HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 configuration, command, and file reference
This directory also contains other server instance-specific configuration files.
Schema configuration is also stored in LDIF format. The master schema directory is /etc/opt/
dirsrv/schema, and the instance-specific schema directory is
/etc/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/schema.
The following table lists all the configuration files that are supplied with the Directory Server,
including those for the schema of other compatible servers. Each file is preceded by a number
which indicates the order in which they should be loaded (in ascending numerical, then
alphabetical order).
Table 2-1 Directory Server LDIF configuration files
PurposeConfiguration file name
Contains front-end Directory Specific Entries created by the directory at server
startup. These include the Root DSE ("") and the contents of cn=config and
cn=monitor (acis only).
dse.ldif
Contains only those schema definitions necessary for starting the server with the
bare minimum feature set (no user schema, no schema for any non-core features).
The rest of the schema used by users, features, and applications is found in
01common.ldif and the other schema files. Do not modify this file.
00core.ldif
Contains LDAPv3 standard operational schema, such as subschemaSubentry,
LDAPv3 standard user and organization schema defined in RFC 2256 (based on
X.520/X.521), inetOrgPerson and other widely-used attributes, and the operational
attributes used by Directory Server configuration. Modifying this file causes
interoperability problems. User-defined attributes should be added through the
Directory Server Console.
01common.ldif
Schema from RFC 2247 and related pilot schema, from "Using Domains in
LDAP/X500 Distinguished Names."
05rfc2247.ldif
Schema from RFC 2927, "MIME Directory Profile for LDAP Schema." Contains the
ldapSchemas operational attribute required for the attribute to show up in the
subschema subentry.
05rfc2927.ldif
Legacy. Schema for instant messaging presence (online) information; the file lists
the default object classes with the allowed attributes that must be added to a user's
entry in order for instant-messaging presence information to be available for that
user.
10presence.ldif
Schema from RFC 2307, "An Approach for Using LDAP as a Network Information
Service." This may be superseded by 10rfc2307bis, the new version of rfc2307,
when that schema becomes available.
10rfc2307.ldif
Contains new schema elements and the Nortel subscriber interoperability
specification. Also contains the adminRole and memberOfattributes and
inetAdmin object class, previously stored in the 50ns-delegated-admin.ldif
file.
20subscriber.ldif
Schema from RFC 2713, "Schema for Representing Java®Objects in an LDAP
Directory."
25java-object.ldif
Contains pilot directory schema from RFC 1274, which is no longer recommended
for new deployments. Future RFCs which succeed RFC 1274 may deprecate some
of or all 28pilot.ldif attribute types and classes.
28pilot.ldif
Schema that contains objects classes and attributes common to the Directory Server
Console framework.
30ns-common.ldif
Schema used by the Administration Server.
50ns-admin.ldif
Schema for Dogtag Certificate System.
50ns-certificate.ldif
Contains additional configuration schema used by Directory Server 4.16 and earlier
versions of the directory, which is no longer applicable to current releases of
Directory Server. This schema is required for replicating between Directory Server
4.16 and current releases.
