 LDAPv3 servers publish schema elements in special {{subschema}}

+entries (or subentries).  While {{slapd}}(8) publishes a single
+subschema subentry normally named {{EX:cn=Subschema}}, this behavior
+cannot be expected from other servers.  The subschema subentry
+controlling a particular entry can be obtained by examining the

 To obtain the schema from a subschema subentry, you can use
 ldapsearch(1) as follows (replace the search base as needed):
 
 >	ldapsearch -LLL -x -b "cn=Subschema" -s base "(objectclass=subschema)" attributeTypes objectClasses
 
+where "cn=Subschema" is the value of subschemaSubentry returned in
+the prior search.

 This will return {{TERM:LDIF}} output containing many type/value
 pairs.  The following is an abbreviated example:
 
 >	dn: cn=Subschema
+>	objectClasses: ( 1.1.2.2.2 NAME 'myPerson' DESC 'my person' SUP inet
