Problem

A Forum reader recently asked:

"Is there any software that will document the eDirectory/LDAP schema? I want to document how many class there are in my LDAP, what are the attributes attached to each class, their types, etc."

And here's the response from eDirectory expert Jim Henderson ...

Solution

Use this ICE command:

ICE -S LDAP -s yourserver.dns.name.here -p 636 -d cn=youradmin,o=yourorg
-w yourpassword -b cn=schema -c base -D LDIF -f schema.ldif

This will give you an LDIF file with all the schema information.
