When I try to add apple.schema to my OpenLDAP running on Debian this is the error I get;

root@directory:~# ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f apple.schema 
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
ldapadd: invalid format (line 1) entry: ""

ldapadd: invalid format (line 68) entry: ""
ldapadd: invalid format (line 76) entry: ""
ldapadd: invalid format (line 91) entry: ""
ldapadd: invalid format (line 99) entry: ""
ldapadd: invalid format (line 107) entry: ""
... keeps going ... 
... all the way to ... 
ldapadd: invalid format (line 1680) entry: ""
ldapadd: invalid format (line 1686) entry: ""
ldapadd: invalid format (line 1692) entry: ""

I've Googled and gotten nothing. Not sure where else to turn. Any suggestions would be great. Help me reddit, you're my only hope.

psst! Hey you! Yeah you, the confused looking dude! This isn't reddit! :-)

Also, more importantly, that's not how you add schemas in OpenLDAP (see the manual) --
You want to add an include /path/to/the/schema/file directive to the LDAP server's configuration file (/etc/openldap/slapd.conf).

Something like

    include /etc/openldap/schema/apple.schema

will probably do, assuming you put Apple's schema file in the appropriate location...

    @AaronCopley maybe later tonight when I'm not amused by it anymore - I mean we have to have some fun in our lives, right? – voretaq7 Aug 08 '12 at 22:47
  • .... I feel dumb. Here I go try that now. – David Neudorfer Aug 08 '12 at 22:51
  • where did you get the schema extensions? – SpacemanSpiff Aug 08 '12 at 23:00
  • @SpacemanSpiff Easiest place is `/private/etc/openldap/schema/` on a mac, but I believe they're floating around on the Apple website somewhere too – voretaq7 Aug 08 '12 at 23:03
  • Ok @voretaq7 so that worked and I didn't get an error when I added the lines but now I get a `8/8/12 4:05:33 PM Workgroup Manager[13753] void -[LoginController gotServerError:forTransaction:](LoginController*, objc_selector*, objc_object*, XSAdminTransaction*): got error kNetworkError from request (null)` – David Neudorfer Aug 08 '12 at 23:07
  • Thought it might be a dns error and it was. fixed the dns. now this; `8/8/12 4:11:01.103 PM Workgroup Manager[46635]: -[LoginController gotServerError:forTransaction:]: got error kNetworkError from request (null)` looks like the same thing I think. – David Neudorfer Aug 08 '12 at 23:11
