Extract ADAM schema

Question

I have been asked to extract the schema information in my client's ADAM setup. I need to get a full list of attributes along with whether the attribute is mandatory or optional. Is there a tool which can help me get just the schema?

The other task the client needs is to extract all the data in their ADAM setup, but I believe CSVDE can do that.

I have never worked with ADAM before, so any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Working with ADAM is quite the same as working with AD.

You can export your schema using :

ldifde -f schema.ldf -d "CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=SILOGIX-ESS01,DC=local"

Where "CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=SILOGIX-ESS01,DC=local" comes from the RooTDSE entry schemaNamingContext.

You should use Apache Directory Studio, this tool allow you to graphicaly analyse your schema.
