First time Apache Directory user - can't see custom partition?
Hi all,
I just installed Apache Directory Studio 1.5.7, and created a new
Apache Directory Server instance. Before starting the server
instance, I edited it's configuration in the Studio UI and added a
custom partition (dc=test,dc=com).
I started the server, created a connection, and opened the DIT in the
LDAP Browser panel on the left side of ADS. This is what I see:
DIT
----Root DSE (3)
--------ou=schema (19)
--------ou=system(5)
However, my view does not match the documentation here:
http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/143-adding-your-own-partition-resp-suffix.html
The documentation shows a globe icon next to the dc=example,dc=com
partition. But in my fresh install, I don't see that icon for the
'example' partition or my new 'test' partition.
Why aren't the example and test partitions displaying like shown in
the documentation? Did I do something wrong?

Hi Emmanuel,
Thanks so much for clarifying!
For posterity, for anyone else doing this through Studio, I added it
by doing the following:
- Right-clicking the 'Root DSE' node --> New --> New Context Entry.
- I then chose 'Create entry from scratch'
- I then added Object Classes 'dcObject' and 'organization' (which
automatically include 'top') and clicked 'Next'
- DN Context Entry: dc=example,dc=com and clicked 'Next'
- Double-clicked the 'o' (organization) value column, and entered the
value 'Example, Inc.'
- clicked Finish
Also, great work on Directory Studio!
Best,

yes, the context entry is not anymore created automatically. You have to
add it by hand. This is easy to do in studio, by right-clicking on the
root and select 'add context entry', then create an entry using the
