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.
Using the Schema database to add a syntax to the schema
You can use the Domino® LDAP Schema database (SCHEMA.NSF) to add a syntax to the schema.

Using the Schema database to add a syntax to the schema

You can use the Domino® LDAP Schema database (SCHEMA.NSF) to add a syntax to the schema.

Before you begin

Make sure you have Manager access to the Schema database.

Open the Schema database on any server in the domain that runs the LDAP service.
Select the All Schema Documents view, then click New Document > Add Syntax.
Complete these fields on the Basics tab, and then save and close the document:
- LDAP name – Enter a name for the syntax type.
- OID – Enter the object identifier.
For more information on syntaxes, see RFC 2252.
