I have LDAP service running on Ubuntu server. I use webmin to administer ldap service of the base dn mydomain.net. Is it possible runnig LDAP on multiple domains?, like I want to create one more different root domain mydomian2.com along with mydomain.net in ldap. Please share ideas if anybody has any.

Thanks!

What, specifically are you trying to do?

If you want to create a second LDAP tree you need a higher level root - You can base your tree at o=MyCompany, and have two Domain-Component trees under it (dc=mydomain2,dc=com,o=MyCompany & dc=mydomain,dc=net,o=MyCompany).
If you want to be pedantic (and if LDAP allows it) you can root your tree at dc=. as well in true DNS fashion.

If you just want to have two systems authenticate against the same LDAP data I wouldn't worry so much about the name. If you want to worry about it consider using an LDAP Referral if all your systems support it...

Thanks for the answer and for the link!. I'm no much good at ldap so I'm using webmin only for ldap instead using ldap commands. I want to configure ldap with 2 different root domains so that I can use them for authentication. There was an options in webmin which says Tree but when I try to create mydomain2.com it says Failed... no proper global knowledge. – user53864 Aug 2 '11 at 2:21
