1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 ::= IA5string
caseIgnoreMatch ::= case ignore match for directoryString

either use "1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15" (directoryString) or
caseIgnoreIA5Match.  Clear enough?  Who wrote that schema (which is not
distributed with OpenLDAP, BTW) likely didn't wear eyeglasses.

I note that SysNet developed tools that automatically cure those issues
when loading schema files (this issue is very frequent, because people
think that, all in all, a string is a string, and case ignore is case
ignore, so there's tons of broken schema out there).  You can contact
<info@sys-net.it> for details.
