How to determine LDAP server type

Hello,
Please post some hints how to determine LDAP server type(MS AD, OpenLDAP, Novell, Sun...) from rootDSE or somehow else?
Thank you,
Vladislav

Hello Vladislav,
the root DSE should be the best place to look for such
things, I'd say. This is where an LDAP server advertises
its capabilities. However, I'm not aware of an easy, fail-
safe way of doing the distinguishing. One way, which would
need some good logic, though, would be to go by supported
OIDs, e.g. a SunONE DS 5.x will have attribute values like
this in the rootDSE:
supportedExtension=2.16.840.1.113730.3.5.3
supportedExtension=2.16.840.1.113730.3.5.5
(basically saying the DS supports it's own replication
protocol). But it is quite feasible for other servers
to support this protocol and thus advertise those OIDs
in the rootDSE. Therefore you'd probably need to check your
logic again and again for every new release of every known
directory server.
My 2 cents,
Karl.

    I would like to determine exchange rate type in shipment costs document, but I don't want to do it manually.
    Can anyone please give me a hint on how to do it?
    Thanks & Regards

    System will determine the exchange rate type based on value maintained in exchange rate table.Tcode OB08.
    It will post the difference if any in the GL mentioned in transaction event key KDM in tcode OBYC.

  • How to run LDAP server?

    LDAP Server (slapd) is stopped how can I it to run?

    Hi
    I’ve seen your other post and it seems to be related, so this reply to applies to both of your posts. For LDAP Services and Kerberos authentication to run you need to configure DNS and promote your server to an Open Directory Master. An Open Directory master is an LDAP Server and KDC combined so it does not need to join anything as it is providing these services to any client computers you may want to bind to it.
    If you are deploying OSX Server in an existing network with an AD Domain Controller then you can integrate OSX Server and use existing Active Directory LDAP, DNS and KDC Services. It will be the AD Administrator who will have information regarding this. You will need to speak to him if this is the case for your situation.
    Before you reply to this look in the Open Directory & Authentication Forum where you will find plenty of advice on what I think is the reason for your post. What exactly do you want to do anyway?
    Hope this helps – Tony

  • How to query LDAP server and get DB Service names?

    Hi, before making a connection to an Oracle database, if i want to get list of Databases available,
    i could use OracleClientFactory (and CreateDataSourceEnumerator and GetDataSources) to get list of tnsnames from the local tnsnames.ora file
    Now, if i instead want to query the LDAP server with a given context and get the DB Service list,
    how can i do that using ODP.NET?
    I am using Visual Studio C# 2010 and ODP.NET 11.2
    Thanks,

  • How to change LDAP server setting in Access Manager 6.2

    Hi,
    We have initially set authentication as a SunONE Directory Server 5.1 (master DS1) in Sun Java System Access Manager 6.2. In both /etc/opt/SUNWam/config/serverconfig.xml
    /etc/opt/SUNWam/config/AMConfig.properties
    conf files, DS1 was set initially. Also on console's Service Configuration ->LDAP->Primary LDAP Server was set as "DS1"
    Now the problem is that I am not able to change the DS1 to the other master "DS2". I set DS2 in both above conf files and also the Service Configuration page as Primary LDAP Server. I restarted the server. When I stopped the DS1, I couldn't login access manager console with any user. It looks like it is still trying to get authentication from DS1.
    Does anybody know what I am missing here?
    Regards,

    After hopeless tries, I finally made it work;) The trick was actually updating the sunKeyValue attribute of the entry:
    "dn:ou=default,ou=OrganizationConfig,ou=1.0,ou=iPlanetAMAuthLDAPService,ou=ser
    vices,dc=company,dc=com" in one of the master DS I have.
    Even though I set DS2 and loadBalancer hosts in all conf files and in Primary LDAP conf in amconsole's Service Configuration, it just didn't work until I inserted loadBalancer host in sunKeyValue attribute.
    Hope it helps to someone....

  • How to build LDAP server?

