Fedora directory users - Dec 2009 - [389-users] Web interface to the user directory console?

Hi.


We''re setting up Red Hat Directory Server v8.1.0, and are able to
access the
Directory Server console by issuing the redhat-idm-console script. I can
access the administration module by pointing my web browser to port 9830 on
the LDAP server. But is there a way to get access to the directory server
(i.e. user management and stuff) from a web interface? I would be great to
access the user directory via a web interface, instead of using SSH''ing
into
the ldap server and use X forwarding to get the console up and running.


Best regards,
Kenneth Holter

You can use the DSGW - 389-dsgw (formerly fedora-ds-dsgw) - package with 
Red Hat Directory Server.  Please note though that Red Hat does not 
support the DSGW, but it should work.

The FC6/EL5 389-dsgw package is available from 
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Download#Enterprise_Linux_5

You can also install the console on your client machine (without
directory server and admin server, just the java console) and start it
locally. It will communicate with the port 9830 on the ldap server...
