Change search base?

so currently my search base is dc=domain,dc=com i want to change that to cn=users,dc=domain,dc=com . it seems like this should be more simple than it is.
i have no users on LDAP so i can pretty much promote and demote and VIM the **** out of whatever i need to in order to get this to work. i'm a new guy to LDAP and such so whatever information i can give you i will.
i'm running os 10.5 server on an xserve.
thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi
The search base derives itself from the Kerberos Realm Name which in turn derives itself from your DNS zone name and server name or FQDN (fully qualified domain name).
For example:
You have a domain (can be real, can be pretend - depending on what you want) called mydomain.com. You call your server xserve. This yields an FQDN of xserve.mydomain.com. When promotion takes place this in turn will yield a Kerberos Realm of XSERVE.MYDOMAIN.COM this in turn will yield a search base of dc=xserve,dc=mydomain,dc=com.
If you want to change the search base change it at that point, although I don't quite understand why? Surely if you want to search the LDAP database you would start from the top of the hedge?

Change LDAP Search Base: Is archive/recreate required?

This is the gist of the message that I'm getting while searching for an answer, but I wanted to ask it here just in case.
I have a MacOS X server (10.4.9) that I need to join to an Active Directory... it was originally on it's own domain (xserve.mydomain.ca) and will now be on the corporate domain (xserve.myorg.ca).
I've run changeip to change the IP address and switch over all the domain information. The forward and reverse lookups are happy and working and while I had to recreate home directories for some users, in the end, everything worked fairly well.
Now I need to take the next step in the integration and get LDAP changed over to reflect the new FQDN. It is current dc=xserve, dc=mydomain, dc=ca ... so it needs to be dc=xserve, dc=myorg, dc=ca
Is archiving the LDAP database... switching to Standalone... and recreating the OD Master with new LDAP search base the only way to make the change?
And if so... does it actually work? (Home Directories don't matter too much.. but recereating 200 users, obviously would suck).
Thank you very much.

I'm hoping for a little detail here.
The LDAP archive that is created through Server Admin
is... comprehensive... ie. there are a LOT of
different files in there.
Of course as it isn't only a LDAP archive but contains the PasswordServer database, the kerberos database, server settings ...
Where do I start in terms of "mangling" the data
(which I assume means redoing all references to the
old LDAP domain?
You would need to export only the LDAP database via the appropiate ldapsearch command.
As you begin to see this task is quite complex and without some decent knowledge about Mac OS X Server in general and specifically LDAP this task is doomed to fail. :o/

Also, for what it's worth, "Open Directory" in the Server.app has no settings within it. Nor will it stay "on." I'm not using OD per se, and am happy to leave it off, but it's possible the errors above are preventing it from running.
Thanks for any other solutions. —michael

Modifying the existing search base to a new one

My CoreId is having search base set to "dc=abc, dc=com". For some better architecture reasoning, now I wanted to change the search base to a new Ldap node called "Users,dc=abc,dc=com". I will move all our users and groups from earlier node "dc=abc, dc=com" to the new one "Users,dc=abc,dc=com". So all my users and groups will have different entryDN after the move, but they will carry the same user-id/ group-id.
Here are few questions related to this.
(1) All workflows refer to many users and groups. By changing the search-base will it refer to the new location automatically –OR- I have to manually change all the work flow by reselecting the users and groups.
(2) Do I have to redefine all our static groups again since all users have different entryDN now?
(3) Do I have to do any modifications to all the existing authentication schemes etc.
(4) Any other modification/ tasks ??
Thanks!

Hello Saggu, Before running this conversion tool I have few specific questions.
What is the meaning of these options for obmigratedn.exe
-c <configDN> : I am assuming this is Oblix configuration dn value (o=Oblix,dc=abc,dc=com) provided during CoreId set up
-o <oblixnode> : ???
-i <installdir> : Is this the CoreId installation Directory ??
-n <native_dn> : ???
-l <logical_dn> :???
Just a note :- I wanted to change only the use DNs (example "cn=kabi,dc=abc,dc=com" to "cn=kabi,o=employee,dc=abc,dc=com"). Oblix configuration remain at old node. Not sure if I should run this tool.

