Hi Dustin, thanks for your response. I am just a newbie in openLDAP technology. I need this for egroupware server which is based on OpenLDAP for user authentication, storage of user and group information and for LDAP based addressbook. Hence I am looking for a solution which can allow me to do maintenance and reparing of OpenLDAP bdb database. > -- > Puryear IT, LLC > Identity Management, Directory Services, Systems Integration > Baton Rouge, LA * 225-706-8414 * http://www.puryear-it.com > > "Best Practices for Managing Linux and UNIX Servers" > http://www.puryear-it.com/pubs/linux-unix-best-practices > > > JOYDEEP wrote: > >> Dear list, >> >> I am newbie in OpenLDAP.
