Enabling NIS schema

[astratto]

Hi,

I need to enable the NIS schema and, according to ApacheDS documentation, I just need to modify the m-disabled attribute.

I tried starting Ladle with an LDIF file containing my data and these lines at the top:

dn: cn=nis,ou=schema
changetype: modify
replace: m-disabled
m-disabled: FALSE
-

other_stuff_here

but it fails with:

ApacheDS: ERROR: ERR_12004_CHANGE_NOT_ALLOWED We cannot have changes when reading a file which already contains entries
ApacheDS process failed: FATAL: ERR_12005_NO_CHANGE No changes within entries
ApacheDS: java.util.NoSuchElementException: ERR_12005_NO_CHANGE No changes within entries
...

Any ideas?

Thanks

Can you show me how you're building Ladle::Server?

Hi. Any suggestions/examples how to enable the nis Schema at startup?
I have the same problem like astratto.
in my spec test i initilize like this:

 before :all do
    @ldap_server = Ladle::Server.new(
    :port => 3897,
    :ldif => "./spec/support/my.ldif",
    :custom_schemas => "./spec/support/my_schema.ldif",
    :domain => "dc=my,dc=domain,dc=de",
    :tmpdir => Dir.tmpdir()
  )
    @ldap_server.start
  end

in my.ldif i have tried to do:

  dn: cn=nis,ou=schema
  changetype: modify
  replace: m-disabled
  m-disabled: FALSE
  -
[...]
dn: uid=tester,ou=tester,ou=people,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=de
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: ldapPublicKey
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
cn: Max Mustermann
[...]

results in:

Starting server on 3897

@rsutphin I'm sorry, but somehow I missed your reply...

Basically I was doing what @cherweg is doing now.
If I recall correctly I needed to enable other object classes (i.e., posix*) and I tried to pass a custom schema, that didn't work and I narrowed down the issue to the fact that it doesn't accept an LDIF that changes the schema.

Any progress on this? I would really like to use object classes from the nis schema like posixaccount etc.

edit: is there anyway to load it? I found an xml online but that doesn't seem to work and I don't know how to convert it.

[gtorre]

Running into the same issue. @rsutphin any thoughts on how to accomplish this? Thanks!

[gtorre]

@silarsis perhaps you might be able to assist?

Hey Folks,
sorry for my late response...
I solved my problem by updating the cn=nis.ldif inside the apacheds-all-2.0.0-M16.jar:

`diff cn=nis.ldif.enabled cn=nis.ldif
4c4

< m-disabled: FALSE

m-disabled: TRUE`

You could unzip the jar, change that file (apacheds-all-2.0.0-M16.jar/schema/ou=schema/cn=nis.ldif) and zip it again (as a jar file).

Perhaps somebody could release a new Version of ladle with an updated jar?
