Subject: OpenLDAP schema

Hi,

I've tried to use the directory API with OpenLDAP schema. I've got 
errors like this:

ERR_04306 Cannot find a Syntax object 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.3 while 
building cross-references for the attributeTypes AttributeType.

... and for a good reason. OpenLDAP (2.4.31) does not declare syntax 
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.3 in its schema. Yes, I know that OpenLDAP 
2.4.31 is a bit old, but it is in debian-derived distributions and 
therefore it is quite popular. So I really look for a way how to support it.

What do you think would be the best way to do this? Should these error 
be muted when a quirks mode is on? Or is that too much and we need 
something like superquirks mode? ;-) The studio obviously works with 
OpenLDAP. Does anybody know how does the studio manages this?
