Browsing the LDAP Directory Tree

To conveniently browse the LDAP directory tree and all its entries, use the YaST LDAP Browser:

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Start YaST+Network Services+LDAP Browser.

  3. Enter the address of the LDAP server, the Administrator DN, and the password for the Root DN of this server (if you need both to read and write the data stored on the server).

    Alternatively, choose Anonymous Access and do not provide the password to gain read access to the directory.

    The LDAP Tree tab displays the content of the LDAP directory to which your machine connected. Click to expand each item's submenu.
