Connecting to OpenLDAP through Meta-directory

Is it possible to connect to other LDAP servers, like OpenLDAP, directly through the metadirectory, or does an LDIF dump have to be created? I tried setting up a connector view and also creating a universal connector for OpenLDAP, but it gives me the following error:
Invalid directory server.
Meta-Directory requires Netscape Directory Server 4.1 or higher.
Please install and specify the correct version.
Details: netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (32); No such object
Or can Meta-directory only connect to other Sun One Directory Servers and otherwise LDIF dumps need to be created? I'm demo'ing metadirectory and directory server, and the pdf manual for metadirectory seemed to suggest connecting to LDAP servers wouldn't be a problem, but is that strictly Sun One Directory Servers? I'm confused..
Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, the metadirectory manual incorrectly states that the two direct connectors in meta are called sql and ldap.
This is in fact untrue, the ldap connector will ONLY work with Sun ONE Directory Server 4.x and 5.x with the RetroChangeLog enabled.
You can import LDIF data from other Directory Servers into meta using the UTC. Alternatively if it's a POC or demo you can use the new Novell connector that is pure LDAPv3 to retrieve data, this connector uses mysql as a changelog and therefore is not dependent upon the Retrocl.

OIM AD password Sync connector. Connection to AD through SSL

Hi.
I am trying to configure AD password sync connector 9.1.1.5 with patch 14627510 to connecto to AD through SSL.
At this moment, connector is able to connect to OIM through SSL but not to the AD. If i set AD port number to 389 on the connector configuration, everything works fine.
If i set it to 636, it is not able to connect to the AD.
I've imported the AD SSL certificate to <connector install directory>\OIMADPasswordSync\_jvm\lib\security\cacerts and restarted the domain controller but still no luck.
To test that the certificate and everything else is OK, i've also installed a jxplorer and imported the same certificate into <jexplorer install directory>\jxplorer321\security\cacerts. Jxplorer is able to connect to the AD through SSL on port 636 so user credentials, certificate, etc.. are ok
Connector documentation doesn't mention anything regarding SSL connection to AD, it only describes SSL connection to OIM.
Anyone has donde this before? Is there any additional step i should follow to enable SSL connection from AD password sync connector to AD? Does the connector support SSL connection to AD?
Regards.

have you tried importing the cert in cacerts under $JAVA_HOME?

Connecting to a Domino LDAP directory

hi..
Is it possible to connect Sun Java Directory server to a Domino LDAP server and create a replica of Domino LDAP accounts on Sun Java Directory server?
the basic idea is to have the Domino Address Book in Communication Express.
Is there any workaround or procedure to follow? We have more than 50,000 emails addresses in Domino Address Book.. how do we get these entries into Sun Java Directory Server?
Thanks
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
There is no standard defining LDAP Replication. The effort at IETF has failed to reach consensus and each vendor has implemented his own replication model and protocols.
As a result, it is not possible to have Sun Directory Server to replicate to or be replicated to from a Domino LDAP directory.
One workaround is use a Meta-Directory product to synchronize the content between the 2 servers.

Ludovic

How to Connect my N79 through Internet on Laptop?

Hi Friends ,
i am facing a problem while connecting my N79 through Internet on my laptop . i am using USB Modem for Internet Connectivity. And i want to share this Internet on my N79 through Wireless LAN . i am using Windows Vista . Please tell me how to Configure my WLAN on my laptop . so that i can use it to browse through my N79.
Please Help Me Guys .....................!!!!!!

Yes, it can be done.
1) Enable "Internet Connection Sharing" on the laptop and share the connection that refers to your USB modem.
2) Ask your ISP what the IP addresses of their nameservers are and make a note of them.
3) Configure the laptop's wireless adapter in ad-hoc mode and assign it a static address on the wireless network.
4) Configure the N79 in ad-hoc mode as well, and give it a static address on the wireless network. Enter manual settings telling it to use the IP address of the laptop as its default gateway and to use the IP addresses given to you by your ISP as its nameservers.
With this, you can use the laptop as your phone's portal to the Internet, but only with your phone. This will only work with one device at a time. If you want to use more than one device at the same time you're better off buying a real wireless router to which you will be able to connect your laptop, your phone and any other wifi-aware device you might have.
NB: I don't use Windows on my machines and therefore can't give any specific information about doing this. The advanced settings needed for the phone will be described in the manual.

