want it separated? By file size?
    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you want to be able to do db2ldif -SIZE, which would create many LDIF files with a maximum size of SIZE. Then you want to be able to import them all e.g.
    cat ldif1 ldif2 ... ldifN | ldif2db -s mysuffix -i -
    This would "solve" problem 1) (although it shouldn't be a problem). But this would not solve problem 2) because it would still take just as long.
    I'm not sure what your real problem is, if any.

  • IS BT CLOUD ALTERING THE "MODIFIED DATE" ON MY FIL...

    Hi
    I have BT Cloud 2GB Free running as both the downloaded "auto sync" software and also using the Chrome Browser Interface. I am on Windows XP.
    I only use Cloud to backup word / excel documents and family photos - basic things I just dont want to risk losing.
    I recently noticed something odd, when I sorted my BT Cloud View by "Date Modified" about twenty very 'old' files suddenly appeared at the top of the view - files I hadnt used in about 5 or 6 years.
    I definitely had not accessed these files yet when I went to look at them in "My Computer" and clicked on "Properties" I could see that the "Modified Date" had changed. In fact it seems that about a dozen or so files had been "modified" over night while my PC was left on in the next room. No other dates had changed on the files - it did not look like they had been "Re-Saved" I dont think since the original author had not changed.
    I started to monitor this and noticed about half a dozen files having their "modified dates" changed every day for the last three or four days. Its only Documents (Word Powerpoint Excel Text etc) that are being modified.
    And heres the thing - I ran a search on my computer of files modified in the last week and the only ones where I could not explain the change were files that are being backed up by "BT CLOUD" so its slightly possible there is a link. Of course this could be coincidence but I thought this might be a good initial avenue to explore since without BT Cloud's interface view of my files I would never have even noticed the problem in the first place.
    I'm pretty sure its not a Virus - I run my own Scanner every few days, its always up to date and I have Real Time Scanning enabled. I also ran a couple of online scans last night (Norton etc) and they found nothing.
    Its a recent development because I use Cloud every week and would have noticed before if things were changing.
    So a couple of questions really:
    Firstly has anyone else experienced this problem - I read somewhere that Some Virus Scanners can alter the Modified Date on your files unintentionally but the MS hotfix says this only happens in Vista/Win 7 I think and I am on XP. Could it be that when BT Cloud Scans the file it affects its modified date on your PC ?
    Secondly Could anyone else access my files in BT Cloud and modify them, and if so would that change to the 'online file' be represented back on my own PC when I "Synced" my backup
    Many thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

    I assume your raws are in DNG format? If xmp is in sidecar, it won't change raw file date.
    Anyway, saving xmp does not change any dates in Lightroom, so you should still be able to sort by edit time or capture time...
    But if you want control, you have to save manually instead of automatically.

  • How to create custom attributes & object classes through ldif files in OID

    Hi,
    I have to create 4 attributes and one object class(custom) in OID. I want to creae these attributes and object class through LDIF file.
    I tried creating an attribute through this command
    ldapadd -p 389 -h localhost -D cn=orcladmin -w password -f D:/newattr.ldif
    this ldif file contains inf. for creating a new attributes:
    dn: cn=subschemasubentry

    I am getting error: Object class violation
    Failed to find add in mandatory or optional attribute list.
    Please help to find where I am going wrong...
    Thanks.

    Hi Ajay,
    Thank you for the help. Now i am able to create both attributes and object classes in OID through Ldif files.
    I was getting constraint violation error because (I think) I was not giving proper naming convection for attributes and object classes. For OID, there are certain Ldap naming conventions. They are as follows:
    # X below is the enterprise number assigned by IANA
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.1 - assign to SNMP objects
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2 - assign to LDAP objects
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.1 - assign to LDAP syntaxes
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.2 - assign to LDAP matchingrules
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.3 - assign to LDAP attributes
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.4 - assign to LDAP objectclasses
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.5 - assign to LDAP supported features
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.9 - assign to LDAP protocol mechanisms
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.10 - assign to LDAP controls
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.11 - assign to LDAP extended operations
    By using these conventions for attributes and object class, I did got any error and they were created in OID.
    Thanks a zillion.

  • How to modify an existing xml file from java code.

    Hi
    I have worked on creating a new xml file from java code using xmlbeans.But if i try to modify an already existing file using java code I am unable to get errorfree xmlfile.
    For example if xml file(studlist.xml) is as below:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <StudentList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="D:\kchaitanya\xmlprac1\abc\Studlist.xsd">

    <Student>
              <Name>sham</Name>
              <Age>26</Age>
         </Student>
    </StudentList>
    Now suppose i have set name to victor using student.setName,
    and set age to 20 using setAge from javacode,
    the new xml file is as follows:

    As observed this is not a valid xml file.But how can i modify without any errors?

    I know it's an old post, but I found this while doing a google search for something else, and don't like to leave it un-aswered
    Just in case anyone has a similar problem... In this case the new elements have been appended outside of the root element
    What you need to do is first get the root element and then append the new children to that, there are several ways of getting the root element, which depend on what you want to do with the elements you get back here's a simple (incomplete) way.
    // gets the root element of the specified file (code not shown)
    Element rootElement= new SAXReader().read(file).getRootElement();Then just append the new elements as below (this is non-generic code and would need to be modified for your situation)
    // write a new student element
    Element student = document.createElement("Student");  // creates the new student
    rootElement.appendChild(student); // ***appends it to the root element***
    Element name = document.createElement("Name"); // creates the name element
    name.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Fred")); // adds the name text to the name element
    student.appendChild(name); // appends the name to the student
    Element age= document.createElement("Age"); // creates the age element
    age.appendChild(document.createTextNode("26")); // adds the age text to the age element
    student.appendChild(age); // appends the name to the studentThen flush ya buffers or whatever and write the file

    Thanks,

    I guess thats not possible in in Windows.
