Server User Manual

Chapter 2. Core Server Configuration Reference
4
if a server identifier is phonebook, then for a Directory Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (32-bit),
the configuration LDIF files are all stored under /etc/dirsrv/slapd-phonebook.
This directory also contains other server instance-specific configuration files.
Schema configuration is also stored in LDIF format, and these files are located in the /etc/dirsrv/
slapd-instance_name/schema directory (/etc/opt/dirsrv/slapd->instance_name on HP-
UX).
The following table lists all of the configuration files that are supplied with the Directory Server,
including those for the schema of other compatible servers. Each file is preceded by a number which
indicates the order in which they should be loaded (in ascending numerical and then alphabetical
order).
Configuration Filename Purpose
dse.ldif Contains front-end Directory Specific Entries
created by the directory at server startup. These
include the Root DSE ("") and the contents of
cn=config and cn=monitor (ACIs only).
00core.ldif Contains only those schema definitions
necessary for starting the server with the bare
minimum feature set (no user schema, no
schema for any non-core features). The rest
of the schema used by users, features, and
applications is found in 01common.ldif and the
other schema files. Do not modify this file.
01common.ldif Contains LDAPv3 standard operational schema,
such as subschemaSubentry, LDAPv3
standard user and organization schema
defined in RFC 2256 (based on X.520/X.521),
inetOrgPerson and other widely-used
attributes, and the operational attributes used by
Directory Server configuration. Modifying this file
causes interoperability problems. User-defined
attributes should be added through the Directory
Server Console.
05rfc2247.ldif Schema from RFC 2247 and related pilot
schema, from "Using Domains in LDAP/X500
Distinguished Names."
05rfc2927.ldif Schema from RFC 2927, "MIME Directory Profile
for LDAP Schema." Contains the ldapSchemas
operational attribute required for the attribute to
show up in the subschema subentry.
10presence.ldif Legacy. Schema for instant messaging presence
(online) information; the file lists the default
object classes with the allowed attributes that
must be added to a user's entry in order for
instant-messaging presence information to be
available for that user.
