Sorry for bugging again.
As I had mentioned in my earlier mail, the "activeFlag" attribute was not
defined(so even though creation was successful, modification was not). As
suggested by you I tried to add this attribute in the schema using the JNDI
calls( as given in examples in JNDI tutorial at the SUN site
http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/ldap/schema/attribute.html).
However there was no success as I kept on getting NamingException (even
though I was using the administrator password).
You can't change the schema dynamically in ADS. You should define your
own schema (as in OpenLdap, with the very same syntax). Here is an
recipe to do so :
"
Hello all,
I've seen that it was possible to create new schemas with ApacheDS
0.9.3, and that these new schemas were "loaded" at startup, provided
one has correctly set up the xml configuration file.
My problem is to know how to create a new schema ? What Java class
should be extended ? Does anybody have any code example that would
help me doing this ?
Thanks for your help. I only need to add some basic attributed on
inetOrgPerson objet.
Ok I see what you're trying to do. I recommend you create a new m2
module for your schema. This module can generate the jar file
containing your extension schema (let's call it the vincent schema).
Your other projects can just depend on this subproject.
(1) setup the regular m2 layout for the project
(2) place the file named vincent.schema in ${basedir}/src/main/schema
with your new objectClass which extends inetOrgPerson
(3) setup pom to generate schema classes from vincent.schema using this
build section (change pkg setting to suite your needs)
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.ldap.server</groupId>
<artifactId>org.apache.ldap.server.plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<schemaSourcesDir>src/main/schema</schemaSourcesDir>
<schemas>
<schema>
<name>vincent</name>
<pkg>org.vincent.schema</pkg>
<dependencies>
<dependency>system</dependency>
<dependency>core</dependency>
<dependency>cosine</dependency>
<dependency>inetorgperson</dependency>
</dependencies>
</schema>
</schemas>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>generate</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
(4) write a test case to use your new schema org.vincent.VincentSchema
which is generated into target/schemas.
NOTE: both the idea:idea and the eclipse:eclipse goal will include the
target/schemas path in the classpath so you're project should be good to
go.
Hope this helps,
Alex "
I am not sure if that is the
correct way of changing schema. I didn't find any document regarding
changing schema at the Apache Directory site.
True. And sorry ;) And yes, we will document it soon !
Also is there any way to turn off schema checking in case I don't want
it(JXplorer has a menu item "Stop Schema Checking" but that doesn't seem to
work when the LDAP server is Apache Directory)
No. The switch on JXplorer is on client side only.
Thanks to all for replying

You are welcome ! All the user experiences are good to improve the
server and its documentation !
