Fedora directory users - Oct 2006 - How do I allow a certain admin user to administrate a directory?

Hi.

I''m trying to to configure fds102 so that it will allow a certain user
to administrate a directory, but I cannot get it to work. I can bind anonymously
and do searches from anywhere, but I cannot bind with any of the names
I''ve specified during setup so that I would be able to modify, create
and delete reccords from the directory. If I want to administrate anything, I
have to use the admin-console that ships with fds.

What should I do in order to grant full-administration privilegies for a certain
user to the directory? I''ve tried to add users through the the
"Set access permissions..." administration process, but when I try to
search for a certain user from a specific directory no results are returned.

Feedback and tips will be greatly appreciated :)


With best regards,

You mean the admin user or cn=Directory Manager?  Note that the full 
bind DN for the former is usually something like this:
uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot

try ldapsearch -x -D 
"uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot" -w 
password -s base -b "cn=config"
"objectclass=*"
