But I think you did not define the database "newdb". See http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/entry_dist.html#18238 You should add an entry that looks like this: dn: cn=newdb,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config objectclass: extensibleObject objectclass: nsBackendInstance nsslapd-suffix: dc=newroot,dc=com > > 4) Then If i open the Directory server > directory window i am not > having > a directory entry for the newly created root suffix. Finally, you need to add an actual _entry_. The directory browser window only shows you entries. Defining a suffix and a database does not actually add any data/entries to the newly created suffix. You need to add an entry like this: dn: dc=newroot,dc=com objectclass: top objectclass: domain dc: newroot > > I don't have any problem if i create the root suffix from the GUI > mode.
