Re: A little bit of help

Thanks for your replies, I'll do some reading following the links you advised (rad hat documentation really sucks).

Perhaps we missed you the first time.. let me try to help.

  
 I've setup openLDAp from rpm. I was trying to find some normal docs
on the web but unfortunately couldn't find any good one.
      

Try:-
LDAP Service step-by-step - http://www.aplawrence.com/Unixart/ldap.html
LDAP Tutorial for Linux -
http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialLDAP.html
LDAP HOWTO -
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/LDAP-Implementation-HOWTO/index.html

  
Hence, stupid questions:
slapd is up and running but when I open any admnstration utility it
can connect to the ldap server but cannot see base structure.
      

What utility do you use, and what exactly do you see after connecting?

  
So my question is:
After installing openldap and configuring slapd.conf-are there any
steps involved,like creating a ldif file that desribes the ldap
structure?
      

Yes:-
1. Create LDIF file (see numerous examples in URLs above), starting with
   base of tree.
2. slapadd -f ./ldif_file, then start slapd.

All set.
