Format Of LDAP Server List for Netmail

Could anyone please explain what the format for using an ldap server for address lookups in Netmail. ie:
servername:port/searchbase or ldap://servername:port/searchbase. I have tried a few but can't seem to get it to work. Everytime I try to add a server to this list, the Java Netmail will not allow me compose a message.. anyone have any ideas..

Chris -
Each entry is a comma separated list of name/value pairs in the following format: name="value". Quotation marks are not allowed in any value. The valid names and corresponding preference are:
name the user-friendly name for the server; this is what the user sees in the NetMail Address Search tab.
server the host name of the LDAP server. If a port is needed, use host:port.
base the search base expression, e.g., ou=People
searchin the list of attributes to search in, e.g., cn,givenname
result the attribute to use as the result, defaults to mail
filter additional search filters to be applied
referral whether or not to follow referrals, true or false
Only the server value is required, all others are filled in with defaults if necessary. A typical entry might be:
name="Company Address Book", server="ourldap.xyz.com", base="dc=xyz,dc=com"

LDAP server support for NetWeaver

I would like to know what LDAP Directory servers are officially supported by Netweaver versions. I have been scouring the web and can not find any document where it is written which product is officially support. Some places I read about Novell, but nothing concrete on the offical support .
Does anyone know the answer and where I can find more info on this.
Thanks

Hi Frajib,
   I don't think I've seen a list for netweaver in general. I do know for the Portal application on Web AS 6.40 you have the following LDAP options.
   MS ADS
   SUN ONE
   NOVELL LDAP Server
   Siemens LDAP Server
Hope this helps.

Ldap server authentication for EAI domain

Hi everybody,
I have configured a new realm fot the security of the created EAI Domain and
made it default. In this realm, the authentication provider is the iPlanet LDAP

Now the booting is fine but then when I am starting the Weblogic Studio, it is
not getting authenticated and I keep getting the error :

Hello Ritwik,
it should for sure, but with this release WLI depends on the

Definitive server list for patching?

After two attempts of getting the firewall rules right to allow a server to patch itself (after akamai changed their IP address!), I've deployed Sun Update Connection Proxy only to discover yet another server requires access.
Is there a definitive list? So far I have:
- 198.232.168.136 (getupdates1.sun.com)
- 198.232.168.133 (cns-services.sun.com)
- 198.232.168.137 (cns-transport.sun.com)
- 72.5.124.61 (www.sun.com)
- 198.232.168.134 (getupdates.sun.com) - discovered with SUPC
- 193.38.108.198, 193.38.108.214 (a248.e.akamai.net) - although this changes from day-to-day
Perhaps 193.38.108.0/24 for akamai is better? And 198.232.168.0/24 for Sun's servers?
Any more additions that I should be aware of? This will save me bugging the firewall admin every 5 minutes to change the rule!
Iain

Unfortunately not. Whilst the firewall does an IP lookup when the rule is created, it isn't dynamic so it very quickly becomes out of date. Looking at traffic from the server, I think the patch software keeps trying Akamai, then falls back to Sun if/when that connection times out.
Having discussed it with colleagues, we think the best solution for now is to probably create a rule that allows the patch server to connect to any server on 443/tcp. That covers any change made by Akamai, although it's not an ideal solution.
Thanks for your comments.

SMDIAG_WIZARD: no server listed for selected solution

Hello,
I am trying to set up SMD for our Enterprise Portal 6.0 on Netweaver 04. I have defined a solution which includes this system and also shows the correct server. But when I run SMDIAG_WIZARD and select this solution no server shows up in the next step. This is the first Java application I am integrating, so not sure if I missed anything.
Thanks.

Hi Frederic,
thanks. The missing part was the definition of the System Component. The Server is now showing up.
Thanks for your help,

Usage of external LDAP server with Portal

Hi All,
We are in a situation to use external LDAP server with WLP 8.1. These are the
constraints we have to deal with:
1. Only read is allowed from this LDAP server.
2. This would be used for authentication purpose
If thats the case, how can we use Visitor Entitlements/Delegated Admin and Group
creation using Portal Admin tool since this will write to the configured LDAP
server.
Can somebody answer my question:
1. Can we use external LDAP server - just for authetication (I know this is possible
by using JAAS LoginModule, but I just want to get confirmed on this ) and
2. Use default and embedded LDAP server for all others like Group/Visitor Entitlements/DAs.
Any relevant pointers are also welcome.
TIA,
Prashanth Bhat.

You can add the external LDAP server just for authentication, but in
versions through
8.1 SP2 WLP will want to verify the user exists (via the UserReaderMBean)
during
the login process (this check has been removed in SP3). A work around
is to
duplicate
the user in a provider that does impl UserReaderMBean.
Prashanth : You mean to say we have to duplicate the User in embedded LDAP server
also??
>>

Yes, the default/embedded LDAP can still be used for DA/visitor
entitlements. In the current
release, the Portal Admin Tools can only be configured to use a single
authentication provider
while forming entitlements. In SP3, all configured providers are
listed/usable by the tools.Prashanth : How can we configure Portal Admin tool to use authentication provider
for entitlements??

