About Schema
Schema Supported by Directory
Server 4.0
Schema files are stored in /<NSHOME>/slapd-<server ID>/config
during installation (where <NSHOME> is the installation directory
and <server ID> is the name given to the Directory Server instance).
Modifications to directory object classes are stored in
slapd.user_oc.conf. Modifications to directory attributes are stored in
slapd.user_at.conf. Modifying other schema files may result in
interoperability problems.
Schema files listed here include schema supported by previous server
releases.
For more information about how the Directory Server stores
information and suggestions for planning directory schema, refer to
the Netscape Directory Server Deployment Guide.
