Hello, I am looking to use the Directory Server Admin Console similar to how
the Active Directory user's and Computers tool is used.
More specifically I would like to create an administrative group with
permission to perform certain functions such as reset user passwords and
change certain other attributes. I would like to login to the console
with these users instead of Directory Manager or admin to limit the
access and damage that can be done.

I have created a group of users with full access to my suffix with
ability to add and remove objects. I can do pretty much any operation
with ldapmodify, ldapadd, ldapdelete from the command line.
However I cannot login to the Directory server console with these users
to admin the directory.
If I login as Directory Manager to the admin console and then select
"login as new user" I am able to login with the users, however the
Directory is not visible. I do not have the correct access somewhere
obviously.
How can I configure FDS to allow these users to admin the directory in a
limited role? I am assuming I need to set aci's in certain places to
allow logging into the FDS admin server console .
I am assuming this is possible. I am able to access with a third party
tool but would like to use the FDS admin console.
Access to the console is controlled by acis under o=NetscapeRoot - to see these do the following search ldapsearch -x -D "cn=directory manager" -w yourpassword -b o=netscaperoot "aci=*" aci

You will notice there are two main groups which are used with these acis:
ldap:///cn=Configuration Administrators, ou=Groups, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot
for all administrators
there is an entry corresponding to each server - for example:
dn: cn=slapd-ds, cn=Fedora Directory Server, cn=Server Group, cn=ldap.example.com, ou=example.com, o=NetscapeRoot This entry is also a group entry - members of the server group entry are supposed to have access to the server: aci: (targetattr=*)(version 3.0; acl "Enable delegated access"; allow (read, s earch, compare) groupdn="ldap:///cn=slapd-ds, cn=Fedora Directory Server, cn=
Server Group, cn=ldap.example.com, ou=example.com, o=NetscapeRoot";)
aci: (targetattr="uniquemember || serverProductName || userpassword || descrip tion")(targetfilter=(objectclass=netscapeServer))(version 3.0; acl "Enable ac cess delegation"; allow (write) groupdn="ldap:///cn=slapd-ds, cn=Fedora Direc
tory Server, cn=Server Group, cn=ldap.example.com, ou=example.com, o=
NetscapeRoot";)

I'm not sure if this will work if the user entry is in a different directory server.

Thank you
James