LDAP External Authentication Multiple Search Base DNs question

hi,
im trying two add two LDAP search DNs to a portal 6.2 organisation.
with one search base dn it works fine.
when i add another, all ldap auth for that org stops working.
the docs confusingly state that if you have multiple search dns (not talking about multiple ldap servers here - just the search base dns) that you should prefix each entry with the local server name. the docs however provide no examples of the syntax.
can anyone provide an example for multiple search dns? e.g. is it <server:port>:o=<etc> (doesn't seem to work).
thanks

hi,
yes i have.. but when you enter more than one it stop working... with only one entry in the gui it will work for that entry but when you add another it stops working...
i had to use a manual workaround like this to get the second going... :(
External ldap authentication
register the LDAP authentication service in the gui and setup the first DN as normal.
create the first set of entries for the ldap host and the base dn in the gui as normal etc.
the gui in the admin console is not working (depending on your point of view), so you need to add the second ldap config manually -
All commands are run from the /apps/jes/SUNWam/bin directory
1. Get an encrypted value for the bind dns (cn=Directory Manager) password you want to bind to the ldap directory as by using the ampassword utility shipped with Identity Server.
./ampassword -e directory_manager password
More information on this utility can be found in the Sun ONE Identity Server Administration Guide.
2. Copy the encrypted password as the value for the iplanet-am-auth-ldap-bind-passwd in the XML file (serviceAddMultipleLDAPConfigurationRequests.xml) created in Step 1. The XML file contains a template for creating the second LDAP DN.
3. Modify the data XML file accordingly so that the relevant details are provided for the 2nd ldap server (bind dn search base etc) and load this into the portal directory using the amadmin command line tool as follows from the /opt/SUNWam/bin directory
./amadmin -u amadmin -w administrator_password -v -t serviceAddMultipleLDAPConfigurationRequests.xml
If the imported xml values are incorrect delete and reload the imported xml data using amadmin command tool. Alternatively you can modify the ldap data directly on the primary identity server (ldap server) using a client browser though this method is not supported .
You should be able to see new imported values for the second ldap server at dn:ou=subconfig1,ou=default,ou=OrganizationConfig,ou=1.0,ou=iPlanetAMAuthLDAP
Service,ou=services,ou=ORG,o=lgaq.qld.gov.au on the primary ldap server (where ORG is the organisation you wanted to add the second DN).

Problem with replacement of index series, change of base year

Hi Experts!
I try to explain my problem in Real Estate.
In Italy from January 2011 the baseline (base year) national index of consumer prices for the entire community (NIC) and national consumer price index for families of workers and employees (CPI) moved from 1995 to 2010.
So, I have to change the base year of index in Rent Adjustment.
I think I have changed the base year from 1995 to 2010.
(Path: Real Estate>Rent Adjustment>Index>Replacement of index series, change of base year)
In table TIVAJINDXCON (previous was empty) now there is this record:
SERIESTO: 08000
BASEYEARTO: 1995
SERIESFROM: 08000
BASEYEARFROM: 2010
CHAINDATE: 31.12.2010
INDEXBASETO: 1,373
But with transaction FOA0 it seems that the rent adjustment still consider 1995 as base year instead of 2010.
I have to set the SAP application as to use 2010 as new base year instead of 1995.
Would you please forward me with any support.
Best regards,
Thank you.

Condition type to be loaded on Material cost after Taxes but shouldn't change Tax base Amount.

Customer requirement is that they want to deduct some amount after the Taxes (after BASB) &t load this amount value after taxes on Material cost (hence accrual KEY can't be used). but with the addition of this new condition type (for deduction) it shouldn't change the base amount for Tax condition type (BASB).
Basic Problem : new condition type value to be load on material (after taxes). but this condition value shouldn't change the Net price of PO(amount in BASB condition of Tax) so that base amount (BASB) of Tax procedure remain unchanged.
(Since it is to be loaded on material hence i cant use account key definitely. Also this cost to be loaded on material after taxes)
Ex -             PBXX =     100 base price
                 Freight =       20
   Tax base amnt =     120
               Tax (5%)=          6
                      Total =    126
     Other Charges=      10 (this 10 Rs amount in this condition type required to be loaded on material cost, at the same time this condition value shouldn't change the base amount for the Tax (BASB)
Please suggest (purpose is to load the deduction on material cost after Taxes & same time it shouldn't change the the amount after Tax base calculation)

Hi,
   Your condition type is without acrual flag in M/06. No acrual key is maintained in the MM pricing procedure.
   To achieve your requirement, maintain subtotal 6 against the condition type in your MM pricing procedure in M/08.
   Maintain the base type calc procedure as 362 against your BASB condition type in tax procedure. Keep the field blank for the tax condition type (VAT or CST / ED etc)
   Test the scenario again with a new PO. System will show the condition value in net amount field in PO, but the same wont be copied to BASB in tax procedure. Check the taxes pop up. Check the same and revert back.
Note: Similar requirement (not exact) for acrual conditions are mentioned in my doc: Tax Calculation on Freight - Different Scenarios You may refer it if required.

