I've Googled and gotten nothing. Not sure where else to turn. Any suggestions would be great. Help me reddit, you're my only hope.

    psst! Hey you! Yeah you, the confused looking dude! This isn't reddit! :-)

    Also, more importantly, that's not how you add schemas in OpenLDAP (see the manual) --
    You want to add an include /path/to/the/schema/file directive to the LDAP server's configuration file (/etc/openldap/slapd.conf).

    Something like

        include /etc/openldap/schema/apple.schema

    will probably do, assuming you put Apple's schema file in the appropriate location...
