Using Apache DS with Openfire

I have a working Openfire 
(http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/) and it needs a Active 
directory to persist other user attributes.

However I am really new to AD and Apache DS, I have installed Apache DS 
from Ubuntu console and installation went well. From the installation 
instruction here: 
http://workinglinux.blogspot.com/2010/09/installing-apache-directory-server-in.html

Now when I fire up the Openfire server setup page, it asks for

LDAP Server
Server Type: In which I selected "Active Directory"
Host: "localhost"
Base DN: Where can I find this item?

Authentication:
Administrator DN: Where to find this?
Password: Where to find this?

Hope anyone can share some information.

Only you knows that. It depends on where you store your users I guess.

On ApacheDS, it's "uid=admin,ou=system".

> Password: Where to find this?

On ApacheDS, it's "secret".
