Yes I created mine in the dse.ldif as well a while back. Though I put the user into an LDIF file and used ldapmodify to add it.

cat replication_manager.ldif 

dn: cn=replication manager,cn=config
objectClass: inetorgperson
objectClass: person
objectClass: top
cn: replication manager
sn: manager
userPassword: (cleartext password)
passwordExpirationTime: 20380119031407Z
nsIdleTimeout: 0

Stop dirsrv

ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -W -f replication_manager.ldif

Start dirsrv


grep "dn: cn=replication manager" -A 15 /etc/dirsrv/slapd-kat-ds-02/dse.ldif

dn: cn=replication manager,cn=config
objectClass: inetorgperson
objectClass: person
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalPerson
cn: replication manager
sn: manager
passwordExpirationTime: 20380119031407Z
nsIdleTimeout: 0
userPassword:: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==
creatorsName: cn=directory manager
modifiersName: cn=directory manager
createTimestamp: 20120708014028Z
modifyTimestamp: 20120708014028Z

However, although Red Hat recommends not storing simple user entries under cn=config for performance reasons, it can be useful to store special user entries such as the Directory Manager entry or replication manager (supplier bind DN) entry under cn=config since this centralizes configuration information.

  1. Stop the Directory Server. If the server is not stopped, the changes to the dse.ldif file will not be saved. See Section 1.3, “Starting and Stopping Servers” for more information on stopping the server.
  2. Create a new entry, such as cn=replication manager,cn=config, in the dse.ldif file.

Ok.  Please file a doc bug.  We should not encourage people to edit the dse.ldif when it is not necessary.



I cannot give the error message now, as I'm not at customer site. When I get back to office, I will give the exact error.

Thanks.

Hi all,

According to RH document, if you want to create the replication user, you must edit the dse.ldif file and put the user information there.

No.  Where does it say that you must edit the dse.ldif?



I tried to use 389-console, create user (which use uid=repman) then try to enable cn=repman, but there is error saying that directory server refuse to do the renaming.

Can you provide the exact error message?


What is the correct way to create cn=repman only by using 389 console?

Thanks.
