Extend the OpenLDAP Policy Store Schema

You can extend an existing 6.x policy store schema to include the objects introduced by r12.0 SP2 by specifying the schema files in the include section of the slapd configuration file (slapd.conf). This ensures that the slapd process (the LDAP Directory Server daemon) reads the additional configuration information. The included files must follow the correct slapd configuration file format. There are no changes to the existing 6.x policy store schema.

To extend an existing OpenLDAP policy store schema

1. Copy the following schema files from dir_config_home\xps\openldap to the schema folder in the OpenLDAP installation directory:
   • openldap_attribute_XPS.schema
   • openldap_object_XPS.schema
   • dir_config_home

     Specifies the Directory Configuration installation path.

2. Type the following in the include section of the slapd configuration file:

   ....
   .....
   include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/openldap_attribute_XPS.schema
   include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/openldap_object_XPS.schema
   

   Note: This procedure assumes that the OpenLDAP server is located at /usr/local/etc/openldap and that the schema files are located in the schema subdirectory.

   The policy store schema is extended to include the objects introduced by r12.0 SP2.