How do I change the base color in the recolor Artwork settings?

How do I change the base color in the recolor Artwork settings? I know this seems like a silly thing but I really need to figure this out and I have read and gone through the manual and the help forum to no avail. Please help.

If I have understood you correctly, you want to exclude a certain color from getting affected. You can click on a color row and it becomes highlighted with a border around it - in your artwork, let's say you want the orange color not to get affected. Right-click on it and choose 'Exclude Colors'. When you do that, you will see that the orange color moves to the bottom of the list and there is no arrow in front of it. Like this:

Change to Base in costing sheet

Hi Friends,
If one base ( BA01) is included in 3 costing sheets , now I am chaging to base BA01 fo costing sheet (CS01) and adding 2 activity types , now my question is since BA01 is incuded for 3 costing sheets(CS01/CS02/CS03) so the new actvity types will be added automatically for other two costing sheet bases.
Because bases are controlling area dependent and not specific to costing sheet.
Any pointers, please clarify my doubt.
Regards
Ashu
Edited by: ashutosh p on Jun 7, 2010 6:12 PM

Hi,
yes, thats what it is: "Because bases are controlling area dependent and not specific to costing sheet." So changing one base-definition will affect all costing sheets that use this base-definiton as well.
The only thing is, you enter cost elements (or groups of them) in the base definition, not activity types.

Please create "on-the-fly change search engine" option ALSO for when we mark [word] in a text, then right-click, then choose "Search [engine x] for [word]"?

In Firefox 34, you have changed the search bar.
The new style is perfect for those who always starts by typing in, letter for letter, the search term.
People such as myself, we almost never type in the search term,
but instead we mark a [word] in a text, right-click this marked [word], then select "Search [engine x] for [word]".
Speaking for myself, I have now a total of 36 search engine providers, but I usually only use 7 of those.
I use "Wikipedia (English)" most of the time..
- but then I will switch to e.g. "AniDB" and use that one for 1 hour..
- or switch to "Google" and use that one for 30 minutes..
- or switch to "Wikipedia (Norwegian)" and use that one for 2 hours..
- or switch to "Wiktionary (English)" and use that one for 15 minutes..
..and then I will switch back to "Wikipedia (English)" again.
The way the search bar was in Firefox 33 and earlier, I could very easily switch the default search engine.
Just one click to open the drop-down menu, then choose one.
In Firefox 34, I have to choose "Tools" -> "Options", the "Search" tab..
- before I can THEN click to open the drop-down menu.
4 clicks instead of 1, that's like 400% more work..!
Also, the fact that I have to go into "Options".. make this..
..I don't know how to put it, it's a kind of psychological barrier that I have to overcome each time.
I mean, before Firefox 34, I went to the "Options" window like maybe 4 times each YEAR,
now, I have to go there 4 times each DAY..!
I am not saying you should revert to the old style Search bar,
as I feel that those you are typing search terms are indeed very happy for this new style..
Instead, I think of 2 possible ways to create happiness also for us that do mark text and choose "Search.."
1) An "on-the-fly change search engine" option ALSO for when we mark [word] in a text, then right-click, then choose "Search [engine x] for [word]".
This could work as a cascading menu option, where it says..
Search for [word] in -> [engine x]
..and where [engine x] was the current default engine, and all the other engines was listed underneath,
just like the drop-down menu when you switch the default engine.
Additionally, you could have an on / off checkbox in the "Options" "Search" tab, where you had this option:
"Change default search engine when choosing another from the drop-down menu"
THIS would actually be PERFECT.. It would be even much BETTER than in Firefox 33 and earlier..! :-)
2) If there are things with the first option that don't work (something I've missed etc),
then maybe you could have an on / off checkbox in the "Options" "Search" tab, where you had this option:
"Use old-style search bar"
This would be off by default, but when switched on, it would give us the old Firefox 33 style Search bar.

