       Demo users for our ldap server

GUI based client:

  Under UNIX you can use 'gq' to manage your ldap data.
  (The gentlemans LDAP client)


Install this demo:

  JDK 1.3 and higher has ldap drivers integrated, for
  JDK 1.2 please download the ldap driver and add it to your
  classpath.


Configure OpenLDAP server:

  Edit /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
    suffix     "o=xmlBlaster, c=ORG"
    rootdn     "cn=Manager, o=xmlBlaster, c=ORG"

    # Define global ACLs to allow default read/write access.
    access to * by * read
    access to * by * write

    # Switch on logging:
    loglevel -1

  tail -f /var/log/messages


Start/Stop:

  rcldap start
  rcldap stop


Feed some initial users:

  We have provided a file demoData.ldif which contains some
  demo data, in the ldap interchange format.
  The demo data is based on the core.schema.
  Please import it:

  ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,o=xmlBlaster,c=ORG" -w secret -v -f demoData.ldif


Query the ldap server (cn is the unique user name):

  ldapsearch -x -b 'o=xmlBlaster,c=ORG' '(objectclass=*)'

  Check password:
    ldapsearch -x -b 'o=xmlBlaster,c=ORG' '(&(cn=tim)(userPassword=tim))'
  You should get a line like:  # numEntries: 1


Recursiv remove all data:

  echo "o=xmlBlaster, c=ORG" | ldapdelete -x -D "cn=Manager,o=xmlBlaster,c=ORG" -w secret -v -r


Query ldap server with netscape or konqueror (Linux):

  ldap://localhost/o=xmlBlaster, c=ORG??base
  ldap://localhost/o=xmlBlaster, c=ORG??sub
  ldap://localhost/o=xmlBlaster, c=ORG?cn,dbAnrede?sub
  ldap://localhost/o=xmlBlaster, c=ORG?cn?sub?(sn=Stallman)

  Syntax:
    ldap[s]://<hostname>:<port>/<base_dn>?<attributes>?<scope>?<filter>
