Populating LDAP Server

Populating our DIT

After populating our DIT with a Tree and Users it looks like this

The Export LDIF dump for this looks like this:

Connect to User

Then we can simply connect to a user that has been populated. In this Case i will login as the user with uid=mehl. The Password for this user is test.

Extending exisiting User

For extending an Entry you need to switch back to your admin connection.

To extend an exisiting Entry or in this case an existing User you need to select an Entry and right click on a existing objectClass. Then you need to select New Value.

In our Case we are extending our Entry with posixAccount. After you added the objectClass you need to fill in gidNumber, homeDirectory and uidNumber.
