However, although Red Hat recommends not storing simple user entries under cn=config for performance reasons, it can be useful to store special user entries such as the Directory Manager entry or replication manager (supplier bind DN) entry under cn=config since this centralizes configuration information.

1. Stop the Directory Server. If the server is not stopped, the changes to the dse.ldif file will not be saved. See Section 1.3, “Starting and Stopping Servers” for more information on stopping the server.
2. Create a new entry, such as cn=replication manager,cn=config, in the dse.ldif file.

Ok.  Please file a doc bug.  We should not encourage people to edit the dse.ldif when it is not necessary.

I cannot give the error message now, as I'm not at customer site. When I get back to office, I will give the exact error.

Thanks.

Hi all,

According to RH document, if you want to create the replication user, you must edit the dse.ldif file and put the user information there.

No.  Where does it say that you must edit the dse.ldif?

I tried to use 389-console, create user (which use uid=repman) then try to enable cn=repman, but there is error saying that directory server refuse to do the renaming.

Can you provide the exact error message?

What is the correct way to create cn=repman only by using 389 console?

Thanks.
