RE: Active Directory Imitation
There is a copy of an early version of Microsoft's ActiveDirectory schema
include in the OpenLDAP source tree on the development (HEAD) branch. How
accurate or up-to-date this file is isn't really clear. However, I think that's
a minor point given your query. Since it seems you really want to test how
other servers are going to behave, there is nothing to be gained by trying to
make OpenLDAP imitate those other servers. Every server version has its own
peculiar quirks, and the only way to discover what those are is to talk to the
actual servers.
