In this chapter, we will explain how to configure some basic parameters in the server ou just installed. We won't expose all the options in this Basic User Guide, you can check in the Advanced User Guide for more options if needed.
Now that your server is up and running, you can use it to add, modify, remove and search entries. You can also manage its schema, extendng it to fit your needs.
In this chapter, we expose various environments that are depending on Apache Directory Server, and how to set those environments. As Apache Directory Server is an LDAP server, it can be used to manage messaging users, web servers like Tomcat, users in a Unix environment, etc.
Unfortunately the Basic User's Guide for ApacheDS 2.0 is not finished yet. We have started to move and revise the content, things you find here are work in progress but should be valid for ApacheDS 2.0.

This guide is primarily for people new to ApacheDS 2.0. If you plan to use the server as is, maybe even for your first LDAP experience, you'll (hopefully) find all information necessary to do so. Only basic configuration tasks are covered. Learn more about the options you have (and many other things) in the ApacheDS v2.0 Advanced User's Guide.

LDAP is a complex set of technology, Apache Directory Server is offering more than just LDAP, so it's good to get a quick grip on the server.
