[jira] [Created] (DIRSTUDIO-831) Creating and using Custom Object
Class in my Apache Directory Studio
Karthik Samudram Jayaraman created DIRSTUDIO-831:
----------------------------------------------------
Summary: Creating and using Custom Object Class in my Apache Directory Studio
Key: DIRSTUDIO-831
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-831
Project: Directory Studio
Issue Type: Question
Components: studio-ldifeditor
Affects Versions: 1.5.3
Environment: I am running Directory Studio Version: 1.5.3.v20100330 on Windows 7. I am not using the Apache DS.
Reporter: Karthik Samudram Jayaraman
Priority: Blocker
Disclaimer: I am new to the world of LDAP authentication and am learning as I go.
I am in need of a custom object class where I can add custom attributes that is not available with inetorgperson. The current situation is that I think I have created a custom schema with the object class I need, but, I am still unable to choose this custom object class when I am creating a new entry.
After a lot of trying and retrying, reading through multiple sites and suggestions, I finally created a new schema that looks very much like inetorgperson. I arrived here by following the steps below:
1) In my LDAP Browser, under ou=schema, I navigate to cn=inetorgperson
2) Right click on it -> Export -> LDIF Export.
3) I use this as the template and change all occurrences of "inetorgperson" to my custom name.
4) Towards the end of the LDIF file, I changed the m-supObjectClass to point to inetorgperson
5) I then modify the LDIF file to add the custom attributes.
6) I then import this modified LDIF file.
7) I can now see my cn=instinetorgperson right under the cn=inetorgperson.
The attributes seems to be similar.
But, I am still unable to choose this custom object class when I am creating a new entry.
What other information would you need to help me out here.
Thanks in advance

---------------------------------------------
" I am not using the Apache DS." this is what you said in your environment :)
Ok, so you create an ApacheDS instance, which is good.
There is one extra step needed : when you select "create new entry", you will have a list of the possible ObjectClass, and your ObjectClass is not present in this list. Just click on the "Reload Schema" icon on the right of the input box, your ObjectClass should now appears.
Ok, not very intuitive...

Emmanuel,
I have also uploaded an image hoping that it might throw some perspective of what I am looking at. Let me know if you need some other visual aid to explain what I am doing here.

------------------------------------------------------
Emmanuel,
Appreciate the prompt reply. I am using the Apache directory Studio and have created a server within that. I am not using any other external LDAP server. So, Apache Directory Studio is where I am having problems with.
Am I making sense :) ? Or is my lack of experience in LDAP terminology throwing you off?

Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSTUDIO-831:
---------------------------------------------
First thing you have to know : the schema is *not* standardized across LDAP servers : each one of them have their one specific format, and we don't support anything but ApacheDS in Studio (at least, atm).
So bottom line, whatever you have done will work on ApacheDS, but not on your LDAP server.
Btw, which LDAP server are you using ?

Emmanuel,
It worked!!!! OMG. I was racking my brains and testing my Googling skills for almost a week before I posted here. I guess I should have posted this earlier. Thanks so much for your help. Let me go on with my setup and will make sure I log an issue with you guys first :).
Once again, appreciate the prompt help.
