I am using winxp (/vista on another machine). I am using apache directory studio to do the editing etc.
I am attempting to create a new suffix besides : "dc=example,dc=com" I am using directions here : http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/144-adding-your-own-partition-resp-suffix.html i tried to add another suffix so now my C:\Program Files\Apache Directory Server\instances\default\conf\server.xml file looks like this : <partitions> <!-- NOTE: when specifying new partitions you need not include those --> <!-- attributes below with OID's which are the system indices, if left --> <!-- out they will be automatically configured for you with defaults. --> <jdbmPartition id="example" cacheSize="100" suffix="dc=example,dc=com" optimizerEnabled="true" syncOnWrite="true"> <indexedAttributes> <jdbmIndex attributeId="1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.0.4.1.2.1" cacheSize="100"/> <jdbmIndex attributeId="1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.0.4.1.2.2" cacheSize="100"/> <jdbmIndex attributeId="1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.0.4.1.2.3" cacheSize="100"/> <jdbmIndex attributeId="1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.0.4.1.2.4" cacheSize="100"/> <jdbmIndex attributeId="1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.0.4.1.2.5" cacheSize="10"/> <jdbmIndex attributeId="1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.0.4.1.2.6" cacheSize="10"/> <jdbmIndex attributeId="1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.0.4.1.2.7" cacheSize="10"/> <jdbmIndex attributeId="dc" cacheSize="100"/> <jdbmIndex attributeId="ou" cacheSize="100"/> <jdbmIndex attributeId="krb5PrincipalName" cacheSize="100"/> <jdbmIndex attributeId="uid" cacheSize="100"/> <jdbmIndex attributeId="objectClass" cacheSize="100"/> </indexedAttributes> </jdbmPartition> <jdbmPartition id="sevenSeas" suffix="o=sevenSeas" /> </partitions> When I go through the Directory Studio to try to view this I cannot. So I stored this in an ldif file : -- dn: o=sevenSeas o: sevenSeas objectClass: top objectClass: organization description: The context entry for suffix o=sevenSeas -- Then i tried to import the ldif file but i get the error: Error while importing LDIF Record is invalid Record is invalid I try to use the GUI and right click on the connections->properties and expand the ROOT DSE and I cannot see the view described in the image below the lines "If you connect with an LDAP Browser (Apache Directory Studio for instance), the partition is only visible in the Root DSE. Below the Properties dialog of Directory Studio for the Root DSE after connecting to an ApacheDS instance configured like above." I also cannot see ( dc=example, dc=com ) even though right under neath the "DIT" node the Root DSE node says "Root DSE (3)" So again I try to create a copy of the ou=system. I right click on ou=system and try to copy Entry / dn and try to paste that and just use the object (not entire subtree). I get the following copy entry error : Error while copying entry [LDAP: error code 32 - NO_SUCH_OBJECT: failed for Add Request : ClientEntry dn: 2.5.4.11=people objectclass: organizationalUnit objectclass: extensibleObject objectclass: top ou: people : ou=people] [LDAP: error code 32 - NO_SUCH_OBJECT: failed for Add Request : ClientEntry dn: 2.5.4.11=people objectclass: organizationalUnit objectclass: extensibleObject objectclass: top ou: people : ou=people] As you can see I was only trying to add ou=people. So the problems currently are: 1) I cannot see dc=example, dc=com 2) I cannot add a suffix Someone please update the docs and make them more updated and / or give me the link to a directory server that is not so difficult to manage. Thanks.
