[Fedora-directory-users] new install - howto start using

[solarflow99]

Hi, I have FDS 1.04 on RHEL4 installed and was wondering how to get started
using this?  The installation is easy, now i'd like to know how to add new
users and test things out.  The docs and long extensive, I didn't actually
see a simple get stared guide.  I hope adding new users easier than the
openldap way, having to create LDIF files, doing ldapadd, etc.

Use the console.  You'll have to have the
correct Java installed.  If 
you are a RHEL customer, you should be able to just do
 up2date java-1.4.2-ibm
to get the correct java.  This is in the Extras or Supplemental 
channel.  Use
java -version
to confirm you are using the IBM java and not gcj.

Then,
cd /opt/fedora-ds
./startconsole

Use http://localhost:adminserverport/ for the Admin URL
If you don't know what your admin server port is, grep \^Listen 
admin-serv/config/console.conf

Go
to the Users&Groups tab.  I think 1.0.4 has a bug in that it uses 
o=NetscapeRoot for the default Users&Groups container.  If you go into 
one of the menus, you can Edit Directory and set it to your real suffix 
e.g. dc=yourdomain,dc=com

I created a user, but I don't see it from the directory server tab under
netscaperoot or my suffix.  I can only guess what I should be doing to try
using it, the install guide seems to assume you either know what you're
doing already or have existing LDAP users to migrate.  I wish there was a
get started guide, any ideas how to get going?

Thanks,

ya.  I was wondering which version would be best to use then, how about 1.1?
I'll be reinstalling again anyways, so i'll try again.

Thanks,
