So the class itself is not modified. The way the LDIF files are named does not imply you modify a given class. Only the number has a meaning, and this represents the order of the files analysing at the server startup <BR>- I am not sure, but I believe that 99users.ldif should not be modified, because it represents a view of the directory schema, and is not a configuration file. Again, I am really not sure, I don't have a fedora instance at home and can't check this <BR>- standard classes should not be modified. You should create an auxiliary objectClass containing you custom attribute types, and have your users implement both inetOrgPerson and your auxiliary class. This can also be a way to determine if a given user is configured for our application or not (if it implements your aux class or not) To achieve this, you should create a file named, for example, 70kevin.ldif and put all your custom schema in it. Then start your server.<BR><BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>François<BR><BR><BR><BR> <DIV><SPAN class=gmail_quote>2006/9/25, kevin james <<A id=bodyLinks href="mailto:kevinjj33@yahoo.com" target=_blank rel=nofollow> kevinjj33@yahoo.com</A>>:</SPAN> <BLOCKQUOTE class=gmail_quote style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid"> <DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif"> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif">Oops I pressed the enter key and the mail got sent, Yahoo Beta Mail is too Ajaxified :)</DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif"> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif">These were the lines I added to the bottom of the 99users.ldif</DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif">My custom attribute being called "policyNos"</DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif"> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif">attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.2 NAME 'policyNos' DESC 'Policy Numbers for Insured' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )<BR></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif">I was able to restart slapd with no problems, but it still doesnt show up in my list of attrbutes for inetOrgPerson.</DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif"> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif">Again any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif"> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif">Thanks,</DIV><SPAN class=sg> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif">Kevin<BR></DIV></SPAN> <DIV><SPAN class=e id=q_10de6847f5d3e417_2> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif">----- Original Message ----<BR>From: kevin james <<A id=bodyLinks href="mailto:kevinjj33@yahoo.com" target=_blank rel=nofollow> kevinjj33@yahoo.com</A>><BR>To: <A id=bodyLinks href="mailto:fedora-directory-users@redhat.com" target=_blank rel=nofollow>fedora-directory-users@redhat.com</A><BR>Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 3:43:07 PM <BR>Subject: Extending inetOrgPerson's schema to support custom attributes<BR><BR> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif"> <DIV>Hello All,</DIV> <DIV><BR>I'm trying to extend the inetOrgPerson's schema in order to better support our companie's </DIV> <DIV>user profile.
