What do you mean by "LDAP administration database"?
AFAIK changes have to be made in the names.nsf. The schema50.nsf shows
only the effect of your changes.
Am I wrong?

Another general question:
How knows an non-domino application, that a users authentification is 
correct?
The application gets user and pw from the users fingers. What happens then?
I can export cn= und httppassword= by the LDAP-Servertask. So it can by 
used by the app. The pw is encrypted. But if the app knows, how domino 
encrypts the field, the app. can encrypt the users not encrypted pw and 
then compare the LDAP-entry with the tipped and encrypted pw.
How does domino encrypt the pw?
Or is it quite simpler?