Strongly recommend Context Search extension which will solve your problem

MMP using wrong search base when doing LDAP query.

Hi all,
I installed a new MMP (sun java communication suite v5 on Redhat linux x86).
When an imap user connects to MMP, the MMP does an ldap query for attributes "MailHostAttrs mailHost".
This query fails because the search base is
SRCH base="dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com,o=my.domain.com"
instead of simply "o=my.domain.com"
When I ran 'configure' I specified the Organization DN to be o=my.domain.com
And I've specified the following in the ImapProxyAService.cfg file:
LdapUrl "ldap://ldap1.my.domain.com:389/o=my.domain.com"
UserGroupDN "o=my.domain.com"
DefaultDomain my.domain.com
So why does it use "dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com,o=my.domain.com"?
I must be missing something but I can't find it.

Hi,

So why does it use "dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com,o=my.domain.com"?
I must be missing something but I can't find it.The first step the MMP will do to resolve the base DN for a hosted domain is a directory search along the lines of (this is for schema 2 which is the default for a new install):
[26/Oct/2007:16:46:23 +1000] conn=3152 op=1 msgId=2 - SRCH base="dc=aus,dc=sun,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=sunManagedOrganization)(|(associatedDomain=aus.sun.com)(sunPreferredDomain=aus.sun.com)))" attrs=ALL
So in my case I have default:LdapUrl "ldap://server.aus.sun.com/dc=aus,dc=sun,dc=com" and default:DefaultDomain aus.sun.com
So you will probably find that you have a hosted domain configured under "dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com,o=my.domain.com" which got created during installation but not propagated with users.

Shane.

Change Condition Base Value in Billing Process.

HI,
To elaborate, you can change the condition base value settings in the pricing procedure for the condition type.
Take help of ABAPer and let him know what exact qty or value you want system to pick up while processing billing docs.
Prior to do any changes, please also ceck if the new changes are impacting any old logics...
Hope it helps..

Changing of base unit measure

Hi Experts,
I have problem regarding the changing of base unit of measure, I already closed all documents of related material, but still it can not be changed
Error message given as
The base unit of measure cannot be changed.
The reasons for this are:
Material staging requirements already exist.
Reserv.No. Item
No Data
awaiting for your valuable answer.

Dear,
Message no M3 189?
Activating the deletion flag or completing the production order technically is not sufficient if you want to exclude the production orders from the check since you can cancel these statuses at any time.
The solution is to set the deletion indicator for the affected orders with the help of Transaction CO78 and to archive afterwards.
Please refer OSS Note 95491and 138767.

Changes in Base Unit of Measure

Hi,
We got an issue,User tried to change the Base unit of Measure from NO to KG.
1.For this material we dont have stock in unrestricted and quality,But it has reservations. 2.It has got Scheduling agreement,3.This material is used In BOM.
So if i cancel reservations,then remove this item from scheduling agreement and delete it from BOM.Will it work further to change the Base Unit of Measure.
Please Do help me in this matter
Thanks and Regards

1) You can only change the base units of measure under the following circumstances
No stocks are available for the material.
There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
At present, no purchase orders or purchase order items are being created or changed.
Item is not linked in any BOM as chield part
If requests for quotations, purchasing info records, or contracts are available for a material, the system emits a warning while changing base unit of measure. Still if you want to change unit of measure specify in a dialog box the factor for converting the base unit of measure into the new base unit of measure. The purchasing info records are then, if necessary, updated.
2) Solution
   As system is not allowing changing base unit of measure there will be either stock of this material or existing purchase document
1) If there are stocks in the previous period, you can clear them as follows:
a) Post the stock in the previous period to the current period (for example, using movement type 561) so that the stock for the previous period is the same as the stock for the current period.
b) Clear the stock with the posting date in the previous period (for example, using movement type 562).
2) If there are Open purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.complete all P2P cycle for open orders (purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements) and then close it.
3)Delete item from BOM
Then
1.     Run Trnx MM02 (Change Material Master immediately.
2.     Overwrite the old base unit of measure with the new one in basic data screen.
3.     Save the change.
3) System checks
If a change criterion (Trnx. code MM02) is meeting all necessary prerequisites (as mentioned in point 1).System allows changing base unit of measure. Otherwise it displays warning or error. U can display the reason for this, by choosing Display Errors (ctrl+F1)
