Adding a windows client to a sun one Directory server running on Win 2000

Hi,
I am a newbie to sun one directory server but i am familiar with windows active directory.
I have followed the instructions and installed Sun One Directory Server on Windows 2000 Server using a typical setup and create a domain and also created some users in that domain.
The next thing i wanted to do was to add a windows 2000 professional desktop on this domain and login with one of the user accounts. I tried to adding the computer to the domain via the "My Computer->Network Identification->Properties->Domain" option and gave the domain name as the one i created on the Sun One Directory Server, but i get an error saying that domain was not found.
Am i missing something here. Do i need to install some client piece on the windows 2000 desktop to add the box on the sun one domain and login in as one of the users.
Any help will be deeply appreciated?
Thanks,
Raj...

yes, you can use samba for a windows client to login to ldap
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#id2536158
, but for windows XP clients you need to tweak the registry

Any ideas why I'm getting this error? Is this a bug in the installer?

IIRC this file, sasl32.dll, should get installed onto %WINDIR%\system32 when you install DS5.2 windows version.
You may run WinZIP and File/Open "d52diu.zip" (DS5.2 zip image) and look for "nsbasesys.zip", double click to Open it and you should find "sasl32.dll" there.

Active Directory 2003 and Sun One Directory Server 5.2

I just installed Sun One Directory Server 5.2 on a Linux machine. I want to configure LDAP on that machine so that it can be authenticated on Active Directory 2003. How do I go about doing this?

Active Directory server is a "directory server" (and kerberos server.) If your linux client authenticates against Active Directory it doesn't have to involve the Sun Directory Server at all. You have several general approaches you could investigate:
1. Linux client gets accounts and and authentication via LDAP from Active Directory
If you use AD to handle unix LDAP authentication (opt 1) you may need to extend schema in AD to add the unix password field. I haven't tried it yet, but hope to.
2. Linux client gets accounts from AD LDAP and authorization from AD Kerberos.
There should be docs on support.microsoft.com on enabling kerberos support for non-Win clients.
3. Linux client (with samba client installed, with winbind or pam_smb to support unix level services) gets accounts and authentication as a "Windows" client from Active directory "Windows server"
Check the samba.org docn or forums- I think this is a pretty common solution.
4. Linux client gets account information from Sun Directory server but uses kerberos (against active directory) for authentication.
There should be docs on support.microsoft.com on enabling kerberos support for non-Win clients.
5 Linux client gets account and authorization from Sun Directory server, which the sun Directory server configured to use Active Directory as a Kerberos server.
Probably incredibly complex.

Problems while installing Sun ONE Directory Server.

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to LDAP amd my problem is -
When I started Installing SunONE DS on machine first time, at the end of the installation, it thrown an error message.
"The program cant start because nss3.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
Later, I copied nss3.dll file to "C:\Windows\System32" and then started the installation then it thrown error again as follows -
"Configuration of the Directory Server failed.
Error Directory Server configuration failure
Checking connection to the Configuration Directory Server... failed.
The Administration Server cannot be configured.
Error Administration Server configuration failure
Error Configuration of the server(s) failed.
Click Next to continue. "
What is the reason behind this?

Bingo, It worked. Yup, I'm using SODS 5.2, I have copied all .dll files from nsbasesystem.zip to "C:\Windows\System32".
but now the problem is -
Sun One Directory server service is running
but
Sun ONE Administration server process is not running
I have tried to start it manually but it didn't worked. It initiates the starting of process and then suddenly shows error message that
"The Sun ONE Administration server 5.2 service on local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."

How to migrate Sun One directory server to a new physical server install

need help
We have to move our existing installation of sun on directory server 5.2 to a new physical server.
We have a new physical server with a new host name. I am trying to find an easiest way to take a snapshot of our existing server and put it on a new installation
So will installing sun one directory server , its shows me two choices either to create a new instance or copy configuration from a existing server
What do i choose and which is the fastest route to replicate my old server
Thanks a bunch in advance
Sganb

Hi,
I'm glad you're still using the old, glorious Sun One Directory Server 5.2, because it brings me back a lot of memories... But are you seriously talking of the 'plain' version, with no patches/hot fixes on top? If that's the case, you're using of a software that has been developed in 2004 and released in Jan 2005! Just for you to be aware, in the last *8* (eight) years a considerable number (in the magnitude of 10^3) of bugs, security problems and performance issues has been identified and fixed...
However, to provide a better answer to your question, it would be important to understand the 'big picture' in terms of scenario and requirements:
1) Is this a critical 24x7 service for which you need to perform an on-line migration or you have a 'maintenance window' during which the service may be switched off?
2) Is the old server member of replication environment? If yes, how many masters/slaves do you have already? Shall the new server be part of this topology? What role shall it have?
3) Would it be possible to make the the old server able to communicate with the new server?
4) How big is the database that you've got to migrate? Do you have any requirement in terms of caches?
5) Do you take backups on a regularly basis and have in place working (*tested*) backup/restore procedures?
6) Is the new server conserving or changing the O.S. and architecture? [SPARC->SPARC, x86->x86, SPARC->x86, Solaris -> ? , 32 .vs. 64-bit? ]
7) What are the steps you did to 'install' the software on the new server?
Thanks,
Marco
P.S.: I don't wanna sound 'scaring' with all these questions, neither this should be intended as an 'hidden advertising' for Oracle Professional/Consulting Services, but the only way to not put in jeopardy your data is being aware of the risks, having the control of what's going on and ... possibly have a 'B' plan ;-)
P.S.S.: My last suggestion is to consider a migration to a later release AS SOON AS POSSIBLE; the latest is ODSEE 11.1.1.7, which is available here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/oid-11g-161194.html
and seems to work pretty well ;-)

