Thinking about it, as soon as the schema elements stored in the

Could you give that a try ?
Yes, I will try this. However I guess it won't be that easy.
Anyway, my thinking was probably similar to yours. I.e. we do not need
to distinguish each server by its vendor name. We only need to support
serveral well-know styles of representing schema. E.g. try looking for
subschema entry in DSE. If that fails try going directly to cn=schema
suffix (this seems to be the Netscape family style). Maybe try some
other tricks. I guess that this is reasonably safe. It is unlikely that
a non-schema entry will be mistakenly parsed as a schema entry. So it is
pretty much OK to try (and fail) a lot of methods. Also, getting the
schema is already quite an expensive operation. Therefore adding several
round-trips will not make it much worse than it already is. So I think
this is the way to go. I guess that by implementing just a couple of
these methods we can support majority of LDAP servers. And we do not
even need to know their names.
I'll try it. My current list of servers to test is:
OpenLDAP, OpenDJ, 389ds, eDirectory
So I'm going to play with these during next couple of weeks. And we can
try other servers later on.
