users ldap managment tool
by Maria Tsiolakki 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Hello We run ldap 389, here in a computer science department We need to have an easy management tool for setup and manage ldap accounts. Required functionalities among others are: *query users based on criteria i.e, select all users that belong to the same group, and easily update their gid , and at the same time to update the corresponding group with the new additions *batch import of multiple users at once *select multiple users for deactivate/activate/delete? etc Has anybody uses such a tool, with above functionalities and even more? Thank you Maria -- _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Maria Tsiolakki* *Computer Science Department| University of Cyprus* *(**dir no: ****++357 22892727****/central no :****++357 22892700**/****fax no **:++357 22892731 **/**email:****Maria.Tsiolakki_AT_cs.ucy.ac.cy )* _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ **

disk i/o: very high write rates
by Jan Kowalsky 08 Aug '18

Hi all, I'm running a set of three 389-ds servers with about 50 databases with replication on each server. No I'm encounter a constant very hight disk write rate (about 300 write io/sec.). In the audit-log there is nothing what would explain this. But in iotop I see a lot of threads like: 1621 be/4 dirsrv 0.00 B/s 3.95 K/s 0.00 % 0.46 % ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0 -i /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0.pid -w /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0.startpid 1628 be/4 dirsrv 0.00 B/s 7.90 K/s 0.00 % 0.46 % ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0 -i /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0.pid -w /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0.startpid .... 1631 be/4 dirsrv 0.00 B/s 892.18 K/s 0.00 % 0.00 % ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0 -i /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0.pid -w /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0.startpid 1463 be/4 dirsrv 0.00 B/s 580.31 K/s 0.00 % 0.00 % ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0 -i /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0.pid -w /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0.startpid 1462 be/4 dirsrv 0.00 B/s 363.19 K/s 0.00 % 0.00 % ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0 -i /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0.pid -w /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-ldap0.startpid I configured caching and have entrycachehits about 99 - but anyway this would have only impact to read-operations.

simple question: do I need an admin server at all ?
by Robert Watterson 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Hi forgive the newbie question, but I've searched the 389-users archive and didn't see an answer..... If I manage ldap entries and dirsrv server options via command line only, do I even need an admin server component? I've been using Apache Directory Studio for my non-command line needs on a single 389 instance, seems to work out OK so far. The admin server (o=netscape) is installed and running, but I haven't been using the GUI. I'm about to spin up two new servers and do multi-master replication and certificates/TLS. On a production server where all content changes are done via scripts (no GUI needed) do I even need to spin up an admin server? We won't be using Admin Express, DS Gateway, Org Chart, etc. We'll never be managing more than 3-4 production ldap servers. Am I missing something critical by installing just the actual 389 servers and NOT the admin instance?
