Greg Haber commented on DNA-106:
--------------------------------

Right, just the metadata.  Just talking about processing the results of javax.naming.ldap.LdapContext.getSchema:

"The schema describes rules regarding the structure of the namespace and the attributes stored within it. The schema specifies what types of objects can be added to the directory and where they can be added; what mandatory and optional attributes an object can have."

> Create a connector for the federation engine that contributes and exposes the schema information for an LDAP directory (probably via JNDI, as it provides standard classes/methods for retrieving schema information - see http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/ldap/schema/jndi.html) into the federated repository. As with relational sources, one choice would be whether to import (and copy) the schema structure, or to provide access to it in real time.  Since in practice this information rarely changes for a given directory importing is probably more acceptable here than for relational sources.