How to encrypt password in Sun ONE directory server?

Hi,
I'm trying to perform an update to a password field in Sun ONE directory server using JNDI, but the stored password does not get encrypted by the directory server. I've searched the forum, and only found examples on how to do so for Active Directory. Please help.
Thanks

You didn't make mention of setting up ssl on the server side, so search these boards for openssl. Some nice person uploaded an nice example of how do use openssl to do this.
To get the ssl certs for the solaris-client ssl authentication ( tls:simple ) to work you will need to use netscape to connect to the ssl port to get the right format. There are comments in that same doc on how to do that.

The interface close! Sun One Directory Server 5.2 sp6

Hello Everybody!
We have a really weird problem with Sun One Directory Server 5.2 sp6 on Windows Server 2003 Sp1 we dont know why, or how, but sometimes after a while working on the directory server console the interface suddenly closes! Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Thanks,
Actually the file I need should be readable - I need to parse it later on. But I think I just found the answer in the development kit. The utility is called dbscan and it works directly on the database files.
Thanks again anyway,
Ayelet

Backup of Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2

Hello,
I am new to Sun ONE Directory server and I installed a copy of version 5.2 on Windows 2000 server and want to ask for your help that how could I backup the LDAP server?
Since there is tool for backup of data but how could I recover if the server instance is failed?
Thanks in advanced.
Pat

Hi Pat,
If you are new to the Directory Server, then it is recommended to study the documentation ;-).
Chapter 4 of the Administrators Guide discusses the backup and restore procedures.
See: http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6698-10/populate.html
If you cannot start the directory server because the database is corrupted, then you may want to use the off-line restore tools (e.g. bak2db).
Before you do anything, study the above chapter.

We were successful in the integration without SSL.

Can someone please help. Thanks.

Hi
We had the same exact problem.
The thing is that Domino uses SASL to authenticate against the LDAP directory as soon as the option "make this domain available to notes client & internet authentication" is checked in directory assistance.
A workaround is to disable client authentication on the encryption tab of the sun directory server, but this is not what we want.
Did you find another solution ?
Thanks
Yann

Migration of sun one directory server

Hello All,
There was sun one directory server is installed in windows server 2003..
unfortunately the machine got crashed, but we have the whole folder structure(MPS) in the hard disk.
Can any one help me how can i bring that server back with that files in another windows 2003 machine.
i.e how can i configure the files and start the server.
thanks in advance..
regards
Kishore

I don't know exactly how is it in Windows environments, but in Unix if you have the whole product directories you only ought to copy them to other machine in the same directories, same owner, same permissions and it should work. I'm talking about DSSE 6.x, I don't know if for previous versions that's possible.

SSL on Sun One Directory Server

I am trying to establish SSL connection with Sun One Directory Server 5.2. However, I am unable to establish connection to the server using Microsoft LDP tool if i specify secure port 636. Unsecure connection is established successfully.
I followed the following steps to enable SSL/TLS on Sun One Server
1. Generate certificate request
2. Acquire SSL certificate from CA (used thawte site to obtain trial certificate by entering the certificate request)
3. Imported certificate to server (server-cert)
4. Trusting your Certificate Authority and all certificates it issues
5. Enable SSL on server
Do i require to add a client certificate to keytstore? From where should i obtain a client certificate? Please help.

1. Try and make sure that the certificate is issued to the hostname. Similarly, connect from MS to DS using the DS's hostname, not IP.
2. Import CA root test certificate from thwate on both the DS certstore, as well as MS LDAP client's keystore.
3. If the purpose of certificates is only encryption, you may look at the client for an option to disable hostname verification.
4. No client cert is needed, unless you have configured LDAP for certificate based authentication.
Hope the above help.

I think that I found the Sun endorsed book locations for using LDAP accounts that don't use authentication besides "crypt". I now can use an account with a "ssha" password. It can be more than 8 characters long.
Chapter 14 System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services
Read page 201 which is the pam.conf file pam_ldap setups. I edited my "/etc/pam.conf" file to reflect this
Chapter 7 Directory Server 5.2 2005Q4 - Administration Guide
Read page 316-318 which has a graphical technique to specify password syntax. I set it up and then tried the password by running "su - brahms". It now requires a longer password than 8 characters and it is set up to use "ssha" for that UID entry "brahms".
