Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
.Directory Server warns about missing attributes in the schema if those attributes are used in a search filter If you set the `nsslapd-verify-filter-schema` parameter to `warn-invalid`, Directory Server processes search operations with attributes that are not defined in the schema and logs a warning. With this setting, Directory Server returns requested attributes in search results, regardless whether the attributes is defined in the schema or not. A future version of Directory Server will change the default setting of `nsslapd-verify-filter-schema` to enforce stricter checks. The new default will warn about attributes that are missing in the schema, and reject requests or return only partial results.

Comment 9 Viktor Ashirov 2020-02-07 11:56:49 UTC
The default value is warn-invalid:
# ldapsearch -D cn=Directory\ manager -w Directory_Manager_Password -b cn=config  nsslapd-verify-filter-schema | grep nsslapd-verify-filter-schema 
# requesting: nsslapd-verify-filter-schema 
nsslapd-verify-filter-schema: warn-invalid

And the tests pass:
