Displaying the Schema with ldapsearch
Use the ldapsearch command with the following arguments to read the current schema through the directory server:
/opt/SUNWconn/bin/ldapsearch -h hostname -b "cn=schema" -s base 'objectclass=*'
where hostname is the name of the directory server.
Table 8-1 shows an extract of the type of information returned.

When you use the ldapsearch command to display the schema, the keywords are shown in capitals. They introduce the following:
-
NAME introduces the name of the object class.
-
DESC introduces a description of the object class.
-
SUP introduces the name of the superior object class.
-
MUST introduces the list of mandatory attributes for an object class. In dsserv.oc.conf mandatory attributes are identified by the keyword requires.
-
MAY introduces the list of optional attributes for an object class. In dsserv.oc.conf mandatory attributes are identified by the keyword allows.
