How to add a new schema to openldap 2.4.11 ?

Or just do this single line

Code:

ldapadd -x -W -D 'cn=config' -f /etc/openldap/schema/misc.ldif

Why make things harder than it is, with every schema that follows with Openldap there is a ldif file for it this is ready to be imported if needed. I can mention that this worked just fine in Slackware 14.0 with Openldap 2.4.31.

Daniela(daniela1611), thanks for the help. I used windows version of ldap where we can include new schema file in slapd.conf, while migrating to linux which doesn't have this slapd.conf, i spent lot of time on adding new schema. At last your solution helped me. Once again thanks for your solution.

Great Daniela!!!! My ldap runs on Ubuntu server 16.06. Now I have successfully imported samba schema using your command:
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /tmp/borrame.d/cn\=config/cn\=schema/cn\=\{5\}mypersonalschema.ldif

Thanks!!!!
