This would be nice to have, but I guess unless you can change the java code, its still less flexible in this way. Often people will use a different front end such as ldapadmin, while the FDS console is preferred for controlling replication, etc. 2) Is there anyway to get the directory server generate UNIQUE UID/GID > based on last uid created.

This is to avoid possible conflicts without having to build in a way to check for this, I agree it should be an available option though. http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1965645&forum_id=305548&abmode=1 any help with either of these issues would be much appreciated. > > Regards > > Kashif > > > -- > Fedora-directory-users mailing list > Fedora-directory-users at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
