Creating roles in the LDAP server

As you saw in the previous section, we have created the users entity (ou=users) under the root entity (o=packtPublisher), and have kept all users under that entity in the LDAP server. Similarly, to store authorization information, we will create a new entity directly under the root entity in Apache DS, with the following steps:

Right-click on the partition o=packtPublisher and select New | New Entry from the LDAP Browser window.

Choose the option Create entry from scratch and click on the Next button.

We are going to add an entity type organization unit, so choose the organizationalUnit object class and click on the Next button.

We will use ou (organizational unit) as the RDN and roles as its value. The DN is automatically calculated when we give the value of the RDN. You can use more than one attribute (or the same attribute multiple times, with different values) for the RDN. The DN will then be calculated by appending each of them with a comma.

Click on the Next button, followed by the Finish button, and the entry ou=roles will be added under o=packtPublisher. The updated structure will be visible in the LDAP Browser window.
