Question

Which schema file is required by OpenLDAP?

Options

  • Ainetorgperson.schema
  • Bcore.schema
  • Copenldap.schema
  • Dcosine.schema
  • Emisc.schema

Explanation

This question asks to identify the fundamental schema file that is essential for OpenLDAP to function correctly.

Common mistakes.

  • A. inetorgperson.schema defines object classes for representing people but is not strictly required for OpenLDAP's base operation; it is an extension.
  • C. openldap.schema defines OpenLDAP-specific object classes and attributes, but it is not the foundational schema required for basic directory functionality.
  • D. cosine.schema provides common object classes and attributes but, like inetorgperson.schema, it is an optional extension, not a core requirement.
  • E. misc.schema typically contains less common or miscellaneous object classes and attributes and is not a fundamental requirement for OpenLDAP's basic functionality.
