Directory Server & RedHat AS support

Good day,
We are using Directory Server 5.2P4 on RHEL 3.
We want to install another copy (which replicates with/to the others) on our Messaging 6.3 server, this server however runs on RHEL 4.
Is this possible and/or supported ?
(and if not which versions are supported on RHEL 4 and/or 5)
I've tried to find this information on the Sun website but have found it difficult to find for RedHat.
Much obliged and kind regards,
Jeffrey

Is 5.2P4 on RHEL 3 is supported? I guess it is :) I think your question is this.. you run 5.2P4 on RHEL 3 and you want to run 5.2P4 on RHEL 4 which is also supported, and replicate between them. Thats fine shouldnt be a problem. I had 5.2P4 on windows 2000 replicating to DS 6.3 on RHEL 4. Sorry I know a few of you just threw up a little in your mouth :)

Sun Java Directory Server 6.3 supports nCipher HSM?

Hi,
We want to do the replication in Master - Master configuration on SSL. Does anyone has an idea whether it is possible to store the SSL Certificate Keys used for replication in nCipher netHSM.
If yes, can anyone provide us the URL on how can it be done or how to go about it?
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. The URL that you mentioned has "Sun Java System Web Server" integration with nCipher HSM.
We have a requirement where we want to do replication between two "Sun Java Directory Servers" on SSL and the keys used are in HSM. We are not using Web Servers in our setup.
If you have any info on integration with Directory Servers, it would be of great help.
Thanks and Regards.

PasswordPolicyControl support in Directory Server 5.2

Hi,
Does the SunOne Directory Server 5.2 support Password Policy Control (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.5.1)?
Thanks,

No, this control will be supported in Directory Server 6.0.

When will Directory Server support RFC 4511?

I would like to know when Sun plans to support the new LDAP v3 suite of RFCs, including RFC 4511?

Thanks Ludovic.
So if a client wants to support the password policies that are currently implemented on Directory Server 5.2, and also the policies that will be implemented in 6.0, then the client needs to support both the "vchu" and "behera" Internet Drafts, correct? Just to make sure I understand the "vchu" draft, the client is NOT required to send a password policy request control to the server in order to get password policy information returned, correct? ALL the policy information comes either in the error string associated with the LDAPResult OR in the 2 new controls defined in "vchu" (for expiring and already-expired passwords). Is all that correct?
Is that the extent of what the client would need to do for support of 5.2? Or are there other password policy issues the client would need to code for in addition to what's in "vchu"?
Also, does the "behera" draft define the extent of Directory Server 6.0 support for password policies, or will there be additional things the client will have to be aware of and code for?
Thanks,
gil
I'm also confused about the relationship between the shadowAccount object class attributes defined in RFC 2307 vs. the password policy supported by Directory Server 5.2 (and 6.0). Are these attributes needed in support of either the "old" or the "new" password policies? Are they obsoleted by either password policy? Do the shadowAccount and password policy attributes operate independently from each other? If so, what do the shadowAccount attributes do for you that the password policy attributes don't? I'm having a hard time sorting out whether I need both types of attributes or only one...
Thanks,
gil

Does Directory Server 5.1 Work on XP

Dumb question, but I am having trouble installing Directory Server 5.1 on a windows XP box.
I am getting the following errors:
1.Setup is Unable to store information in the LDAP Directory.
2.Unable to Create Administration Server Configuration.
3. Could not authenticate LDAP connection, "Unknown Error".
4.Setups post-install mode failed for the subcomponent admin belong to the component admin. Do you wish to continue.
In short a lot of errors. It worked fine on one of my windows 2000 boxes.
Please help. I am sorry to sound a bit dumb, but I am a programmer LDAP enabling an application, not a sytem or directory administrator.
TIA
Jeremy Hartley

As far as I know XP is a workstation OS not a server OS.
Directory SERVER is only supported on NT 4 and Windows 2000 (besides all kind of Unixes of course).

Ludovic.

End of support dates for Directory Server

JNDI Support in Directory Server 5.1 and 5.2

Does anyone know where I can find documentation on whether Directory Server supports - JNDI -(java naming directory interface), and whether this is an industry standard that is outlined in an RFC somewhere?
Thanks

JNDI support is documented in Chapter 35 of the DSRK guide at http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6400-10/jndi.html
JNDI is a part of J2SE, a Java Community Process specification. See http://www.jcp.org

