Schema Files

The schema of the CA Directory server is in its schema directory (for example, DXHOME/config/schema), and consists of individual schema configuration files (.dxc) and group files (.dxg).

The schema of a running directory is available to LDAP clients through the LDAP Version 3 mechanism of schema publishing. LDIF is a convenient format in which to publish the schema.

To use new schema, it must be made available to the directory and the DXtools. This means a new or updated .dxc file, and possibly an updated .dxg file.