Can iDSIE (Meta-directory) be used as a single authentication point from iPlanet Web Server for multiple databases using direct "or" indirect connectors?

Basically, the latest release of iPlanet Web Server forces the user/group information source to be an LDAP database. Currently, the user accounts are in Active Directory, NT, Oracle and NetWare Directory Service in this heterogeneous environment.
What I am looking for is a meta-directory product which can do two things:
1-Single authentiation point for users in mulitple databases from iPlanet Web Server.
2-Single administration point for all of the databases listed above.
For example, can I add/modify/delete a user account at the meta-directory level and have this propagate to all of the databases listed above reducing the administration to one meta-directory product?

With an Virtual Directory solution, you can authenticate Iplanet Web Server against nearly anything including any LDAPv3 Directory Server, Microsoft Active Directory, Windows NT Domains, Oracle RDBMS, IBM DB2 RDBMS, Microsoft SQL, and others.
All of this is done dynamically and doesn't require any heavyweight synchronization process. The Virtual Directory acts as a dynamic schema / DIT / data translation engine for different types of repositories.
OctetString's Virtual Directory Engine is one such example. You can download a 30 day evaluation copy at:
http://www.octetstring.com
It will take you all of 30 minutes to get iPlanet Web Server authenticated against and using groups from things like Oracle RDBMS, Windows NT Domains, or Active Directory.

I have two children each with an ipod which has FaceTime - I have the iphone 4s with FaceTime. All of these devices are connected to itunes through the one account. How do I set up the FaceTime on the two ipods so as it doesn't ring both of them?

I have two children each with an ipod which has FaceTime - I have the iphone 4s with FaceTime. All of these devices are connected to itunes through the one account. How do I set up the FaceTime on the two ipods so as it doesn't ring both of them?

I started to do that then it said that this will become their apple I.D or similar and then I thought that will disconnect them from the same iTunes? I want them still on my iTunes as they are only young (8 and 10)? Or have I got this all wrong and even if I do set them up with a different e-mail will they still be on my itunes? For example if they want to purchase an App will it still go through my account even if they use their ipod?

Can't connect to Facebook through WiFi - Lumina 92...

Both my teenagers have just had upgrades to Nokia Lumina's at the weekend, from an HTC and a Huawei. Both phones are WM8 and both have the Amber update pre-installed.
Unfortunately neither phone can connect with Facebook through the Wi-Fi but CAN connect through 3G. As both tariffs are on low monthly data usage, you can begin to imagine the annoyance they are displaying at having to switch off Wi-Fi just to make Facebook sync.
Everything else works fine and I have trawled through numerous web pages and tried everything imaginable to get this to work, but no luck.
If anybody else has had similar problems across their Wi-Fi, please can you share the solution and help restore some peace back to our household.
Alas, both the previous WM8 phones worked flawlessly and my ancient HTC HD7 also works without a blip.

Hi Squirrel23,
Welcome to the Nokia forum.
Are you using a Facebook app or you've setup your account via E-mail+accounts? Is this happening to just one specific Wi-Fi connection? Have you tried to connect to other Wi-Fi? Have you tried rebooting your phone? ^AR

Can't connect to PPPoE through Linksys anymore....

I've been running my Earthlink DSL through a router for 9 months without any problems. (Model: Linksys WRT54G v3.1)
But yesterday it seemed to just not work anymore.
When I connect the ethernet directly to my Netopia modem from my G4 MDD Powermac, I can connect easily with the 'automatic' settings.
HOWEVER... no matter how many different settings I try, I can't get the connection to work through the Linksys router. I keep getting the message 'Could not find PPPoE server'. The Network Settings says the ethernet is set up and trying to connect, but it can't seem to.
I've tried unplugging, pushing in the reset buttons and all sorts of other things, but nothing works.
I contacted Linksys and they claim you can reload the router firmware with a Mac. But after downloading their firmware update, I found it can't be opened by my Mac.
But I'm wondering if the firmware is even the problem?
Any clues much appreciated....

