LDAP DIT Design and LDIF File

LDAP Data Structure

An LDAP Directory stores information in a tree structure known as

the Directory Information Tree (DIT). The nodes in the tree are

directory entries, and each entry contains information in attribute-

value form. An example of the LDAP directory tree for the B020-

Series KVM Switch is shown in the figure below:

DIT Creation

The LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) is used to represent LDAP

entries in a simple text format (please refer to RFC 2849). The figure

below illustrates an LDIF file that creates the DIT for the B020-

Series KVM Switch directory tree (shown in the figure in the previous

section).

The following figure illustrates an LDIF file that defines the OpenLDAP

group for the B020-Series KVM Switch.

Using the New Schema

To use the new schema, do the following:

1. Save the new schema file (e.g., B020-Series KVM switch.

schema) in the /OpenLDAP/ schema/ directory.

2. Add the new schema to the slapd.conf file, as shown in the

figure:

3. Restart the LDAP server.

4. Write the LDIF file and create the database entries in init.ldif with

the ldapadd command, as shown in the following example:

ldapadd -f init.ldif -x -D “cn=Manager,dc=tripplite,dc=com” -w secret
