hi guys,
To make the client aware of schema we need to load it in one of the
two ways
mentioned below
1. load the schema from the server if the server exposes it
2. have a common set of schema elements bundled with client
Do you see any other ways to make the client schema aware?
What schemas should be loaded by default?
some thoughts :
- we have discussed this extensively in Portland last year with Ludovic,
and we aggreed that the API must be schema aware
- we must provide a common set of schema (probably core, cosine, system
and inetorgperson is the absolute minimum subset)
- it should be possible for the user to request that the schema is
loaded from the server
- it should be possible to create a connection with a reference to the
loaded schema
- I don't think it's a good idea to request the server for the schema
when creating a connection. Either teh schema already exists, or no. If
not we use the default schema.
- the user should be allowed to extend the schema with his own schema
elements
- I suggest that the format for such schema extensio to be the OpenLDAP
schema format, as it's concise enough
