Display the Supported Schema

The subschema subentry is a virtual entry containing the schema being currently used by DSA.

Display the schema supported by this DSA

1. Use the following command:

   ldapsearch -h hostname -p portnumber -s base -b "" objectclass="*" subschemaSubentry
   

   The information retrieved is the subentry that contains the schema information, for example:

   subschemaSubentry=cn=schema
   

2. Perform another search from this base to retrieve the schema, for example:

   ldapsearch -h hostname -p portnumber -s base -b "cn=schema" objectclass="*"
   

   This returns the following information:

   • objectClasses
   • attributeTypes
   • dITStructureRules
   • nameforms
   • ldapSyntaxes
