Schema tasks

 

Use this information to manage the schema.

The schema can be managed using the Web administration tool, or an LDAP application like ldapmodify in combination with LDIF files. When you are first defining new objectclasses or attributes, it might be most convenient to use the Web administration tool. If copy the new schema to other servers (perhaps as part of a product or tool you are deploying), the ldapmodify utility might be more useful, see Copying the schema to other servers for more information.
