Understanding Schema in Sun OpenDS Standard Edition
Schema is a very important part of LDAP directory services. Although many people may have a basic understanding of attribute types and object classes, there is a great deal of information about LDAP schema that many people do not know.

For instructions on viewing the schema using the ldapsearch command, see Viewing Attribute Types and Viewing Object Classes.
