Just to follow up my own questions: I really love ApacheDS because of the sheer beauty and simplicity of its setup and configuration but I find some rather odd behaviour the more I dig into internals:
4. I tried to query the RootDSE object via Python - without sucess - then I tried the same with OpenLDAP's ldapsearch: same issue: thors...@tkampe% ldapsearch -x -LLL -b "" -s base dn: objectClass: extensibleObject objectClass: top ...while the same queries work against an eDirectory and Active Directory server. It also seems that LDAP clients have problems displaying the RootDSE object: Softerra's six year old LDAP Browser and Apache Directory Studio can display the RootDSE object while LDAP Admin and LDAPSoft's LDAP Browser can't. What's going on here? Thorsten
