[389-users] Manual & help step by step

[Dan Lavu]

I can think of two ways to do this but I will propose the way that I think is best…. so It will not be one ACI it will be several. 

Please keep in mind that ACI do get inherited and do not travel up the directory structure, they only effect their child objects. So one ACI at the top level of your root suffix o=X that permits users to change their own attributes. For each OU you create, you will need to create an ACI for the group of users who can administer the "domain". 

So
O=X (ACI that permits any user to write to their own attributes)
|--------dc=domain (ACI that permits administrators to manage their users)
		|---------------ou=people
		|---------------ou-group
|-------dc=domain1 (ACI that permits the administrators to manage their users) 
	etc etc

So the nice thing about this is you have one database, one replication agreement but without writing proper ACIs there is a change that domain1 can have visibility into domain.

You can do 
O=domain (All ACIs can go here)
|------------ou=people
O=domain1
|------------ou=poeple

The only thing I don't like about this method is, for each domain you add you will have to create a replication agreement but you can have separate memory allocations, pagesize per domain so it depends on your implementation and how its going to be used. 

I hope this helps.

This will be the easiest way to manage it and administer it, if you require that each domain be an entirely separate directory with no visibility into other domains, you will want to read up on multiple databases, but this will make it an administrative hassle. For each database

Each domain will be represented by O=domain and then we will have ou=people and we will have admin group under the groups. Each domain will have this structure.

For example when you export the CA and move it to a second server it will not show up in the server tab then.
