Hey Guys,
Congratulations on the RC1 release. Can't wait to try
it out!
Thanks!
Incidentally, I could not help but notice that we
think we need documentation.
Heh yes it in high demand ... correct documentation too.
I'll be glad to throw together some apt files and help
with this. Is there a prioritized list of documents
that we need and is there a "formal" process for doing
this?
That's great ... anything anyone can do is really appreciated. How
about just making sure the existing documentation is correct and up to
date for now. That will get you familiar with what exists and you can
just go on from there adding or changing things. I value documentation
more than code these days.
Also, I tried using JNDI on the 0.9 version, to create
a subcontext at the root of the directory tree using
this provider URL:
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,
"ldap://localhost:389/";);
When I try this I get a null pointer exception, but
if I use this PROVIDER_URL:
"ldap://localhost:389/ou=users,ou=system";;
Sounds like you're using the SUN JNDI LDAP provider here.
I can create subcontexts.
Do I have to use an LDIF file to create root level
contexts like "dc=apache, dc=org"?
Yep you cannot create root level contexts but you can modify them after
creation. These contexts are defined in the partition definitions
within the server's configuration. However it seems to me like you're
using a very very old version of the LDAP server. Please switch to the
RC. I assure you its worth doing so. 0.9 is older than Egypt. Take a
look inside the server.xml file ... use one of the installers and just
cd into the conf directory. There you'll find it. There should be an
example.com partition.
Cheers,
Alex
