never mind I found the answer
apparently you have to go into the "Directory" tab in the directory server and create a domain object because its not automatically created when you create the database under the sub dn

Hello every one
I have a strange problem Im trying to use 389 server in a large organization and i have to break the directory into several sub suffixes or root suffixes. there is the scenario I work for Large company A Large company A owns
- subsidiary b
- subsidiary c
- subsidiary d
Large company A uses domain example.com subsidiary b uses domain b.example.com subsidiary c uses domain c.example.com subsidiary d uses domain d.example.com
I would like to separate each of the subsidiaries into their own sub suffix partially because of security reasons also to minimize unneeded replication for local read only slaves at the subsidiary sites, and I would also like the administrator at each subsidiary to have the option of manage their own users or having the administrators at the parent company do it for them.
now creating the sub suffix with its own database is fairly well documented and works well with ou's but doesn't seem to work with dc's if i create the new suffix as a dc and go into the users and groups in the console and try to add a user to the new dc it wont let me. if i use the Users drop down menu and try to change directory and set the base to the new dc (e.g. dc=b,dc=example,dc=com) it tells me the dc isn't valid
I also tried creating a root suffix and ran into the same problem so what am i missing? Is there some initial database population step I didn't see in the documentation or do i need to setup some ACIs or what?
