Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Administrating Fedora directory Server through commands

Hai, I am using Fedora Directory Server 7.1 on CentOS 4.3 (SMP kernal). Now i want to administer FDS from the command line.so i am using ldapadd,ldapmodify,ldapdelete ... commands. I have no problem in adding an organizational unit or user to the directory. I am getting problem while try to add a new root suffix to the FDS from the command line. This is the process i am following to add a new root suffix 1) The ldif file (root.ldif) contains the following attributes corresponds to the root entry dn: cn="dc=newroot,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config objectclass: dcobject objectclass: top objectClass: domain objectclass: extensibleObject objectclass: nsMappingTree nsslapd-state: backend nsslapd-backend: newdb cn: dc=newroot,dc=com dc: newroot 2) Then i am using ldap add command to add the root suffix which is defined in the ldif file(root.ldif) ldapadd -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w testingdir -f root.ldif This command is get executed perfectly.Then i opened the FDS console. Perhaps there is no error in the log file too. 3) Click Directory server > configuration I have the entry for "newroot" and "newdb" is the database assigned to the database.

4) Then If i open the Directory server > directory window i am not having a directory entry for the newly created root suffix.

I don't have any problem if i create the root suffix from the GUI mode.

What could be the problem? Can anyone pls help me to get rid of the problem? Is there is any documentation available for administrating the Fedora Directory server from the command line with trouble shooting methods.(Now i am using Fedors DS administration guide.)
