[Jxplorer-users] jxploerer openSUSE SLES cn=config DB

[Günther J. Niederwimmer]

Hello,

I have a question about jxplorer ,), some people tell me with JX it is not
possible to change any or work on a openSUSE or SLES Ldap server.

I am not a Professional with ldap, but I have to change any in cn=external,
cn=config .

On the other site, I have found a Document on Novell Site with a HOW TO for my
Problem and the Writer is using JX on his document.

But I can't load the cn=config Database on my system :(.

Can any tell me, is this correct JX is not working with openSUSE, or a way
with correct INFO to loadf / edit the cn=config

jxplorer can connect, read and modify the contents of LDAP servers.
I've used it with OpenLDAP and eDirectory. OpenSUSE probably runs
OpenLDAP.

What is the error message?
Can you load some other cn=... part of the directory?

I'm guessing that cn=config is the ldif configuration file
in /etc/openldap/ on the server, which probably has very restrictive
access.

Maybe if you tell us a bit more about what you are trying to achieve, we
can help.

Hi Günther,

are you talking about the Novell eDirectory server? JX certainly
works with that directory... however remember JX is simply an LDAP
client, it's not a management console for any specific directory...

Which particular directory are you talking about though?

OK ;)

I am not a "Profi" for ldap, but a "Profi" tell me, JX can't read in rootDSE
the configContext in cn=config Backend. JX is searching for namingContexts?

Also JX is not created to read the correct Attribute for cn=config, on
openSUSE Systems.

is this correct.

BUT on this Document the Writer works with JX ;)

"http://www.novell.com/communities/node/12703/howto-openldap-24x-replication-
sles11sp1"

I like to change only small thing for YaST2 compatible working.

I have no Problem to read the hdb 1 dc=xxxx,dc=xxx with SSL+User+Password, but
I can't found any Help for cn=external cn=config.

Hi Günther,

Happy New Year to you also :-).

I'm still not sure what directory you're using! Are you using
openldap (==slapd) or Novell's (NetIQ) eDirectory?

I'm not a linux expert, so I'm not sure which directory Novell
use on SUSE by default :-).

JX does try to search for the root(s) DNs of a directory when it
first connects, but config branches can be handled a bit differently
by a directory; I'm not 100% sure how to access a cn=config branch...
I've just tried it with a recent version of openldap by entering it as
the basedn for connection without much luck.

I *think* that in openldap you need to set up access to the
cn=config branch separately; possibly the following link may help:
