thanks in advance
It is necessary to have a partition called ou=system, which holds system
related stuff (like the entry for the admin user). But as Ersin already
explained, you can have more partitions. I just wanted to add that the
default configuration server.xml already contains a second partition
with suffix "dc=example,dc=com". You may use this as a template for your
own.
Yes Stefan is right there are two partitions in the stock ApacheDS
installation. These hang off of two roots (suffixes or namingContexts
in LDAP jargon):
ou=system
dc=example,dc=com
You can add more partitions to the server as you need or just change the
one for dc=exaple,dc=com to suite your needs.
Good luck,
Alex
