Thanks for the reply as I mentioned in my previous email I assumed
that when I created the sub suffix database for dc=b,dc=example,dc=com
it would automaticly add the dn to the database but it doesn't so I
manualy added it and it works now.
For clarity that step should be added to the documentation.
The way I figured it out is I just tried to add a new subdomain
without adding a sub suffix and I got a warning message saying I may
wan to add the sub suffix first
When I created the sub suffix/subdomain, I used the Console. Here's
what I did.
Open Dorectory Console.
Choose Configuration tab
Choose the parent suffix under Data (dc=example,dc=com, in my example)
Right click shows a menu; choose "New Sub Suffix".
Fill "New Suffix" and "Database name" box
Then, the new sub suffix is generated (e.g., dc=B,dc=example,dc=com")
Expand the new sub suffix; choose the underlying database (having the
Database name you assigned)
Right click shows a menu; choose "Initialize database"
Give the ldif file to initialize the sub suffix/subdomain.
Thanks,
--noriko

Hello every one
I have a strange problem Im trying to use 389 server in a large
organization and i have to break the directory into several sub
suffixes or root suffixes.
there is the scenario
I work for Large company A
Large company A owns
1) subsidiary b
2) subsidiary c
3) subsidiary d
Large company A uses domain example.com <http://example.com>
subsidiary b uses domain b.example.com <http://b.example.com>
subsidiary c uses domain c.example.com <http://c.example.com>
subsidiary d uses domain d.example.com <http://d.example.com>
I would like to separate each of the subsidiaries into their
own sub
suffix partially because of security reasons also to minimize
unneeded
replication for local read only slaves at the subsidiary
sites, and I
would also like the administrator at each subsidiary to have the
option of manage their own users or having the administrators
at the
parent company do it for them.
now creating the sub suffix with its own database is fairly well
documented and works well with ou's but doesn't seem to work with
dc's
if i create the new suffix as a dc and go into the users and
groups in
the console and try to add a user to the new dc it wont let
me. if i
use the Users drop down menu and try to change directory and
set the
base to the new dc (e.g. dc=b,dc=example,dc=com) it tells me
the dc
isn't valid
I also tried creating a root suffix and ran into the same
problem so
what am i missing?
Is there some initial database population step I didn't see in the
documentation or do i need to setup some ACIs or what?
There should not be any problem to create sub suffix starting with
"dc".
$ ldapsearch -LLLx [...] -b "dc=example,dc=com" dn
dn: dc=example,dc=com
dn: dc=B,dc=example,dc=com
dn: dc=C,dc=example,dc=com
dn: dc=D,dc=example,dc=com
I put dc=B in Broot, dc=C in Croot, and dc=D in Droot.
$ ls /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-ID/db
Broot/ DBVERSION NetscapeRoot/ __db.002 __db.004 __db.006
userRoot/
Croot/ Droot/ __db.001 __db.003 __db.005 log.0000000001
Do you see any errors in the error log?
/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-ID/errors
