Re: Creating my own schema in OpenLdap 2.3

I note that how to create LDAP schemas is not generally
a topic specific to OpenLDAP Software.  However, your problem
has nothing to do with schema creation, and not dependent
on your custom schema.

You sent this server up as a slave server.

You then perform an add using the updatedn, but
you didn't add like slurpd(8).

Well, I assume its configuring the server as a slave
or inappropriately use of the updatedn.  The updatedn
is meant for slurpd(8) use, or the administrators
use when hand applying a replog record with all
necessary operational attributes.
