ldif - Import attribute/object definitions to Active Directory (AD LDS) -

currently i'm using opends , have migrate active directory (ad lds).

i have few custom attributes/objects defined in .ldif files in opends/config/schema directory this:

attributetypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.99.1 name 'mynewattribute' desc 'some text' equality caseignorematch syntax 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 single-value ) objectclasses: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.99.2 name 'mynewclass' sup top structural must ( person $ mynewattribute ) may someotherattribute )

unfortunately ldifde not understand format, used adsi edit import definitions manually 1 1 (cumbersome!) - encountered problems:

it seems advertisement supports handful of different syntax definitions, 2.5.5.12. how can map 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 ad?

omsyntax: seems advertisement specific , not known rest of ldap world. omsyntax in combination attributesyntax seems define info type in advertisement world.

things equality seem missing in ad! how deal this?

question: there tool convert ldif file attribute/object definitions format understood ms / advertisement / ldifde?

or more general question: best practice migrate attribute/object definitions opends, openldap, etc. microsoft world?

welcome diretories compatibility world. first of next syntax :

attributetypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.99.1 name 'mynewattribute' desc 'some text' equality caseignorematch syntax 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 single-value )

is not ldif syntax. it's syntax used in netscape directories specify schema (openldap, ex sun directory service etc.). far want introduce new attributes , classes in active directory, can using 1 of these 3 ways :

manualy using mutual adsiedit.msc (i never that) :

manualy using specific active directory scema editor mmc (microsoft management console)

this way utilize in development phase.

mmc.exe -> file -> open component -> active directory schema

if using old server mmc available recording active x component :

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\schmmgmt.msc

this way much easier, it's way utilize on development vm create attributes, export ldif description ldifde.exe tool in order clean (remove scheme attributes) , import on production servers.

programaticaly using ldif

here illustration of ldif syntax of attribute

dn: cn=slxchapitres,cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=xxxx changetype: add together objectclass: top objectclass: attributeschema cn: slxchapitres distinguishedname: cn=slxchapitres,cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=xxxx instancetype: 4 attributeid: 1.3.6.1.4.1.10558.2.1.6 attributesyntax: 2.5.5.4 issinglevalued: false showinadvancedviewonly: true admindisplayname: slxchapitres omsyntax: 20 ldapdisplayname: slxchapitres name: slxchapitres objectcategory: cn=attribute-schema,cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=xxxx

this code is ldif, can inject using ldide.exe programme dc=xxxx syntax allowing me utilize -c dnsrc dntarget of ldiffde.exe programme alternative locate right dn.

as far syntax , matching rules concerned, in sentiment active-directory is not standard. microsoft utilize kind of combination between these concepts give 1 thing phone call syntax. whenever create new attribute, must specify syntax. uniquely identify syntax among total set of 21 syntaxes, must specify 2 pieces of information: oid of syntax , so-called om syntax. pair of values must set , correctly correlate mictosoft documention.
