Creating partitions in ApacheDS

With ApacheDS as you may know, we can create our  customized partitions in order to keep our data according to  our requirements.
Lets have a look on creating partitions..

Steps

• As I mentioned in my previous post , install and create a connection for the LDAP server.
•  Double click on server link. You will see the server.xml's graphical view. From that select 'Partitions' tab

• Under partitions section you will see default two partitions are listed out
• System
• example
• Click on the 'Add' button. You will see a new partition will be created. Provide ID and suffix. Click on 'Save' button @ toolbar.

• You can do this @ server.xml by adding new .Go to the ApcheDS installation directory find the server.xml and copy one of the existing "example" partition.
• Now you  created a new partition called "acme.com". But you can not view the partition at LDAP browser. For that you have to create a new 'context entry' for the newly created partition.
• Go to LDAP browser,'Root DSE '-->Right click->'New Context entry' .Select 'Create entry from scratch' option.
• Select 'ObjectClass' as 'Domain' click  'Add' so you will see added object classes at your right pane.

• Now enter the DN as you provided when you create the partition.
• eg: dc=acme,dc=com
• Click 'next' and Finish.You will see the newly created entry at LDAP browser .

• When you try to make connections to newly created partition , You have to create a user/uid for this partition .
