CentOS 8.x Connect to 389DS with Apache Directory Studio

To connect to 389DS with Apache directory studio use following steps:

Download latest version of Apache directory studio from https://directory.apache.org/studio/download/download-linux.html
Have a look at requirements at the same page. At time of this writing the requirement was for Java 8. To install java 8 use:
```
dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk -y
```

There is no installation. We need to extract the file. Example command:

tar xzf ApacheDirectoryStudio-2.0.0.v20200411-M15-linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz

Then execute studio by changing to extracted directly and executing the studio UI
```
cd ApacheDirectoryStudio/
./ApacheDirectoryStudio
```
This should be done using normal user so that the display is accessible. (Instead of doing it from root terminal).
In the studio you can go to Windows -> Open perspective -> LDAP.
You can add connections to LDAP server using LDAP -> New connection.
These connections should show up in connections view. You can click on any existing connection name to open its LDAP tree in "LDAP Browser"
