Yeah, I've been running an old 1.0 version. Looks like the latest
releases are ... not suitable, to be polite. Guess I'll be checking out
luma myself. :-)

Hi there, interesting topic, making me wonder (excuse my ignorance if 
nec.):
- is there a kind of GUI that does just represent the LDAP tree as XML, 
so you could edit keys and structures in an ascii way?


I am pretty sure that you can ex-/import LDAP to XML, but what I mean 
is a realtime access to current values.


Not XML, but ldapdiff is otherwise close to what you describe.

Just wondering

Thank you for the tip.  I'm updating
http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/LUMA__a_very_nice_LDAP_GUI.html>.

Looking at the package, I believe it will be missing in Squeeze too,
as it is unmaintained and got a release criticial bug.  It probably
never left sid/unstable, but seem unlikely to make it to any Debian
release in its current state.

Happy hacking,

I should mention, it looks like gq was packaged for etch, lost for
lenny, but is back in sid.

Hello Petter (and the list):
As requested, I'm forwarding comments here about what GUI clients seem
to work for LDAP. I've used "gq" for some time. It seems to work for
browsing as well as updating values, though I haven't tried major tree
surgery (moving objects, removing subtrees) with it. This is the classic
sort of area that I find a gui useful, if it's sufficently powerful: I
do LDAP maintenance seldom enough that I tend to forget the finicky (but
powerful) syntax. If I need to do more than update a few values (repoint
someone's NFS automount homedir, for ex.) I refresh the neurons needed
to write the ldapmodify script.
