Extending schema in Tiger OD

[kevsmith]

I would like to set up LDAP authentication for a Meeting Maker server (yeah, it’s the best we can do right now) but their documentation for Open Directory / OpenLDAP is sparse.

I can handle the Meeting Maker configs but I’m not sure how to extend the Open Directory schema for their LDAP plug in. They’ve included a “meetingmaker.schema” file — is it as simple as copying this to the schemas directory and adding the include to the slapd.conf? If so, require reboot or stop/start service?

I’ve read some posts where people were trying to do something similar (but not with Meeting Maker) and couldn’t use a .schema file. I believe they had to use the ldapadd or ldapmodify utils. Sounds messy.

Any advice, links, etc. appreciated.