Using Portal Server's DS 5.1 as a general LDAP server

Does anybody use the Portal Server's "built in" Directory Server 5.1 as a general LDAP server? For instance, using the DS to authenticate workstations?
When I installed our Portal Server 6.0, I installed it on a seperate host so I could use it for other things besides just the Portal Server.
Before I went this route, I spoke with a Sun engineer and he said it was just like the "full blown" DS 5.1. I figured "Why have two directory servers when one will do the job for everything?"
Now that I am eyeball deep in this project and about to go production, a different Sun engineer says not to do this because the portal server "wants to have the dir server all to itself." That's a real technical answer.
Does anybody else do this and have you run into any problems?
The Directory Server should scale just fine for our portal server and the little bit of misc use elsewhere.
Any insight would be helpful.

Hi,
because the portal server "wants to have the dir server >> all to itself." That's a real technical answer.- ?! Why is that?! - asked I the portal and my
portal told me, that he wouldn't mind to share
his user directory with other appications e.g. calendar/im/mail servers...
Just kidding,
It is actually nice to have one userbase in one clean directory!
Cheers,
Alex :-)

Multiple IT Resources for LDAP Server?

All,
I have a client with several Sun Java System Directory Server (SJSDS) instances, each containing separate user repositories. The schemas for each SJSDS instance have been customised - uid is not the user identifier attribute, nor is inetorgperson the user objectClass.
I have imported the SJSDS connector and am stuck at how I can represent these multiple real-world SJSDS instances in OIM. I understand that I can create separate IT Resources for each SJSDS instance, complete with their individual hostnames and IP addresses; this makes sense. However, according to the "Extending the Functionality" guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11223_01/doc.904/e10446/custom.htm#CIHDDEGA), the user identifier attribute and objectClass seem to be defined at the connector level through the Lookup.iPlanet.Configuration Lookup Definition? Am I correct in therefore assuming that this means all of my LDAP Server IT Resources have to share the same user identifier attribute and objectClass?
Can anyone suggest how I might be able to define unique settings for attributes such as the user identifier attribute and objectClass for each LDAP Server IT Resource? What is the standard approach?
Also, I read that there is a one-to-one relationship between a process task and its adapter. Does this therefore mean that I should create separate "Create User" adapters for the Process Definition associated with each IT Resource implemented?
Any guidance / clarification would be greatly appreciated :-)
Damian

See this is the underlying assumption for multiple instances creation in OIM for any target system:
- Create multiple IT Resources of same IT Resource type. Each one will have individual connection parameters specified in it. You know that.
- Now while provisioning, you just select anyone of this IT Resource as required, so your request is directed towards the required target.
Note
- It considers that you are always provisioning same attributes to all those targets because you will always see same process form for all targets.
- You have same objectClass for all.
- You have same 'Unique Attribute' and 'Key Fields' for reconciliation.
- Although you can modify the IT Resource for providing different attribute list for prov and recon based on your target system by providing different values for look up's in place of- AttrName.Prov.Map.iPlanet and AttrName.Recon.Map.iPlanet. But since RO, Process Form etc all are same so no such real usage.
Note - Lookup - 'AttrName.Prov.Map.iPlanet' has got one attribute objectclass. See if modifying it works. But in OIM process form, attributes will always be same
Work-Around if above doesn't work
The only thing you can do is replicate one instance of SJSDS multiple times within OIM for every OIM object. Say if you want 5 different instances of SJSDS then like following:
- Create 5 identical RO, Process Form, rules, Process Definition, Lookup's etc within xml for every OIM object that you thing will change for all these 5 instances. If anything is common then let all the 5 refer to it. Do it by copying + renaming xml.
- Now import everything in OIM. So now you can see 5 different RO like SJSDS1, SJSDS2 ,SJSDS3 .. etc for all these 5 instances and they will behave differently with no overlapping and you can configure these individually.
- But this is very critical procedure. You need to take proper care while replicating.
Hope it helps.
Thanks

Problems with LDAP: "LDAP server prefix is not of the correct format"

Hello!
We use a Mac OS X Server (10.4.9) with Open Directory for authentication of the clients in our network. Furthermore, that machine serves home directories and mobile accounts.
Every now and then a client hangs during login: After submitting login information, the system does not respond anymore (shows 'hourglass'). A few minutes later, the login process continues.
The system log on the client contains the following lines:

What should be done in certmap.conf for 2-way SSL support from a standalone Java application to an SSL enabled LDAP Server

To support certficate based client authentication using 2-way SSL from a standalone java application which uses JNDI and JSSE1.0.2 to connect to an SSL enabled LDAP Server how do we configure the certmap.conf?Is there any additional setup required at the LDAP Server side apart from enablinf SSL with the option"Required Client Authentication" enabled.The 2 way SSL handshake goes through but the access log file (After configuring the certmap.conf for the issuer DN of the client certficate etc..)shows SSL failed to LDAP DN?But inspite of this access log error the Java client does get an SSL Connection object with which it is able to connect to the LDAP.IS the certmap.conf file being looked up by the LDAP Server at all?

have you out.flush() and out.close() before you call connection.getInputStream()?

