Dumping NDS Schema

Articles and Tips: qna

Q.

Dear Ab-end: Is there an easy way to dump the NDS schema to a text file, preferably via LDAP? I tried ldapsearch cn=schema objectclass=*, but nothing returned. Specifically, the attributes of user objects (preferably with data types). Obviously I can do this from the GUI in C1, but I need it in text format for others. -- Dumping in Dachau

A.

Dear Dumping: Two possibilities here:

  1. The following command line should work from ldapsearch:

    ldapsearch -h <host> -D <bind dn> -w <password> -b "cn=schema" -s base "objectclass=subSchema"
  2. You could also use the ICE utility (from the LDAP C SDK) and output the results in LDIF format.
