ProcedureTo Extend Schema Through LDAP

You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.

Before You Begin

Modifying schema definitions from the command line is prone to error because of the long values that you must type exactly. However, you can use this functionality in scripts that need to update your directory schema.

  1. Use the ldapmodify(1) command to add or delete individual attributeTypes attribute values.

    See To Create an Attribute Type or To Delete Attribute Types for details.

  2. Use the ldapmodify(1) command to add or delete individual objectClasses attribute values.

    See To Create an Object Class or To Delete an Object Class for details.

To modify one of the values, you must delete the specific value and then add the value as a new value. This process is required because the attributes are multivalued. For details, see Modifying One Value of a Multi Valued Attribute.
