newbie question, adding a new ldap schema....
looking at the new apacheDS doc, I find these statements in the
Configuraiton API section:
{{StartupConfiguration}}
This instruction starts up the ApacheDS if it is not started. Here's
the list of known properties:
* {{bootstrapSchemas}} - a set of {{BootstrapSchema}} s which are
loaded at the first time ApacheDS starts up (Default: <all default
schemas>)
but I don't see any mention of how to add additional schema, once you
have a server up and running (eg eduPerson, eduCourse, etc). Is this
possible?
thanks....

under "StartupConfiguration".... I see this:

this was the only place I saw any mention/implication of being able
to add or change the schema that were being used....

Hmmm where do you see this ... if there is misdocumented items then we
need to fix that. Sorry for the confusiosn.

Yes of course. Just add the schema to the schema section of the
configuration XML file. Look at server.xml for an example. Shutdown,
add schema, and restart ... you should see the new schema elements
available under cn=schema.
Cheers,
Alex

Is that true?

Adding schema during runtime is not possible yet. Right now schema must
be added to the configuration then the server restarted. We will
rectify this problem once we revamp the schema subsystem to use subentries.
Sorry about the inconvenience.