That sounds like the exceptional tech support experience.
Frankly I'm shocked at how bad the earthlink tech support experience was. In the past it wasn't that bad. It used to be a 3 minute wait and then someone halfway knowledgeable would be there.
This time I waited through 4 minutes of brainless telephone ads until they put me through to the Phillipines to Moron #1 who started off asking in an almost impossilbe to understand accent "What eees your father's middle name?" and then "What ees your credit card number?"
I explained to him that he was supposed to as for the mother's maiden name and that I would NEVER give him my credit card number. And then... after another 3 minutes of telephone ads I got connected to another identical 3rd world slave labor tech person who simply asked me all the same questions over again
Needless to say, the experience was a sad reflection of corporate strategy... thinking this is going to get them customers.
Rant over... thank gosh for the Apple discussion boards!

I wanted to know whether i can diffuse music to the bluetooth only speakers from a airport extreme-connected hard drive through my mac?

I'm interested in the new soundlink mini Bose wireless speakers that function only via bluetooth. I wanted to diffuse music to them from an airport extreme connected hard drive through my macbook air. I don't want to stoc music on my mac given the limited flash drive and don't want to go though wires again. Is that possible? Also I can't go with airport express since those speakers don't have the airplay function.
Thanks a lot for your help or ideas

Macbook pro connects to iphone through bluetooth but can't access the internet

Hello, I have a macbook pro 10.6 and an iphone 3gs 4.3.3. I used to be able to connect the macbook to the iphone through bluetooth using personal hotspot and access the internet but one day it just stopped working. I have tried turning them off and on, disconnecting bluetooth etc but nothing has worked so far. I have tried connecting my iphone to my ipad2 through bluetooth, it works great. The iphone to the macbook through usb and it works great as well. I have tried connecting another iphone to my macbook through bluetooth and it doesn't work. The bluetooth on my macbook seems to be the problem
Well, to be more precise, the macbook sees the iphones, connects to them through bluetooth, the blue bar appears on the iphones screens but the computer wont access the internet.
Any idea?
Thank you very much.

SUCCESS!!!!!
I visited my brother-in-law yesterday and attempted to connect with his secure network. By sheer luck, he is using the exact same model LinkSys router. My iPhone connected first time--so the iPhone was eliminated as a source of the problem.
I didn't do a lot of troubleshooting at his house, but I did notice that his network was set for both dynamic DHCP and dynamic DNS. I know that either or both of Windstream (my ISP) and my broadband modem requires a pair of static DNS addresses.
Sure enough, delving real deep into Windstream's support site, I discovered a LinkSys router DNS help page, specifying how to set static DNS addresses in LinkSys routers. I then accessed my router, enterd the known static addresses, saved the router settings, then rebooted the iPhone and connected to the network.
SUCCESS!!!
Thanks to Jane, who suggested it was an ISP issue, Jason, and all at Apple support. dumonj, I'll email you directly. Try this suggestion and see if it helps.

As kb1951 states, unless this phone was purchased directly from Apple, it is not officially unlocked. In the US, only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones. The message you got generally means your phone was hacked to unlock it...jailbroken...Apple's servers have detected such & are preventing your phone from activating...there's nothing wrong with the activation servers.
You'll need a sim card from the carrier your phone is locked to in order to activate it. If you don't know what carrier, you'll have to call AppleCare in the US to determine this info. Be aware, US carriers will not authorize official unlocking unless you are a customer that used the phone on their network. Thus, there is most likely no way for you to get this phone officially unlocked.
Good luck.

How do you get iPhone 5 to connect to iMac through bluetooth?

How do you get iPhone 5 to connect to iMac through bluetooth?
I know the basic steps, but all I get is pairing unsuccessful. I'm using an older bluetooth, would that make a difference? I got connected once with a Motorola bluetooth, but can't reconnect. TIA!

Note that you need to have Personal Hotspot set up with your carrier and on your iPhone before you can connect the computer.
