I am working now with the Apache Directory Server. I am a freshman in LDAP.
After few paragraphs of reading about it I noticed that I need my own tree to particular case that I want to design. For know, let's say I have some domain bubble.com. I want to create dc object for it dc=buble, dc=com. When I try to do so using Apache Directory Studio I get the following error:

Error while creating entry

  javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: [LDAP: error code 32 - NO_SUCH_OBJECT: failed for         Add Request :

    objectClass: dcObject
    objectClass: top
    dc: bubble
    dc: com
: ERR_268 Cannot find a partition for dc=bubble+dc=com]

To be honest, I don't really understand what is going on. What is the idea of partitions?
Is it possible to create own dc in such way? Or maybe do I have to put everything into ou=schema or ou=system?
What is the purpose of ou=schema and ou=system, present in ADS by default?

dc=bubble+dc=com is a distinguished name with a multi-valued relative distinguished name, and no parent. The DIT must have a suffix or namingContext hosted by a backend and then you could add the entry as a subordinate to that suffix or namingContext, for example, dc=bubble+dc=com,o=my-suffix.

  • What is DIT, suffix and naming context? Documentation of Apache Directory Server really sucks and I am doing everything blindly. – rivasket Feb 16 '12 at 13:51
  • DIT = directory information tree. suffix and naming context are two names for the top level name supported by the backend, for example, in the distinguished name `ou=people,o=example`, `o=example` is the naming context or suffix. This must exist in order to add subordinates to it. – Terry Gardner Feb 16 '12 at 13:59
  • @Terry I'm having the same issue. What do you mean by backend? Did you mean web context? – yapkm01 Jul 11 '12 at 18:28
  • Some servers (but not all) call the database hosting a "namingContext" a "backend". Server administrators will create a "backend" in a directory server configuration to host a "namingContext". In practice, a "backend" will support the data for a suffix, for example, "dc=example,dc=com". The "backend" is an LDAP server specific thing, and is not directly related to a "web context". – Terry Gardner Jul 11 '12 at 18:40
  • @Terry Let's make it simple. I'm using Apache directory studio and i managed to make a connection to Apache DS. I want to create a domain component abc.com. At 'Root DSE' icon. Want to create dc=abc,dc=com. Did that and i got that error? How would a novice LDAP person like me be able to create that dc=abc, dc=com? – yapkm01 Jul 11 '12 at 18:48
  • Sorry, I don't know details about the configuration of Apache DS. I would suggest asking the question at server fault. – Terry Gardner Jul 11 '12 at 19:00
  • @Terry Is it under stackoverflow? Do you have the link? – yapkm01 Jul 11 '12 at 19:28

You need to restart apacheds service on remote server, this tutorial explains in details: https://technology.amis.nl/2014/10/22/getting-started-with-apacheds-ldap-server-and-directory-studio/

Create data partition with the suffix "dc=bubble,dc=com". http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/basic-ug/1.4.3-adding-partition.html
