This is a tool for converting .schema file to .ldif file, in order to use cn=config backend instead of slapd.conf
It's easy to use:
schema2ldif < myschema.schema > myschema.ldif
It was orignally written by OpenSides for FusionDirectory.
It's written in perl.
It follows these directions found in schema/openldap.ldif :
# This openldap.ldif file is provided as a demonstration of how to
# convert a *.schema file into *.ldif format. The key points:
# In LDIF, a blank line terminates an entry. Blank lines in a *.schema
# file should be replaced with a single '#' to turn them into
# comments, or they should just be removed.
# In addition to the actual schema directives, the file needs a small
# header to make it a valid LDAP entry. This header must provide the
# dn of the entry, the objectClass, and the cn, as shown here:
#
dn: cn=openldap,cn=schema,cn=config
objectClass: olcSchemaConfig
cn: openldap
#
# The schema directives need to be changed to LDAP Attributes.
# First a basic string substitution can be done on each of the keywords:
# objectIdentifier -> olcObjectIdentifier:
# objectClass -> olcObjectClasses:
# attributeType -> olcAttributeTypes:
# Then leading whitespace must be fixed. The slapd.conf format allows
# tabs or spaces to denote line continuation, while LDIF only allows
# the space character.
# Also slapd.conf preserves the continuation character, while LDIF strips
# it out. So a single TAB/SPACE in slapd.conf must be replaced with
# two SPACEs in LDIF, otherwise the continued text may get joined as
# a single word.
# The directives must be listed in a proper sequence:
# All olcObjectIdentifiers must be first, so they may be referenced by
# any following definitions.
# All olcAttributeTypes must be next, so they may be referenced by any
# following objectClass definitions.
# All olcObjectClasses must be after the olcAttributeTypes.
# And of course, any superior must occur before anything that inherits
# from it.
