Installing the schema definition on the LDAP server

The files that define the schema supported by the Policy Agent are shipped as a set of sample files. You need to modify the configuration of the LDAP server to include these schema definition files.

For LDAP protocol version 3, the schema definition is shipped in ldif format and installed on the LDAP server as a modification to the generic schema entry, known as a subschema. You must modify the existing schema entry to include the supported schema as a subschema by using the ldapmodify command. The schema definition files that you must install are located in the /usr/lpp/tcpip/samples directory. You must install the files in the following order:

  1. pagent_r8qosschema.ldif
  2. pagent_r5idsschema.ldif

This process is supported for the z/OS® LDAP server.

To install the schema definitions, use commands like those shown in the following examples:

ldapmodify -h <server address> -p <server port> -D <administrator userid>
-w <password> -f /usr/lpp/tcpip/samples/pagent_r8qosschema.ldif
ldapmodify -h <server address> -p <server port> -D <administrator userid>
-w <password> -f /usr/lpp/tcpip/samples/pagent_r5idsschema.ldif
