[389-users] Problem to create a root entry

[jean-Noël Chardron]

hello,

On a fresh install of a 389 directory server  on fedora 10, I tried to 
create a root entry as described in the book Administration of Redhat 
Directory Server

I tried some possibilities with directory console or command line, the 
behavior is hazardous :

in command line i tried this below, but the branch dc=ad,... doesn't 
appear in the directory console

[root at aragon db]# ldapmodify -a -x   -D "cn=directory manager" -w secret

dn: cn=adData,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectclass: extensibleObject
objectclass: nsBackendInstance
nsslapd-suffix: dc=ad,dc=dr15,dc=cnrs,dc=fr

adding new entry "cn=adData,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config"

dn: cn="dc=ad,dc=dr15,dc=cnrs,dc=fr",cn=mapping tree,cn=config
objectclass: top
objectclass: extensibleObject
objectclass: nsMappingTree
nsslapd-state: backend
nsslapd-parent-suffix: "dc=dr15,dc=cnrs,dc=fr"
nsslapd-backend: adData
cn: dc=ad,dc=dr15,dc=cnrs,dc=fr

adding new entry "cn="dc=ad,dc=dr15,dc=cnrs,dc=fr",cn=mapping 
tree,cn=config"

but the branch dc=ad,dr=15,dc=cnrs,dc=fr doesn't appear in the directory 
console

If I ommit the parent (nsslapd-parent-suffix: "dc=dr15,dc=cnrs,dc=fr")
and i create a independant branch, the new root suffix 
(dc=ad,dc=dr15,dc=cnrs,dc=fr) appear in the directory console but in the 
tab "directory" I cannot
create the new root Object

In fact my original problem is that I am never able to create a new root
object in the Directory under the root sufix dc=dr15,dc=cnrs,dc=fr even 
after creating the database. In the directory console the link 'New Root 
Object' is not active, then I cannot create the root object 
"dc=ad,dc=dr15,dc=cnrs,dc=fr"

Can somebody tell me what is wrong or misconfigured

Thanks
