Re: simple question: do I need an admin server at all ?

Phil,

The admin server is only used for 389-console/GUI.  If you aren't using the java UI, then you can remove the 389-admin* packages, and remove the o=netscaperoot suffix (if present).

We are currently working on ramping up our new python CLI tools (dscreate, dsctl, dsconf, and dsidm) and the new Cockpit web UI. This work is in progress, but it will awhile until it's available.  Of course you can do everything using ldapmodify if need be.

Regards,

Mark

In running the old iPlanet (and then, Sun) DS (389's ancestor) for around a decade I gradually moved towards doing almost everything on the command line both for efficiency and stability (early versions of the gui console sometimes crashed the server). Sun's last release, DSEE 7, came with the kind of command line utilities now being developed for 389, allowing you to do everything at the CLI you used to need the gui for (like setting up replication). About the only thing I missed was the console's graphical aci editor, which is still the best way for new admins to learn the aci system. In fact I used the console aci editor just this week to prototype access controls for an OpenDJ directory service (OpenDJ is an all-java server that grew out of Sun DS).