2K8 - Best practice for setting the DNS server list on a DC/DNS server for an interface

We have been referencing the article
"DNS: DNS servers on <adapter name> should include their own IP addresses on their interface lists of DNS servers"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378900%28WS.10%29.aspx but there are some parts that are a bit confusing. In particular is this statement
"The inclusion of its own IP address in the list of DNS servers improves performance and increases availability of DNS servers. However, if the DNS server is also a domain
controller and it points only to itself for name resolution, it can become an island and fail to replicate with other domain controllers. For this reason, use caution when configuring the loopback address on an adapter if the server is also a domain controller.
The loopback address should be configured only as a secondary or tertiary DNS server on a domain controller.”
The paragraph switches from using the term "its own IP address" to "loopback" address. This is confusing becasuse technically they are not the same. Loppback addresses are 127.0.0.1 through 127.255.255.255. The resolution section then
goes on and adds the "loopback address" 127.0.0.1 to the list of DNS servers for each interface.
In the past we always setup DCs to use their own IP address as the primary DNS server, not 127.0.0.1. Based on my experience and reading the article I am under the impression we could use the following setup.
Primary DNS: Locally assigned IP of the DC (i.e. 192.168.1.5)
Secondary DNS: The assigned IP of another DC (i.e. 192.168.1.6)
Tertiary DNS: 127.0.0.1
I guess the secondary and tertiary addresses could be swapped based on the article. Is there a document that provides clearer guidance on how to setup the DNS server list properly on Windows 2008 R2 DC/DNS servers? I have seen some other discussions
that talk about the pros and cons of using another DC/DNS as the Primary. MS should have clear guidance on this somewhere.

Actually, my suggestion, which seems to be the mostly agreed method, is:
Primary DNS: Locally assigned IP of the DC (i.e. 192.168.1.5)
Secondary DNS: The assigned IP of another DC (i.e. 192.168.1.6)
Tertiary DNS: empty
The tertiary more than likely won't be hit, (besides it being superfluous and the list will reset back to the first one) due to the client side resolver algorithm time out process, as I mentioned earlier. Here's a full explanation on how
it works and why:
This article discusses:
WINS NetBIOS, Browser Service, Disabling NetBIOS, & Direct Hosted SMB (DirectSMB).
The DNS Client Side Resolver algorithm.
If one DC or DNS goes down, does a client logon to another DC?

I agree with this proposed solution as well:
Primary DNS: Locally assigned IP of the DC (i.e. 192.168.1.5)
Secondary DNS: The assigned IP of another DC (i.e. 192.168.1.6)
Tertiary DNS: empty
One thing to note, in this configuration the Best Practice Analyzer will throw the error:
The network adapter Local Area Connection 2 does not list the loopback IP address as a DNS server, or it is configured as the first entry.
Even if you add the loopback address as a Tertiary DNS address the error will still appear. The only way I've seen this error eliminated is to add the loopback address as the second entry in DNS, so:
Primary DNS: The assigned IP of another DC (i.e. 192.168.1.6)
Secondary DNS: 127.0.0.1
Tertiary DNS: empty
I'm not comfortable not having the local DC/DNS address listed so I'm going with the solution Ace offers.

Need help setting up LDAP server for Address Book

I've set up Panther servers before for AFP which is pretty simple but now the office I work at wants me to setup an LDAP server so they can share the same contact information, probably about 2,000+ entries. I'm guessing that this will have to be entered in the LDAP server entry by entry.
I need to know how to setup the server and what settings need to be on the clients' computers, such as in Address Book.
The server is an older G4 tower and I've got 8 computers hooked up to it on a simple network. I don't think I'll need to make the LDAP server accessible from outside the network but it's something I'll have to worry about for the future.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Yast2 channel-upgrade-oes command looking for wrong ldap server

a little background info
Today I upgraded our first OES-Linux server from OES11 to OES11sp1.This
was the first OES-L server that we installed for our migration from
NetWare. Everything has been working fine and today I upgraded it so it
would be at the same patch level as the other servers before we moved to
OES11sp2.
The upgrade went fine until the final step
I was following the "Novell Doc: OES 11 SP1: Installation Guide -
Channel Upgrade from OES 11 to OES 11 SP1"
The final step says:
"After the reboot, log on to the server and run the yast2
channel-upgrade-oes command to complete the OES services
reconfiguration. This will prompt for eDirectory" password...
When I put in the eDirectory password it fails with a message that it
cannot contact the LDAP server on the NetWare server that used to be our
main LDAP server. That server has been gone for almost 2yrs.
I'm assuming there is a conf file I can change the address in and move
forward. I poked around and could not find a file that had the old LDAP
servers IP address in it. Does anyone know where this configuration file
would be?

Nevermind - I spoke too soon (and apparently forgot how to use grep to
search for strings in files...)
it was reading the old NetWare server IP address in a file named
/etc/sysconfig/novell/edir2_oes11
I put the correct address into the /etc/sysconfig/novell/edir_oes11 and
it worked
