7.3 Product PingDirectory
-
Create an LDIF file with the new attribute extensions using a text
editor.
dn: cn=schema objectClass: top objectClass: ldapSubentry objectClass: subschema attributeTypes: ( contractorStatus-OID NAME 'contractorStatus' EQUALITY booleanMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7 SINGLE-VALUE USAGE userApplications X-ORIGIN 'Directory Server Example' ) attributeTypes: ( contractorAgency-OID NAME 'contractorAgency' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.44{256} SINGLE-VALUE USAGE userApplications X-ORIGIN 'PingDirectory Server Example' )
-
In the same LDIF file, add a new object class definition after the attribute
types. In this example, create an auxiliary object class,
contractor
, that alone cannot be used as an entry. The object class will be used to add supplemental information to theinetOrgPerson
structural object class. The attributes are all optional for the new object class.objectClasses: ( contractor-OID NAME 'contractor' DESC 'Contractor status information' SUP top AUXILIARY MAY ( contractorStatus $ contractorAgency ) X-ORIGIN 'PingDirectory Server Example' )
- Save the file as 99-auxobjclass.ldif. and place it in the <server-root>/config/schema directory.
-
At this stage, the schema extensions are not loaded into the Directory Server yet. You have four options to
load them:
-
Create a task that loads the new extensions into the schema. We create a task labelled with the ID "add-schema-99-auxobjclass" and add it using ldapmodify. The server does not need to be restarted using this method.
dn: ds-task-id=add-schema-99-auxobjclass,cn=Scheduled Tasks,cn=tasks objectClass: top objectClass: ds-task objectClass: ds-task-add-schema-file ds-task-id: add-schema-99-auxobjclass ds-task-class-name: com.unboundid.directory.server.tasks.AddSchemaFileTask ds-task-schema-file-name: 99-auxobjclass.ldif
- Import the schema file using the Administrative Console Schema Editor. You do not need to restart the server when using this method.
- Place the 99-auxobjclass.ldif file in the <server-root>/config/schema directory and restart the Directory Server. The schema file is read at startup.
- Add the schema file using load-ldap-schema-file.
You do not need to restart the server when using this method.
$ bin/load-ldap-schema-file --schemaFile config/schema 99-auxobjclass.ldif

-
Verify the addition by displaying the attribute using
ldapsearch.
$ bin/ldapsearch --baseDN dc=example,dc=com "(uid=user.9)" contractorStatus
dn: uid=user.9,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com contractorStatus: TRUE
