Hi,
Can you explain the difference between root user of openldap and
directory manager? Specifically where do we use the root user and
password in openldap administration?
Hi,
Your question makes little sense. "root" is a unix user. It may or may
not (depending on the slapd configuration) have the ability to directly
manipulate data in the LDAP server. That would depend entirely on your
configuration. There is no such thing as a specific "directory manager".
There /may/ be a rootdn defined for the various databases, that may or may
not be identical per database. There may also be access rules that allow
other DNs to provide management functions. Without details on your
configuration/setup, there's no way to answer your question.
