Subject: LDAP Schema: Failed loading - help please
hm, do you have your domino server on an active directory server ? for my test i had to run Domino6 on a active directory y2k server, and LDAP port was in conflict… try to change LDAP port (default 389 if i remember) in domino…
i also needed to add syncAD and run it for working.
Just had the same problem, and deleted the schema.nsf - no effect. Then I compacted. No effect. Fixup. Nope. By then I was desparate and took a peek into the schema.ntf and - lo and behold! - they looked not at all alike, the outline had gone missing from the NSF. So I did a File - Database - Refresh Design and now everything works again. LDAP loads without a hitch.
Conclusion: somehow the LDAP task can fail (silently - not good IBM, remember the commandment “Thou shall not fail silently”) when creating the schema.nsf. A design update may take care of the problem if everything else fails. Symptoms include the LDAP task just quitting and the schema.nsf not looking quite like the schema.ntf (details may vary).

Not sure what the root cause was, but as we had made no changes to the default schema, I just deleted the schema.nsf on all my servers and then issued “load ldap” at the console:
26/02/2003 10:33:36 LDAP Server: Starting…
26/02/2003 10:33:36 LDAP Server: Serving directory names.nsf in the notmyrealdomain.com Internet domain
26/02/2003 10:33:36 LDAP Schema: Started loading…
26/02/2003 10:33:38 LDAP Schema: Finished loading
26/02/2003 10:33:40 LDAP Server: Started
I guess the schema must have got corrupted somehow, but I can’t see how exactly.
