How to build a ldap server that is same schema as active directory

Question

I want to build a stub server using apacheds that has same schema as active directory.

We need to add custom attribute like: userAccountControl, unicodePwd, ..etc.

I have no idea how to add this to the default schema programmatically. Any idea?

apacheds version 2.0.0-M10

Thanks!

Use Apache DS Studio to define your own schema. You can use attributes and object classes from core, cosine or other schemas. Actually you can take MS AD schema and define the required object classes and attributes.

You probably will not be able to import AD schema directly in Apache DS as the formats would vary (even if they are both in LDIF), however, you can create the same classes and attributes in Apache DS schema (I recommend using different OIDs than MS).

You can then import the schema LDIF to Apache DS.
