Emmanuel Lecharny updated DIRSERVER-945:
----------------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 1.5.1

Not sure this is still a problem, I think the doco has been improved.

I gonna double check it

> When launching the server without any configuration, each bind request 
> produce an exception because the ConigureChain is looking for a searchBaseDn 
> entry, which default to "ou=users,dc=example,dc=com" in server.xml :
>     <!-- The base DN containing users that can be SASL authenticated.       
> -->
>     <property name="searchBaseDn" value="ou=users,dc=example,dc=com" />
> There are two problems with this value
> - this DN does not exists in the DIT, so the lookup will always fail
> - when using SIMPLE authentication, the server should *not* issue a lookup fo 
> this DN which is dedicated to SASL, AFAIK.
> Note that the documentation is not clear about what is this searchBaseDN :
> "The single location where entries are stored. The definition of "entries" 
> depends on the protocol. For example, for LDAP, Kerberos, and Change 
> Password, entries are users for purposes of authentication. For DNS, entries 
> are resource records. If this property is not set the store will search the 
> system partition configuration for catalog entries. Catalog support is highly 
> experimental and is only tested in the OSGi build of ApacheDS using the 
> Config Admin service."
> We are using partitions to store data, "ou=system" is one of those partition, 
> "dc=example, dc=com" is another one, but as partitions should *not* overlap, 
> "ou=users,dc=example,dc=com" can't be a partition. Of course, *if* this is a 
> partition, which is not clear for me reading the above explanaition.
> It would be good to improve this part of the doco for better clarity.
