These are Schema related [LDAP SearchFilters] which show [LDAP Query Examples] that can be used to find information specific to the Schema LDAP. The RFC recommend that the [RootDSE Example] publish an entry for "[SubschemaSubentry]". The [SubschemaSubentry] is the [DN] of the location of the schema. A typical entry is: {{{ subschemaSubentry: cn=schema }}} Once this value is obtained the ldapsearch command may be used to obtain the schema for the LDAP server: {{{ ldapsearch -h yourLDAPDNS -b "cn=schema" -s base -D cn=admin,ou=...,dc=yourdomain,dc=com -w secretpassword "(objectclass=*)" >2008-11-09-schema.ldif }}} Some [LDAP Server Implementations] prefer this type of syntax. {{{ ldapsearch -h yourLDAPDNS -b "cn=schema" -s base -D cn=admin,ou=...,dc=yourdomain,dc=com -w secretpassword "(objectclass=*)" attributeTypes dITStructureRules objectClasses nameForms dITContentRules matchingRules ldapSyntaxes matchingRuleUse }}} This will store the schema in an LDIF file named 2008-11-09-schema.ldif. !!
