| Hi I was wondering how I could add an entry with custom attributes not
defined in schema. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for responding

Hi Okpe!
I would recommend to add your custom attributes to the schema first (and
use them afterwards within your entries). For ApacheDS 1.5, this is
quite easy. An approach with examples is documented here:
http://directory.apache.org/apached...the-schema.html
Without schema checking enabled, you will easily loose integrity within
your directory data.
Please note, that we also have a user mailing list. If you have specific
questions during attribute definition, it is probably more appropriate
to post there.

Basically, the short answer is : no, you can't.
Every AttributeType must be declared before being used.

| Thanks for your response. Seems like apacheDS 1.5 is what I need but
it's still unstable, you have any idea as to timeframe for a stable
release of version 1.5.

Unstable does not mean that the server is unusable. It simply means that
the server list of features can evolve until 2.0.
We are really trying to release a version (even when called unstable)
which is usable. 1.5.1 is much "stable", and also much faster, than
1.0.2, trust me on that !
