How does an LDAP Client eg Apache Directory Studio get schema from an LDAP Server?

Question

I understand that LDAP Clients request for Schemas in a series of search requests.

I need to understand the exact sequence in which the client makes the calls to the server, and what the server returns as a result.

Can anyone explain or point to where I can look for this information?

Both questions here are off topic. Congrats. – Jun 10 '15 at 00:32 — , Jun 10 '15 at 00:32

For MOST LDAP server implementations, you can follow the information supplied at https://ldapwiki.com/wiki/LDAP%20Query%20For%20Schema

This would output the schema into a LDIF file.
