LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.00 Administrator's Guide

If you choose to use the ldapschema tool with the directory server other than HP-UX
Directory Server or Redhat Directory Server or Windows Active Directory Server, and the
LDAP directory server doesn't provide a list of supported matching rules and syntaxes as
part of the directory server schema search. Then, you need to define your own supported
matching rules and syntaxes file. For detailed information on how to create an XML file
containing supported matching rules and syntaxes for your directory server, see Section 7.5.6
(page 313).
• Mapping Rules For Unsupported Matching Rules and Syntaxes File
If matching rules and/or LDAP syntaxes used in attribute type definitions in the schema
definition file are not supported on the LDAP directory server, the ldapschema tool maps
them using alternate matching rules and syntaxes the LDAP server supports. LDAP-UX
provides the /etc/opt/ldapux/schema/map-rules.xml file which defines a list of
default substitution matching rules and syntaxes, and alternate matching rules and syntaxes.
See Section 7.5.7 (page 315) for details.
