The schema is how things are laid out in LDAP (context, organizational unit, etc.). Modules are what plug-ins you have, such as PAM modules, NIS modules, etc.
Hai LQ friends
I am practicing openldap-2.3 in RHEL5 box. I am confusing with this words "schema" "modules". What is schema and what is modules?
A very short answer (in rough terms):
A module is a program called to do something - it may be a password program, database backend, or similar.
A schema is like a database field definition (but more than that).
Have a look at slapd.conf for an idea of some of the module options that are common, and in /etc/openldap/schema for some of the schema files and what they contain.
