+psycopg (Ubuntu ships only its pure-Python implementation) finds libpq through the dynamic linker
+cache, which dpkg refreshes with its deferred `ldconfig` only at the end of an installation, so a
+service started during the installation cannot import it yet; a failed import cannot be repeated
+in the same process either, as psycopg caches the lookup. The services therefore import psycopg
+plainly, and their units wait instead: `ExecStartPre=wait-for-libpq`, a shell script of each
+package, waits until `ldconfig -p` lists `libpq.so.5`, within `TimeoutStartSec=5min`. The
+maintainer scripts start the units with `systemctl --no-block` (debhelper's start is turned off),
+because a start that waited would hold dpkg before its `ldconfig`.

+does not matter; a database that cannot be created is retried until the cause is gone, and the
+reason is in the service's log. Outside an installation the wait ends at once. The web unit may

 ## ADR-17: Bootstrap diagnostics run only until the first setup succeeds

+## ADR-18: Manager-only accounts are a second kind of user; the package can create the first admin
+
+Status: Accepted
+
+Context: The Router Manager needs a first administrator before anyone has added users, as other
+packages create a default user from their debconf answers. Such an account, and others that only
+manage the router, have no person behind them and need no VPN access. A VPN user is an
+`inetOrgPerson`, which requires a last name and a common name, and its certificate needs the
+names. The Manager is configured before the router's directory exists during an installation.
+
+Decision: A user is one of two kinds in `ou=users`, fixed when it is added: a VPN user, an
+`inetOrgPerson` with the three person attributes and a certificate, or a Manager-only account,
+an `account`, `simpleSecurityObject` and `vpnRouterAccount` (ADR-19) with the name, the password,
+an optional e-mail address for notifications, and no certificate. `add` with all three person
+attributes adds a VPN user and without the first and the last name a Manager-only account; one
+name without the rest is refused. The CLI and the API add both kinds; the Manager's dialog
+requires the names unless Manager access only is chosen, which offers the e-mail address only.
+Answers carry `manager_only`, and `update` changes only the e-mail address of a Manager-only
+account. The Manager's package asks `admin_username` and `admin_password`; with both
+it writes them to a root-only file, clears the answers, and `vpn-router-setup` creates the account
+after it provisions the directory, adds it to `admins` (creating the group when missing) and
+removes the file. Without a name nothing is created. `vpnrouter_users` knows only the directory,
+so setup can use it before PostgreSQL's driver can be loaded; `web` and `vpn-router-user` revoke
+refresh tokens after the operations of `vpnrouter_auth.REVOKING`.
+
+Consequences: A Manager-only account cannot become a VPN user, as LDAP cannot change an entry's
+structural class and its password hash cannot be copied; it is removed and added again instead.
+It has no certificate, so OpenVPN and road-warrior access refuse it. The administrator's password
+is on disk only until setup has run.
+
+## ADR-19: The package has an LDAP schema of its own under a UUID OID
+
+Status: Accepted
+
+Context: A Manager-only account (ADR-18) is an `account`, which allows no `mail`, yet notifications
+need an address for it; no standard auxiliary class allows `mail` except `extensibleObject`, which
+allows every attribute. Authorization scopes for users of both kinds may follow. An attribute or
+class of its own needs an OID, and the package has no registered arc.
+
+Decision: The package defines its schema, `cn=vpn-router,cn=schema,cn=config`, which
+`vpnrouter_ldap.provision` adds when missing and keeps as `SCHEMA_ATTRIBUTE_TYPES` and
+`SCHEMA_OBJECT_CLASSES`. Its OID is `2.25.98477352595735834532404256531620013001`, made from a
+random UUID under the arc 2.25 (ITU-T X.667), which needs no registration; attribute types are
+under `.1` and object classes under `.2`. The first version has the attribute `vpnRouterScope`
+(multi-valued, case-insensitive strings) and the auxiliary class `vpnRouterAccount`,
+`MAY ( mail $ vpnRouterScope )`. Manager-only accounts have the class from their creation, so an
+e-mail address can be added later without changing their classes; VPN users get it once scopes are
+used.
+
+Consequences: The schema check stays strict. New attributes extend `vpnRouterAccount`, and their
+OIDs continue the arcs. Nothing reads `vpnRouterScope` yet. The OID must never be reused for
+anything else.
