Adding a partition to Apache DS with Geronimo

hi,

i am trying to create a new partition with apache DS that comes with geronimo

dn: dc=myhost,dc=com
dc: myhost
objectClass: dcObject

The documentation for directory server says to use properties file
server.db.partition.suffix.apache=dc=myhost,dc=com
server.db.partition.indices.apache=ou cn objectClass uid
server.db.partition.attributes.apache.dc=myhost
server.db.partition.attributes.apache.objectClass=top domain extensibleObject

But i am unable to add this to Apache DS in geronimo.

So want to know if this is possible or i can use only ou=system thats
created by default.

thanks
Krish

Krishnakumar,

I now made it so you can create partitions.  See the 
var/ldap/conf/directory.xml file.  You set your partitions up in this 
file via xml tags.  There is no support for the properties files.

So for your example you gave, the directory.xml would look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<directory-configuration
  xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/directory-1.0">
     <partitions>
         <partition name="myhost">
             <suffix>dc=myhost,dc=com</suffix>
             <indexedAttributes>
                 <indexedAttribute>ou</indexedAttribute>
                 <indexedAttribute>cn</indexedAttribute>
                 <indexedAttribute>objectClass</indexedAttribute>
                 <indexedAttribute>uid</indexedAttribute>
             </indexedAttributes>
             <contextEntry>
                 <attribute id="objectClass">
                     <value>top</value>
                     <value>domain</value>
                     <value>extensibleObject</value>
                 </attribute>
                 <attribute id="dc">
                     <value>myhost</value>
                 </attribute>
             </contextEntry>
         </partition>
     </partitions>
</directory-configuration>

It also probably wouldn't hurt to uncomment the <bootStrapSchemas> block 
as well.

Krish,

You can use ou=system to play with, but under a long term, I wouldn't 
use it.

Great point! I need to add the ability to add partitions from a 
configuration.  Could you please open a JIRA issue on this?  This should 
be pretty easy to fix.

Thanks for pointing this out,

Jeff
