Creating a Root Entry
Each time you create a new database, you associate it with the suffix that will be
stored in the database. The directory entry representing that suffix is not
automatically created.
To create a root entry for a database:
1.
On the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab.
For information on starting the Directory Server Console, refer to “Using the
Directory Server Console,” on page 32.
2.
Create a new database, as explained in “Creating and Maintaining Databases,”
on page 89.
3.
On the Directory tab, right-click the top object representing the Directory
Server, and choose New Root Object.
The secondary menu under New Root Object displays a list of suffixes that do
not have a corresponding entry.
4.
Choose the suffix corresponding to the entry that you want to create.
The New Object window is displayed.
NOTE You cannot modify your directory unless the appropriate access
control rules have been set. For information on creating access
control rules for your directory, see Chapter 6, “Managing Access
Control.”
