More about Directory Server and OpenDS Margin Notes

Google's first hit for LDAP browser took me to the LDAP Browser/Editor by Jarek Gawor. Using LDAP Browser/Editor with OpenDS is straightforward.

  1. Get OpenDS installed with sample data to browse.

    Note: I needed to set Java WebStart to use the proxy specifically. There seemed to be some trouble inheriting the proxy settings from Firefox.

    OpenDS status panel
  2. Download LDAP Browser/Editor, unpack the download, and start the LDAP browser.

    After running ./lbe.sh
  3. Create a new session to connect to OpenDS.

    If you want to be edit rather than just browse, you need to bind as a user having the right to update LDAP entries.

  4. Connect using the new session.
