  24       <div class="date">28th June 2010</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>The last few days I have been looking into the status of the LDAP
  26 directory in Debian Edu, and in the process I started to miss a GUI
  27 tool to browse the LDAP tree.  The only one I was able to find in
  28 Debian/Squeeze and Lenny is
  29 <a href="http://luma.sourceforge.net/">LUMA</a>, which has proved to
  30 be a great tool to get a overview of the current LDAP directory
  31 populated by default in Skolelinux.  Thanks to it, I have been able to
  32 find empty and obsolete subtrees, misplaced objects and duplicate
  33 objects.  It will be installed by default in Debian/Squeeze.  If you
  34 are working with LDAP, give it a go. :)</p>
  35
  36 <p>I did notice one problem with it I have not had time to report to
  37 the BTS yet.  There is no .desktop file in the package, so the tool do
  38 not show up in the Gnome and KDE menus, but only deep down in in the
  39 Debian submenu in KDE.  I hope that can be fixed before Squeeze is
  40 released.</p>
  41
  42 <p>I have not yet been able to get it to modify the tree yet.  I would
  43 like to move objects and remove subtrees directly in the GUI, but have
  44 not found a way to do that with LUMA yet.  So in the mean time, I use
  45 <a href="http://www.lichteblau.com/ldapvi/">ldapvi</a> for that.</p>
  46
  47 <p>If you have tips on other GUI tools for LDAP that might be useful
  48 in Debian Edu, please contact us on debian-edu@lists.debian.org.</p>
  49
  50 <p>Update 2010-06-29: Ross Reedstrom tipped us about the
  51 <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gq.html">gq</a> package as a
  52 useful GUI alternative.  It seem like a good tool, but is unmaintained
  53 in Debian and got a RC bug keeping it out of Squeeze.  Unless that
  54 changes, it will not be an option for Debian Edu based on Squeeze.</p>
