Re: [Re: Looking for LDAP Management Tool]

[Rich Herrington <RTH2@netscape.net>]

Thanks for all the input.  However, what I'm really looking for is a tool
designed more for an end-user or CSR.  Are there any "Shrink Wrapped"
products, thin-client or Web based preferred (not Hydra-Term Serv).

Thanks again,
Rich

   Hmmm... I dunno about whether or not it's designed for the "non-ldap
expert"
but my favorite tool is at:

http://www.iit.edu/~gawojar/ldap/

   Note that some assembly is required, but it's pretty simple.  You just
tell it where your Java JDK is installed (by editing a batch file) and tell
it what your LDAP base and Directory Manager distinguished name is (by editing
a browser.config file). Easy.

   And it runs on both PCs and UNIX machines, and even looks the same on
both platforms.  And best of all, it doesn't care a whit what your schema is.
You need to know a bit about your schema -- you need to know the names of
the attributes different object types use/require, but... (shrug)

   'Hope this helps...
