Hi, folks,

     Sorry for the slow response. Things got busy.

What "brand" of directory server are you moving from? IIRC there might be some format differences between the schema in some directories compared to 389-ds.

I'm moving from OpenDJ. 

Also what makes you think it's "not working"? Does your imported schema appear in cn=schema if you query it?

The imported schema does appear. However, at least one attribute is acting wonky. I can't load an ldif file containing it. I get this:

#!ERROR  [LDAP result code 65 - objectClassViolation] attribute "mailUserStatus" not allowed  

Entries which do have it show it in the Apache Directory browser in italics and are completely uncapitalized.

Also, where are you moving it to exactly?  Did you restart the server or run the schema reload task afterwards?

I couldn't tell from the documentation whether to put it into /etc/dirserv/schema or /etc/dirserv/slapd-mail/schema, so I put it into both and restarted the server.

Thanks,
