I am new to LDAP and more specifically FDS. I had an OpenLDAP server setup a year or so ago which I used an older version of phpldapadmin with. It seemed to work without too much trouble, but I can't seem to get either FDS or OpenLDAP working with phpldapamdin.
I found some information in the list archives as well as other places, but my problem seems to be still existing.
The error I get from phpLDAPadmin
Could not determine the root of your LDAP tree. It appears that the LDAP server has been configured to not reveal its root. Please specify it in config.php
I would really like to use FDS and have it running what I consider very well. I am not able to get this plugged into it and I really don't know enough yet on where to look to configure either FDS to reveal its root or phpldapadmin to know what the rootDSE is set to?
Any help would be great. I have read the docs, but just need a little push in the right direction.

In PLA you have config.php, you can define your base as follows: $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','base',array('dc=your,dc=base'));

In your phpLDAPadmin config, you need to set this:
/* Array of base DNs of your LDAP server. Leave this blank to have * phpLDAPadmin auto-detect it for you. */ // $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','base',array(''));
It should be an array of the DNs you want to appear there.
Thanks, I had tried this last night, but will give it another go today.
At least I know I was in the right place.
I just ran into the same problem using 'ldapsearch' yesterday. Out of curiosity, whats the reasoning behind FDS not supplying a default root? Is it common practice to set it somewhere once you've setup your tree, or is it deliberately omitted for some compatibility or security reason?

I think, primarily, its because a typical installation of FDS (and for a long time before it, Netscape DS) has multiple roots.

I'm not sure what this means. What is a default root and how can FDS supply it?
I think one of the problems is that phpldapadmin depends on being able to do the following query: ldapsearch -s base -b "" "(objectclass=*)" "*" "+" The "+" is a special openldap-only (but now an rfc I think) extension which tells the server to return all operational attributes. The list of suffixes (i.e. "roots") is an operational attribute - namingContexts - in the rootdse. If you could find the section in phpldapadmin where it queries the rootdse, and you add this attribute to the search operation attribute list, that may solve the problem.
Another problem could be with anonymous access control - see here - http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:phpLdapAdmin
Is it common practice to set it somewhere once you've setup your tree, or is it deliberately omitted for some compatibility or security reason?
