Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRAPI-154:
----------------------------------------
I don't think this is required. The same mechanism done for ApacheDS (which is
defined in http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4512#section-4.4) can also be done for
most other LDAP servers, supposed they only provide a single schema:
1. Get the 'subschemaSubentry' from RootDSE, this points to the schema entry.
In case of OpenLDAP that is 'cn=subschema'.
2. The schema entry contains all the schema attributes (objectClasses,
attributesTypes, etc.)
So I think we can just remove the 'if ( isApacheDs( rootDse ) )' condition.

> Key: DIRAPI-154
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-154
> Project: Directory Client API
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0-M20
> Reporter: Gerald Turner
> Attachments: openldap-schema.ldif
>
>
> The constructor in DefaultSchemaLoader has the following comment:
> // TODO Handle schema loading on other LDAP servers
> For OpenLDAP this would require searching subtree under cn=schema,cn=config
> and handling attributes like:
> olcAttributeTypes: {1}( 2.5.4.4 NAME ( 'sn' 'surname' ) DESC 'RFC2256: last
> (family) name(s) for which the entity is known by' SUP name )
> olcObjectClasses: {4}( 2.5.6.6 NAME 'person' DESC 'RFC2256: a person' SUP
> top STRUCTURAL MUST ( sn $ cn ) MAY ( userPassword $ telephoneNumber $
> seeAlso $ description ) )
> Note that there is also an 'olcObjectIdentifier' attribute type that seems to
> be used to create macros for interpolation in OID's used in other attributes:
> olcObjectIdentifier: OLcfg 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.12.2
> olcObjectIdentifier: OLcfgAt OLcfg:3
> olcObjectIdentifier: OLcfgOvAt OLcfgAt:3
> olcObjectIdentifier: OMsyn 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1
> olcObjectIdentifier: OMsBoolean OMsyn:7
> olcAttributeTypes: ( OLcfgOvAt:10.4 NAME 'olcUniqueStrict' DESC 'Enforce
> uniqueness of null values' EQUALITY booleanMatch SYNTAX OMsBoolean
> SINGLE-VALUE )
> However this additional complexity seems to only be used for the
> internal/vendor-specific schema itself (not 'core', 'nis', etc.).
> Attached is LDIF output of from searching cn=schema,cn=config.
