Add dialog to create a new context entry
----------------------------------------
Key: DIRSTUDIO-385
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-385
Project: Directory Studio
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: studio-ldapbrowser
Affects Versions: 1.2.1
Environment: ApacheDS 1.5.3 SNAPSHOT
Reporter: Stefan Zoerner
Priority: Minor
If someone creates a partition for ApacheDS and does not add a context entry in
the configuration of the server.xml (possible with ApacheDS 1.5.4 and above),
it can't be used. A context entry has to be added first with the help of an
LDAP add command.
Unfortunately, this is not possible with Apache Directory Studio 1.2.0, id the
DN of the suffix contains more than one RDN. For instance, New Entry does not
work for the entry dc=example,dc=com
I recommend a new menu item called "Add new context entry" or "Add new suffix",
which is comparable to the Add entry dialog, but allows the user to provide the
complete DN without a parent.
A highlight would be, if the dialog detects possible values from the
namingContexts attribute from the Root DSE. If a new partition has been added
to the server.xml, it is listed there. See here for details:
