Hello everyone,

I'm a research student pursuing my Masters in IIIT-Hyderabad. I am keen on working on the 389 Directory Server project for Outreachy.

I have prior experience in configuring, maintaining and managing systems in an MHRD(Ministry of Human Resource Development, India) funded project. I have completed the required course credits towards my degree and am working on my Thesis currently. This would be great a opportunity for me to learn and start contributing to the open source community at Fedora.

As I am a bit new to the community it would be nice if anyone could guide me to a few useful resources to get me started. I started reading the documentation [1].

Cheers,
Soumya

Hello and welcome!

You can find some general guidelines about contributing to the project here: http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/contributing.html

If you haven't setup the server already I suggest you start by building the server and try some basic operations like ldapsearch or creating users and groups in order to experiment a bit. You can find build instructions on the above link as well.

RHDS documentation will also be your friend, especially the Administration Guide: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-directory-server/

Don't waste too much time with these guides now, just skim through them. You'll refer to them when needed.

I don't know what the Outreachy project will be about, but if it involves lib389, wibrown offers some initial directions here: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/389-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/TJS7IS7MGERQIME53DSIYMDUHEYTJYZ4/

You could try to install lib389 and experiment with the cli tools (dsconf, dsctl, dsidm) as well and see what's there and what's missing.

Hope that helps,

Ilias
