[389-users] Re: simple question: do I need an admin server at all ?

[Mark Reynolds]

Phil,

The admin server is only used for 389-console/GUI.  If you aren't using 
the java UI, then you can remove the 389-admin* packages, and remove the 
o=netscaperoot suffix (if present).


We are currently working on ramping up our new python CLI tools 
(dscreate, dsctl, dsconf, and dsidm) and the new Cockpit web UI. This 
work is in progress, but it will awhile until it's available.  Of course 
you can do everything using ldapmodify if need be.


Regards,

Mark

the best way for new admins to learn the aci system. In fact I used 
the console aci editor just this week to prototype access controls for 
an OpenDJ directory service (OpenDJ is an all-java server that grew 
out of Sun DS).
