Also, if the schema name is a valid LDAP name with no spaces or colons, no mappings are
required. You should examine the class and attribute mapping and reconfigure as needed.

Mapping LDAP Classes and Attributes
Because the schemas of the LDAP directory and the eDirectory directory are different, mapping
LDAP classes and attributes to the appropriate eDirectory objects and attributes is necessary. These
mappings define the name conversion from the LDAP schema to the eDirectory schema.
No LDAP schema mappings are required for a schema entry if the name is a valid LDAP schema
name. In LDAP, the only characters allowed in a schema name are alphanumeric characters and
hyphens (-). No spaces are allowed in an LDAP schema name.
To ensure that searching by object IDs works after a schema extension other than LDAP, such as for
.sch files, you must refresh the LDAP server configuration if the schema is extended outside of
LDAP.
Many-to-One Mappings
To support LDAP from eDirectory, LDAP Services uses mappings in the protocol level (instead of
the directory service level) to translate between LDAP and eDirectory attributes and classes.
Because of this, two LDAP classes or attributes can be mapped to the same eDirectory class or
attribute.
For example, if you create a Cn through LDAP and then search for CommonName=Value, you will
get back a commonName, which might be the same attribute value for Cn.
If you request all attributes, you get the attribute that is first in the mappings list for that class. If you
ask for an attribute by name, you will get the correct name.
