2.1.1. LDIF and Schema Configuration Files

The Directory Server configuration data are stored in LDIF files in the /etc/dirsrv/
slapd-instance_name directory (/etc/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name on HP-UX). Thus,
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
dse.ldif

Purpose
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).
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.
Contains LDAPv3 standard operational schema,
such as subschemaSubentry, LDAPv3
standard user and organization schema
