You can create attributes and objectclasses BUT you need an OID (Object 
IDentifier) assigned to you.

See
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin/schema.html#Extending%20Schema
for a clean explanation of how to do it.

In http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/enterprise.pl you get your own OID, it's 
as simple (and free) as sending an e-mail, and it took us 2 days to get 
it.

Good luck.
