How to dump LDAP Schema

This article applies to the Linux and Mac versions of PaperCut. UNIX command-line experience is required. PaperCut support may ask for an LDAP schema data to diagnose complex LDAP issues. The following commands can be used to produce a file with LDAP information: If the base DN is known: ldapsearch -x -h localhost -b "<base dn>" | gzip > ldapsearch-data.gz With an empty base DN: ldapsearch -x -h localhost -b "" | gzip > ldapsearch-data.gz If authentication is required: ldapsearch -x -h localhost -D "<admin dn>" -w "<admin-password>" -b "<base dn>" | gzip > ldapsearch-data.gz Email the ldapsearch-data.gz file through to support and they can use this via diagnostics and/or setting up a duplicate ennvironment. Note: All data will be kept confidential and deleted when not required as per our privacy policy. I use OpenLDAP, what is my BaseDN and AdminDN? You should be able to obtain your AdminDN and BaseDN from your slapd.conf, this is often located in /usr/local/etc/openldap/ or /etc/openldap. On Mac OS X, this is called slapd_macosxserver.conf Open the file in your favourite text editor and look for the suffix and rootdn. Examples: suffix "dc=branch,dc=company,dc=biz" rootdn "uid=root,cn=users,dc=branch,dc=company,dc=biz" You should know your password! Windows users… If you are running Windows and do not have access to a Mac OS X or Linux installation to use ldapsearch, please contact PaperCut Technical Support who has a Windows binary available for your use.
