Hello Emmanuel,

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

I was able to open the schema in LDAP Studio and export it to an LDIF. The first problem I encountered was that the exported LDIF had a typo which caused the import to fail. The typo was in this section (note the spelling of "matchingRules" in the dn):

    dn: ou=macthingRules, cn=moz, ou=schema
    objectclass: organizationalUnit
    objectclass: top
    ou: matchingrules

Hmmmm. This should not be a problem. OU are not supposed to be case sensitive, so matchingRules or matchingrules or even MATCHINGRULES should work.

The problem has nothing to do with case sensitivity, it is a spelling error. "macthingRules" should be spelled as "matchingRules".

To deal with that problem I simply removed the syntax length definitions from the exported LDIF (i.e. removed {128} etc.) and did the import again (I first had to delete the schemas partition directory in order to be able to do this, I am not sure if there is a better way...).

This is an option. You could have deleted the entry too, with LdapStudio, for instance.

Using LDAP Studio was not an option because the directory server would not start because of the schema exception being thrown.
