Configuring
Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
Configuring directory services
This section describes how to plan, set up, and use IBM® Domino® directory services.
LDAP schema
A directory entry contains information about a particular entity, or object -- for example, a person or a group -- and is associated with a distinguished name. An LDAP schema is a set of rules that define what can be stored as entries in an LDAP directory. Each LDAP directory has a default schema, which organizations can customize, or "extend," by adding elements to it. The elements of a schema are attributes, syntaxes, and object classes. LDAP directory servers provide the ability to enforce the schema to ensure that directory changes made using LDAP operations conform to it.
Schema-checking
When schema-checking is enabled the LDAP service carries out LDAP add and modify operations only if the operations conform to the schema. Schema checking is enabled by default and it is best to keep this default behavior if you allow write access to a directory so that you have better control over the contents of a directory.
Enabling or disabling schema-checking
You can disable or enable schema-checking for all the servers in the domain that run the LDAP service.

Enabling or disabling schema-checking

You can disable or enable schema-checking for all the servers in the domain that run the LDAP service.

Procedure

From the Domino® Administrator, open a server that runs the LDAP service, or a server in the same domain as one that runs the LDAP service.
Click the Configuration tab.
In the navigation pane, expand Directory, then LDAP, and then select Settings.
Do one of the following:

Click Yes if you see the prompt Unable to locate a Server Configuration document for this domain. Would you like to create one now?, then click the LDAP tab on the document.
If you do not see the prompt, click Edit LDAP Settings.
In the Enforce schema? field, choose one:
- Yes, to enable schema-checking (default)
- No, to prevent schema-checking
Click Save & Close.
