Default PingDirectory server schema files

The PingDirectory server stores its schema as a set of LDIF files for the server instance in the <server-root>/config/schema directory. The PingDirectory server reads the schema files in alphanumeric order at startup in the following order:

You should name custom schema files so that they are loaded in last. For example, custom schema elements could be saved in a file labeled 99-user.ldif that loads after the default schema files are read at startup.

The PingDirectory server then uses the schema definitions to determine any violations that might occur during add, modify, or import requests. Clients applications check the schema (matching rule definitions) to determine the assertion value algorithm used in comparison or search operations.

The default set of schema files are present at installation and should not be modified. Modifying the default schema files could result in an inoperable server.

The schema files have the following descriptions.
