Can I create a root entry other than ou=system?
Im new to the world of Directory Services and I am using JNDI and the
ApacheDS. I would like to know if its possible to have a root entry other
than the ou=system which comes along with ApacheDS or Im bound to it? If so
how?
thanks in advance

slt Emmanuel,
Actually I have just been exploring ApacheDS with respect to JNDI. Im
supposed to start a project next month and will be briefed in the coming
week on the nitty-gritty of the project.
Could you please tell me where I could get jar files for this class?
(MutableBTreePartitionConfiguration)
merci

Hi,
Are you using ADS embeded into you application?
If so, the partition class to use has changed lately, and may have to use
this class :
MutableBTreePartitionConfiguration
instead of
MutableDirectoryPartitionConfiguration
Not 100% sure, but almost.
Sorry for that, but we are still trying to improve the beast before
freezing the code for 1.0 release :(

hello
thanks for the help and advice you have given me so far. I could use the
2nd directory partition, but still could not create my own partition.
In the API docs (a link from your site) I saw the class
MutableDirectoryPartitionConfiguration and decided to use it to configure a
partition. I went ahead and took a jar
from the ApacheDS(apacheds_core_1.0_RC4.jar) and included it to my project.
On having a closer look at this file I discovered that
MutableDirectoryPartitionConfiguration did not exist in the "
org.apache.directory.server.core.configuration" package but I saw the class
... "MutablePartitionConfiguration" which contained all the methods I
needed but when I ran my code I got the following line as error report
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/directory/shared/ldap/exception/LdapConfigurationException.
I hope you help me go further.
thanks

Yes Stefan is right there are two partitions in the stock ApacheDS
installation. These hang off of two roots (suffixes or namingContexts
in LDAP jargon):
ou=system
dc=example,dc=com
You can add more partitions to the server as you need or just change the
one for dc=exaple,dc=com to suite your needs.
Good luck,
Alex

It is necessary to have a partition called ou=system, which holds system
related stuff (like the entry for the admin user). But as Ersin already
explained, you can have more partitions. I just wanted to add that the
default configuration server.xml already contains a second partition
with suffix "dc=example,dc=com". You may use this as a template for your
own.

The "root entries" specify partitions. So to have another root you
need to add a new partition to the server. The following might be a
starting point:
