Hi Emmanuel, I have just created DIRSERVER-1191.
I tried to create another user and to give him the rights. I'm using ACI mechanism. For my own partition it works fine, but when I try to use this user in Studio, I can not browse the tree anymore, I see only the RootDSE, nothing more. How can I grant permissions for this user on the system/schema tree? I tried to supply an administrativeRole and accessControlSubentry in the schema tree, but I got the error, that this is not allowed here.

FYI, we have already had many discussion about what should be done regarding the admin user. I would say that defining a configurable admin user make sense. I also would suggest that you fill a JIRA in order to remind us to do it when we have a couple of days to deal with this issue. Btw, why not considering creating another user which will be a kind of admin ? The current admin is mainly used the first time you launch the server, in order to be able to 'bootstrap' the server, and also for internal manipulation of data. As soon as you have created a new user, assigned it the correct access, then you will be all done. -- -- cordialement, regards, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com directory.apache.org
