Editing a Online Schema Editor Project
Hi all,
Firstly great project. Amazing effort. Been using it for a long time now.
The Setup:
-ubuntu : 2.6.18-028stab067.4-ent #1 SMP Thu Jan 14 22:32:05 MSK 2010
i686 GNU/Linux
-OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.15 (Mar 19 2009 10:08:25)
-apacheds 1.5.3.v20100330 in eclipse galileo.
My initial steps: We have created a schema and are using it fine with
our applications and have imported the schema(via schema editor) from
the online server and can now see the complete attribute and objectclass
list including all the custom ones we have added.
My problem: Once i have added a new attribute via the GUI in
apacheds/eclipse it is saved and appears in the schema list but not in
the actual schema browser. Therefore it can't be used.
My question: How do we load/export/import schema changes into the server
after we have edited/added them via the schema editor GUI?
Cheers,
Wayne

Thanks so much for your reply Emmanuel - I figured as much. Currently it
can be done in a round about way using apacheds schema editor(source
code view) and removing line breaks and tabs and pasting into the ldif
schema as new olc types - which is good enough at the moment.
For very big custom applications this would be a handy feature although
its not a much desired one - truth be that editing the ldifs with vi
isnt hard anyway if need be.
Appreciate the response and only today did i download nextstudio - nice
that it comes with a ldap server to test in for windows machines. Very
handy indeed.
Cheers,
Wayne

Good catch, however if those constants are static and final, then they
should be upercased.
Like :
public static final boolean TOP_DOWN = true;
I will fix that.--

I assume you are talking about Apache Directory *Studio* here.

Because the modification you have done are local to Studio, they are not
stored in any way into OpenLDAP.

You can export the full schema from Studio to an OpenLDAP schema file :
- select the schema project you have created
- right click -> export -> Schema project
- type in the directory you want this schema to be exported to
that's it. You now have a <YourSchema>.schema file present on your disk.
Copy this file in the appropriate OpenLDAP space and modify the openLdap
configuration file (slapd.conf) to add this file into the list of Schema
it handles, then restart OpenLdap.
We currently don't support direct modifications in the OpenLDAP schema,
we are thinking about addng such a possibility in the near future.
Hope it helps.
