Hi, Maybe the best thing to do would be to use Apache Directory Studio to edit the configuration.
Apache Directory Studio 2.0.0-M3 might not work correctly with ApacheDS 2.0.0-M8 (which is more recent), but our latest nightly build will. http://directory.apache.org/studio/nightly-builds.html Right-click on your connection and select "Open Configuration". From there, it should be easy to create a new partition.
