Customizing the OpenLDAP Schema

The schema that slapd uses may be extended to support additional

syntaxes, matching rules, attribute types, and object classes. In the

case of the B051-000, the B051-000 User class and the permission

attribute are extended to define a new schema. The extended schema

file used to authenticate and authorize users logging in to the B051-

000 is shown in the figure, below:

An LDAP directory stores information in a tree structure known

as the Directory Information Tree (DIT). The nodes in the tree are

directory entries, and each entry contains information in attribute-

value form. An example of the LDAP directory tree for the B051-000

is shown in the figure, below:

The LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) is used to represent

LDAP entries in a simple text format (please refer to RFC 2849). The

figure below illustrates an LDIF file that creates the DIT for the B051-

000 directory tree (shown in the figure, above).

The following figure illustrates an LDIF file that defines the

OpenLDAP group for the B051-000.
