These instructions are to setup the OpenNIC object schemas in slapd. This will only work on systems that use the cn=config type of configuration(not slapd.conf). It has been tested on Debian 8.

1) Install OpenLDAP (slapd)

Follow documentation for your specific distribution to install slapd.

Copy the provided dnsdomain2.schema to /etc/ldap/schema/. Start slapd afterwards. New object schemas should now be available.

Debian

If you are not prompted for initial configuration, you can reconfigure the package with the following command.

dpkg-reconfigure slapd

2) Test Connection and Base Schema

If everything has been setup correctly, the following should work. You will be prompted for the administrator password.

ldapsearch -h localhost -D "cn=admin,dc=opennic,dc=glue" -W -b "dc=opennic,dc=glue" -s "base" "(objectclass=*)"

3) Create dnsschema.conf

Create /tmp/dnsschema.conf with the schemas you would like to use. As an example:

include /etc/ldap/schema/core.schema

include /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.schema

include /etc/ldap/schema/nis.schema

include /etc/ldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema

include /etc/ldap/schema/dnsdomain2.schema

4) Create Temp Config Directory

Create a directory to create the new LDAP configuration.

mkdir /tmp/dnsschema.d

5) Generate Temporary Config

Populate the test directory with a base config.

slaptest -f /tmp/dnsschema.conf -F /tmp/dnsschema.d/

6) Verify Config

Check and make sure the /tmp/dnsschema.d/ directory has cn=config, which should suggest that the config has been created successfully.

7) Make Necessary Changes to LDIF

Edit the new dnsdomain2.ldif(should be at /tmp/dnsschema.d/cn\=config/cn\=schema/cn\=\{*\}dnsdomain2.ldif) in the temporary config. Change the first few lines so it looks something like the following:

dn: cn=dnsdomain2,cn=schema,cn=config

objectClass: olcSchemaConfig

cn: dnsdomain2

Also, remove everything below the last olcObjectClasses entry.

8) Merge New Schema

Now, we need to merge the new object schemas into the config.

ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /tmp/dnsschema.d/cn\=config/cn\=schema/cn\=\{3\}courier.ldif
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /tmp/dnsschema.d/cn\=config/cn\=schema/cn\=\{5\}dnsdomain2.ldif

If all goes well, you should see output along the lines of:

SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started

SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth

SASL SSF: 0

adding new entry "cn=dnsdomain2,cn=schema,cn=config"

9) Add Test Data

ldapadd -D "cn=admin,dc=opennic,dc=glue" -W -x -f opennic_glue.ldif
ldapadd -D "cn=admin,dc=opennic,dc=glue" -W -x -f test_zone.ldif
ldapadd -D "cn=admin,dc=opennic,dc=glue" -W -x -f users.ldif

A complete test environment should now be setup and ready to go.