Alias support in directory server 5

Hi,
Is alias dereferencing supported in Directory Server 5? (It is
mentioned in this article that 4.1 did not support it:
http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/ldap/misc/aliases.html).
I am trying to do a search using an alias and it does not seem to be
working. I keep getting the alias entry rather than the referred
entry. I tried setting the DEREF option to DEREF_ALWAYS but this does
not seem to help (code fragment below). Do I need to do something to
enable alias dereferencing on the server? Could it be the version of
LDAP SDK for Java that I am using?
LDAPConnection conn = new LDAPConnection();
conn.connect( "XX.XX.XX.XX", 389 );
conn.setOption( LDAPv2.DEREF, new Integer( LDAPv2.DEREF_ALWAYS )
LDAPSearchResults results;
String filter = "(cn=adminalias)";
try {
results = conn.search( "o=aliases,c=com",
LDAPConnection.SCOPE_ONE, filter, null, false );
while( results.hasMoreElements() )
System.out.println( results.next() );

Does directory proxy server 6.0 support access to ds5.1SP3

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with setting up a directory proxy server 6.0 as a frontend to directory server 5.1SP3 servers ?
(where can I find a list of supported directory servers by the proxy ?)
I would like to use the proxy as part of the migration to a new data centre.
Thanks

Yes Directory Proxy Server 6.0 works with DS 5.1SP3.
DPS uses LDAPv3 protocol and works with most of the LDAPv3 compliant servers. It has been tested with Sun DS, Active Directory, OpenLDAP and OpenDS.
Some specific feature may require the support of the Proxied Authorization Control (RFC 3829), but that's it.
Regards,
Ludovic.

Sun Directory Server role support?

I would like to set up roles in the sun directory and use the identity manager in the future. Does identity manager support the role mechanism used by Sun directory server 5.2 and above? Are there any inconsistencies that I should be aware of?
Also, AFIAK Active Directory does not support multi-valued DN's as attribute values. If I use identity manager to sync Sun DS with AD will user entries with multiple Sun DS roles become a problem?

We are in intial stages of design. Yes that was the goal to take the roles from Sun DS and use them in AD by way of identity manager. I am new to identity manager, so there may be a mapping instead of a direct push.
The Sun DS roles are operational attributes and I am not sure how identity manager sees them or supports them. I guess if it can see tham then it can map them to anything.

Does Directory Server Resource Kit 5.2.1 work on Windows XP?

The Sun ONE Directory Server Resource Kit 5.2.1 is supported on the
following platforms, as per the URL
http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/products/3f74a0db.html.
1. Solaris 8 & 9 - SPARC
2. Solaris 9 x86
3. AIX 5.1
4. HP-UX 11.11
5. RedHat Linux 7.2
6. Sun Linux 5.0
7. Windows 2000 Adv. Server sp2
8. Windows NT 4.0 SP6a
Which software should be used for LDAP access for the following platforms:
a) Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1
b) Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 3.0
c) Red Hat Linux 6
d) Windows XP Professional
e) Solaris 2.6 (also referred to as Solaris 6).

Which software should be used for LDAP access forthe
following platforms:
a) Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1
b) Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 3.0So far, DSRK has not been validated for these
platforms.
c) Red Hat Linux 6Don't know/cannot remember. DSRK 5.1 works with 2.2
kernels, see
http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/products/3ed6999
3.html
d) Windows XP ProfessionalSo far, DSRK has not been validated for this
platform, either.
It is theoretically possible that XP support may come
with Sun Java Studio,
http://wwws.sun.com/software/learnabout/javastudio/ind
ex.html
e) Solaris 2.6 (also referred to as Solaris 6).DSRK 5.1 also supports Solaris 2.6.We had ported our app to RH Server 2.1 using 5.2.1 with no problem... however, we encountered undefined symbol errors attempting to build against 5.2.1 on RH Server 3.0, specifically __ctype... symbols.
Doe Sun intend on supporting RH servers? or only the older RH distributions?

You are correct. Dir 5.2 is not certified for AIX 5.2. It does install though. Like a previous reponse stated. Check the permissions for the user you are installing with and the file system you are installing to. Make certain you have enough disk space. My install took 150 MB of disk space. Finally, Dir 5.2 creates the file "/var/adm/sw/productregistry" during install. If you do not have permissions to /var/adm/sw, you may have troubles.

H/w requirements for DIrectory server for 200,000 users

Hi,
I would like to implement Directory services for 200,000 users. How can I know whether iPlanet Directory 5.1 will support this many users or not? If supports, Which h/w I have to use?
If any one can let me know the formula to calculate users and h/w
Thanks

The directory server can handle many more users than 200K. The hardware requirements calculations are amply explained in the book "Solaris and LDAP Naming Services" by Bialaski. If you have iPlanet support contract they can provide you tuning information which includes this info.
You should remember the possibility of growth and load in terms of number of clients and peak requests per second. With your needs, my gut feeling is that even a Netra can host it. However, if it's an enterprise service you may want to go with at least 220 machines in a replicated configuration for load balancing and availability.
DISCLAIMER: Use these opinions at your own risk. You must do your own analysis and calculations to design a suitable physical/logical architecture.
