Section 5.2.3
The contents of the file corresponding to cn=schema are always ignored, and the actual
runtime contents of the cn=schema entry are always the actual hardcoded schema in the
slapd process. As such, you should only trust the contents of an ldapsearch of the
cn=schema,cn=config entry, and always disregard whatever was stored in the file.
