Dear Sirs,
we need your help.
We are two guys, Olof Nord and
Thobias Nylander, studying the secondary year on upper high school at kattegattgymnasiet,
Halland, sweden. google maps

We
have a Local Networking class where we are supposed to set up and
maintain an LDAP based directory server.
We had the opportunity
to work with some other programs (and OS), and we chose 389 Directory server.
Now
we've been struggling with this program for several weeks, and soon we
have to report what's been done. And we have nothing to report.
We
have been following several guides, but one major guide we have been reading is red hat's official guide,
but it feels like we dont really get this straight.
whats been done:
we have been able to install and
setup the program.
we have also managed to install another program
for adding users through a GUI, called luma.
BUT
we can
start, but not logon to the 389-console, and we cant get luma to connect to our
server.
we have succeded with starting service dirsrv.
We are working on a PC with Fedora 13 installed,updated,
and the PC is in every other way working as it should. (exept no flash...)
I
think i't a good thing to add here that we both are very experienced
windows users and that we, in this course, have worked with Microsofts
alternative Directory server quite a while.
Our goal is to be able to log into the 389-console and to add some users. We would also like to do some more things like sharing folders and create sub-admins.
consider this as a cry for help to a stretched hand, grasping for the mainland knowing he is almost ashore.
Kindest regards,
Olof Nord and
Thobias Nylander
