Extending Samba 4 schema for OSX GPO support

Wed Nov 24 09:30:46 MST 2010

Hi Karmen,

Thanks again for all your help with this!

Using TextWrangler on a Mac when I look at save options it says it is Unicode (UTF 8 NO BOM) with Unix line breaks. When I change it to Unicode (UTF 8) ldbmodify reads the file, but does nothing with it (0 records modified with 0 failures). When I put it back to it's original format it works (sort of). Anyways, I made the other changes you recommended and it still does not like the last 4 modify changes at the end. I get these errors from ldbmodify:

ERR: (No such object) "No such object (32)" on DN 
ERR: (No such object) "No such object (32)" on DN CN=User,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=corp,DC=core
ERR: (No such object) "No such object (32)" on DN CN=Computer,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=corp,DC=core
ERR: (No such object) "No such object (32)" on DN CN=Group,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=corp,DC=core
Modified 10 records with 4 failures

This for these items at the end of ldif file:

dn: 
changetype: modify
add: schemaUpdateNow
schemaUpdateNow: 1
-

# Add the new class to the user object
dn: CN=User,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=corp,DC=core
changetype: modify
add: auxiliaryClass
auxiliaryClass: apple-user
-

# Add the new class to the computer object
dn: CN=Computer,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=corp,DC=core
changetype: modify
add: auxiliaryClass
auxiliaryClass: apple-computer
-

# Add the new class to the group object
dn: CN=Group,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=corp,DC=core
changetype: modify
add: auxiliaryClass
auxiliaryClass: apple-group
-

Plus, even though it says adds the 10 classes, I still don't see them in phpLDAPadmin (even searching all base DNs). If I try to add them again, it complains that they already exist though, so it puts them somewhere. What am I missing here? Any thoughts? Thanks!

To remind on the environment (just in case):

Debian 5.0.6
Samba 4 (git version 4.0.0alpha14-GIT-0e95fca)
phpLDAPadmin 1.1.0.5

I will keep poking around too and let you all know if I figure it out on my own.

Hi Aubrey,

I have tested with the ldif you've attached in your first mail (I think)
and here is what I did to make it work (yes, it works)
1. the ldif is in Unicode - I've converted it in utf-8
2. in all classes, rdnAttId, subClassOf etc are denoted by OIDs
  so I just commented the line with the numeric OID and uncommented
  the line after it (the one with the ldapDisplayName)
  (it seems this is a problem only for rdnAttId, but I did for all of
them anyway)
3. replace "changetype: ntdsschemaadd" with "changetype: add"
4. use ldbmodify utility

It worked like charm :)
Good luck!

After reading that doc, I realized I did not have everything they said you needed (Like OS X Server), so I found an already formatted LDIF file on the internet and modified that, but the one I use meets all the criteria in Apple's instructions.
