LDAP rfc2307bis.schema or nis.schema?

Hi guys,

we are implementing new ldap in our organization exclusively for Linux authentication purposes. As we are new to the subject, I would appreciate help regarding which schema to use to create group of users and accounts / passwords entries? I see both schemas listed in subject above have all required object classes and attributes, but apparently nis schema needs "hack" to be able to use groupsOfNames object class. Also apparently rfc2307bis is obsolete but still in use?! Are there any compatibility issues using one or the other? Any advise which one to use, any pros or cons?



Much appreciated


Kind Regards

NAME
schema-reload.pl - Directory Server perl script for updating the schema. SYNOPSIS
schema-reload.pl [-Z serverID] [-D rootdn] { -w password | -w - | -j filename } [-P protocol] [-d schemadir] [-v] [-h] DESCRIPTION
Manually reloads the schema files used by the Directory Server instance, either in the default location, or in user-specified locations. OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below: -Z Server Identifier The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped. -D Root DN The Directory Manager DN, or root DN. If not specified, the script will search the server instance configuration for the value. -w password The rootdn password. -w - Prompt for the rootdn password. -j password filename The name of the file that contains the root DN password. -d schemadir Gives the full path to the directory where the schema file is located. If this is not specified, the script uses the default schema directory, /etc/dirsrv/schema. -P protocol The connection protocol to connect to the Directory Server. Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP. If this option is skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used. For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user. -v Display verbose ouput -h Display usage EXAMPLE
schema-reload.pl -Z instance3 -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password -P STARTTLS -d /LDAP/schema/ Note: security must be enabled to use protocol STARTTLS. If STARTTLS is not available it will default to next strongest/available protocol automatically. DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error. AUTHOR
