Hello,
When an instance in the topology contains schema extensions like new
MAY attribute, this extension would be propagated to all instances
by replication (no need to copy/merge schema files). This was the
purpose of https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47721. So it is fine
to add new MAY/MUST attribute or new attribute/objectclasses.
During a replication session, a master will check what schema
definitions (objectclasses/attributes) of the replica extends its
own schema. If such definitions exist the supplier add/replace them
in its schema and its user99.ldif file. In your case if a replica
contains a new allowed attribute (e.g. 'idnsSecInlineSigning') but
not the supplier then the supplier 'learns it' (during a replication
session it initiated) and so an entry containing that new attribute
can be updated on the supplier as well.
There is a similar mechanism, when a replica receives a schema that
contains new definitions, it 'learns' them.
The fix for 47721 is introduced in 389-ds 1.3.2.17 and after.
It was tested with mixing 1.3.2.17 instance with legacy versions
(1.3.1, 1,3.0..), and the schema on both side converged to a common
one. This, whatever if the extensions are present on both side.
A limitation is that a legacy instance (not having the fix), must
have a replica agreements to/from an instance with the fix.
regards
thierry
