A tree administrator user with credentials to do so can use the OES Installation extend_schema command to extend the eDirectory schema before a cluster is installed anywhere in a tree. This allows container administrators (or non-administrator users) to install a cluster in a container in that same tree without needing full administrator rights for the tree. You need to extend the schema only one time in the tree where you will be installing clusters.
/opt/novell/oes-install/util/extend_schema --port <port_num> <admin_username> <admin_password> <ldap_server_ip_address> <schema_file>
To extend the schema, the tree administrator user modifies the following schema files in the given order:
/opt/novell/ncs/schema/ncs.ldif
/opt/novell/ncs/schema/ncpserver.preldif
Replace the parameters with the credentials to access and location of the eDirectory schema files.
