Test Connectivity with an LDAP Client

Example Realm

By default an example realm is installed and configured to hang off of the dc=example,dc=com naming context. In fact an entire ApacheDS parition is dedicated to this portion of the namespace. The example partition is in addition to the system partition which is always present within ApacheDS which the Triplesec Server is based on.

Binding to dc=example,dc=com

Binding to the example partition is easily done with any LDAP browser using a simple bind. Below are the parameters that should be used to bind as the directory admin with preset defaults after an installation:

Here's a screenshot of the JXPlorer LDAP Browser with all the appropriate settings to bind to a local instance of safehaus:


You're going to want to set the admin password to something other than the default. Please see Settting Admin Password in the User's Guide for more information.

Binding to ou=system

The system partition is always present within ApacheDS. It is used for storing configuration information associated with the server. One of the entries of concern is the entry for the admin account. You'll need to know how to bind to the system partition to change this. Below are the parameters for binding as the admin to the system partition:

Incidentally the LDAP port can be changed to whatever you like. Please see LDAP Settings for more information on how to change the LDAP port used by Triplesec Server.
