Configuring
Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
Configuring directory services
This section describes how to plan, set up, and use IBM® Domino® directory services.
LDAP schema
A directory entry contains information about a particular entity, or object -- for example, a person or a group -- and is associated with a distinguished name. An LDAP schema is a set of rules that define what can be stored as entries in an LDAP directory. Each LDAP directory has a default schema, which organizations can customize, or "extend," by adding elements to it. The elements of a schema are attributes, syntaxes, and object classes. LDAP directory servers provide the ability to enforce the schema to ensure that directory changes made using LDAP operations conform to it.
Extending the schema using the Schema database
You can use the Domino® LDAP Schema database to extend the schema by adding attributes, object classes, and syntaxes to the schema.
Checking the status of approved schema elements in the Schema database
Every 15 minutes (by default) the schema daemon on the administration server for the IBM® Domino® Directory looks for approved schema changes in the Pending Documents views of the Domino LDAP Schema database. You can check the status of pending schema changes in the Schema database.

Checking the status of approved schema elements in the Schema database

Every 15 minutes (by default) the schema daemon on the administration server for the IBM® Domino® Directory looks for approved schema changes in the Pending Documents views of the Domino LDAP Schema database. You can check the status of pending schema changes in the Schema database.

Procedure

Open the Schema database (SCHEMA.NSF) on the administration server for the Domino Directory.
Open the Extended Documents view -- any documents here represent schema elements that have been incorporated into the schema.
Open the Pending Documents view -- any documents here represent schema elements the schema daemon has not yet incorporated into the schema.

What to do next

Use the Tell LDAP Reloadschema server command on the administration server for the Domino Directory to manually initiate processing of the schema changes in the Pending Documents view rather than wait for the schema daemon to run on schedule.
