Extending LDAP database

Hello,

I need to extend LDAP database which is in Zimbra as default. I'm thinking about adding some new fields to the existing database. I'm importing database from another program and there are some more fields than in Zimbra.

I know that LDAP has a directory sturcture and in 6.0+ versions it is in /opt/zimbra/data but I still don't know which file I can edit and how...

I'd be grateful if anybody would like to help me.

maybe you can have a look at the document which describes how to integrate Samba with Zimbra:
UNIX and Windows Accounts in Zimbra LDAP and Zimbra Admin UI 6.0 - Zimbra :: Wiki
which explains how to alter the LDAP db schema.

Thanks for your response, but I still don't know how should I do this.

I added one file: cn={11}procter.ldif

Quote:

---

dn: cn={11}
objectClass: olcSchemaConfig
cn: {11}procter
# Depends upon core.schema and cosine.schema

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.0 NAME 'id_pacj'
DESC 'An integer uniquely identifying a user in an administrative domain'
EQUALITY integerMatch
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE )

# Object Class Definitions

objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.2.0 NAME 'procterAccount'
DESC 'Abstraction of an account with procter attributes'
SUP top AUXILIARY
MAY ( id_pacj )
)

---

to the following directory:
/opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config/cn=config/cn=schema

but trying to modify account in this way:

Quote:

---

zmprov ma mateusz@debian.workgroup +objectClass procterAccount id_pacj 3141

---

I'm getting the following error:

Quote:

---

ERROR: account.INVALID_ATTR_VALUE (invalid attr value: [LDAP: error code 21 - objectClass: value #0 invalid per syntax])

---

I really need help to do this. I'm fighting with this for a long hours and I'm still at the same point.

Mistakes in your cn={11}procter.ldif

Code:

---

dn: cn={11}procter
objectClass: olcSchemaConfig
cn: {11}procter
# Depends upon core.schema and cosine.schema

olcAttributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.0 NAME 'id_pacj'
  DESC 'An integer uniquely identifying a user in an administrative domain'
  EQUALITY integerMatch
  SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE )

# Object Class Definitions

olcObjectClasses: ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.2.0 NAME 'procterAccount'
  DESC 'Abstraction of an account with procter attributes'
  SUP top AUXILIARY
  MAY ( id_pacj ))

---

And you should use or own OIDs.

Right permissions on the file? -> chmod 600 cn\=\{11\}procter.ldif && chown zimbra.zimbra cn\=\{11\}procter.ldif

Restart of ldap service? ldap stop && ldap start
