Hai,
I am using Fedora Directory Server 7.1 on CentOS 4.3 (SMP kernal).
Now i want to administer FDS from the command line.so i am using
ldapadd,ldapmodify,ldapdelete ... commands.
I have no problem in adding an organizational unit or user to the
directory.
I am getting problem while try to add a new root suffix to the FDS from
the command line.
This is the process i am following to add a new root suffix
1) The ldif file (root.ldif) contains the following attributes
corresponds to the root entry
dn: cn="dc=newroot,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config
objectclass: dcobject
objectclass: top
objectClass: domain
objectclass: extensibleObject
objectclass: nsMappingTree
nsslapd-state: backend
nsslapd-backend: newdb
cn: dc=newroot,dc=com
dc: newroot
2) Then i am using ldap add command to add the root suffix which is
defined in the ldif file(root.ldif)
ldapadd -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w testingdir -f root.ldif
This command is get executed perfectly.Then i opened the FDS console.
Perhaps there is no error in the log file too.
3) Click Directory server > configuration
I have the entry for "newroot" and "newdb" is the database
assigned to
the database.
But I think you did not define the database "newdb".
See
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/entry_dist.html#18238
You should add an entry that looks like this:
dn: cn=newdb,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectclass: extensibleObject
objectclass: nsBackendInstance
nsslapd-suffix: dc=newroot,dc=com
4) Then If i open the Directory server > directory window i am not
having
a directory entry for the newly created root suffix.
Finally, you need to add
an actual _entry_. The directory browser
window only shows you entries. Defining a suffix and a database does
not actually add any data/entries to the newly created suffix. You need
to add an entry like this:
dn: dc=newroot,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: domain
dc: newroot
I don't have any problem if i create the root suffix from the GUI
mode.
The console does a lot of this behind the scenes.
What could be the problem?
Can anyone pls help me to get rid of the problem?
Is there is any documentation available for administrating the Fedora
Directory server from the command line with trouble shooting
methods.(Now i am using Fedors DS administration guide.)
Thanks in advance.
