database. The directory entry representing that suffix is not automatically created.
To create a root entry for a database, do the following:

Configuration
tab.

Section 3.2, “Creating and Maintaining Databases”
.

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.
