GENI Extension Schema for LDAP

In order to automate delegated account creation/deletion, the AM uses following LDAP schema extension (in this example stored in a file named geni.schema):

# octetString SYNTAX
attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.90 
        NAME 'remoteDN' 
	DESC 'MANDATORY: baseDN from remote' 
	EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
	SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{256} )

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.91 
        NAME 'listOfChildren' 
	DESC 'MANDATORY: List of children with this account cloned' 
	EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
	SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{256} )


# printableString SYNTAX yes|no
objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.100 
        NAME 'geniAttributes' SUP top AUXILIARY
	DESC 'MANDATORY: GENI related attributes'
	MAY ( remoteDN $ listOfChildren ) 
	)

In order for it to be loaded at start-up, this schema needs to be placed in server schema directory (for the latest version of ​slapd in /etc/ldap/schema) and the following line has to be added to the LDAP configuration file (typically in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf):

include		/etc/ldap/schema/geni.schema
