Hi Emmanuel,

That get's me a little farther, I've put the output below.. I was hoping to import the seven seas example into apache ds running in the web application but I can't seem to get the data into the directory. I have played around with the standalone version and I tried taking the standalone data and putting it into the apacheds war working directory but all that comes up when I connect to the apacheds war is the system tree (no example tree and no seven seas tree). Is there an easy way for me to get some sample data into the apacheds war?
I'm just wondering why you do have some \\ into the request ?

ldapsearch -x -h localhost -p 10389 -D "uid=admin,ou=system" -w secret \\ ...

When I read the trace, I think that ldapSearch is trying to get the attribute named '\', which obviously does not exist, so you will get nothing as a result.

Otherwise, the base DN you are using ("") tells the server to start looking to the rootDSE, a very specific piece of data (in fact, it contains all the information about the server itself, like the 'company' who wrote the server - apache - etc.). When you define a base DN, and if it's empty, the rootDSE is requested. In order to get information from any other part of the tree, you have to start at some point. In your case, it will be -b "dc=xample,dc=org", for instance.

Last, not least, with a -s base, you are requesting a single object, not the content of the tree. You can try -s one or -s sub to get more than one entry.

Hope it helps.
Thank for the reply and help !!!!

It is interesting as the servlet search returns what the example states:

*** ApacheDS RootDSE ***

objectClass: extensibleObject
objectClass: top

but the command line still doesn't return the expected result.

Can you try with a -x added in the command line ? The ldapsearch tool default to SASL when this option is not set. :
 "-x     Use simple authentication instead of SASL."