    Hi all!
    I do have address book of company based on Oracle tables, what
    should I do populate them as LDAP entries? Does it true that
    the only option is to copy address book entries to existing
    LDAP server? Or I could use known API to build my own LDAP server
    on top of available DB tables?
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    You may be able to find something which sits in front
    of your db and makes it "look like" an LDAP data store
    to your jndi code. The only such thing I'm aware of is
    something called "VDE" ("Virtual Directory Engine" I
    think) from a company called "OctetString".
    What you can do with their product (and it is a
    commercial product) is configure an adapter which, on
    one side, does SQL calls to your db and, on the other,
    responds to JNDI calls. So the flow is something like:
    (1) your program makes a jndi call, which (2) goes to
    VDE which (3) translates the call into one or more sql
    calls (which you configure inside the product), (4)
    then VDE collects the resulting data, (4) swizzles it
    into the appropriate objects and (5) responds to your
    original JNDI call.
    I've never used their product in this way but this is
    my understanding, conceptually anyway, of what it
    does. There may also be other gizmos available
    elsewhere which work this way. Thanks a lot! It's exactly what I have been looking for!
    I've downloaded evaluation copy, checked and right now
    writing memo for finance guys asking to allocate financial
    resources to buy VDE :)

  • How to determine the transaction type?

    Hello,
    I have a requirement to disable the user when the role string field on the usr form is empty. I set up a post update entity adapter to do that and it works fine.
    When I want to enable the user using the Enable button, the above post update entity adapter detects that the role string field is empty and the user is Active, it disables the user right back.
    So, I need to set up a pre-update entity adapter that can detect the type of transaction. If the transaction is to Enable the Xellerate User, then I will update the role string to a dummy value (as long as it's not empty) so that the Disable adapter doesn't get fired.
    Is this possible to do? Where can I find the transaction type information for a given Object?
    Thanks

    Thanks
    This is the information that i got :
    java version "1.4.2_07"

    from this i could make out that the jvm is client version,, but how do i determine which vendor has provided the jvm .

  • How to determine the object type?

    Hi,
    I got a method that is of the following signature:
    Object result = method.invoke(object,args);The result can be any type from primitive types like double to class type.
    How can I determine whether the result object is of what type?
    I am thinking of using
    (if result instanceof Double)
          //do something
    }However, the method call invoke can return a primitive type double, so will the above method
    (if result instanceodf Double) be called?
    Thanks.

    However, the method call invoke can return a primitive
    type double, so will the above method
    (if result instanceodf Double) be called?(result instanceof Double) will be true because quoting the javadocs for Method.invoke(): "if the value has a primitive type, it is first appropriately wrapped in an object."

  • How to determine the MIME types of the files?

    I'm making an application, in which I've to upload the files to the database. Now I want to insert into the database the MIME type of the files. Now how can I know that which type of the file is having which MIME type?
    where can I get the list of all supported MIME types?
    Even if I get the list, then every time I update the file in the database, so every time I have to check the file extension and then insert the MIME type...
    this seems to be a tedioius job..
    Is there any simple way to do this?

    I could ask "supported by what?" but I assume you will
    be the one supporting them. Here's a link to the
    latest list of registered MIME types.HERE's the link...

  • How do we install LDAP server and configure ?..

    How to configure LDAP server...

    You'll have more luck in the forum for LDAP: Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) & Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition/Sun DSEE
    I suggest that you also include more information in your posts about what you've already tried to do and why it doesn't seem to be working. Simply asking "how to configure LDAP" isn't going to elicit many responses....You need to show you've actually attempted it yourself.
    Also, you'll always want to include the versions of the software you're using.

  • Setting up LDAP Server to lookup Connection Factories using JNDI

    Can someone let me know how to setup LDAP server within 10G to lookup connection factories using JNDI?
    I read through the Advanced Queuing User Guide and Reference document where this is mentioned and it says use the Database Configuration Assistant to do this but I could not find how.
    When I install 10G is LDAP server automatically setup? How do I get to it?
    Thanks

    That is correct. I was indeed able to use the app server (10g) to give the LDAP user permission to access the objects, then used sql commands to register the objects inside the LDAP.
    However, I am finding NOTHING about actually creating a unique connection factory that can be registered in the LDAP. I find reference to registering Queues/Topics/Factories inside the LDAP, but nothing about actually creating the factories.
    In fact, here
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28420/aq_envir.htm#sthref409
    it's listed that you cannot use sql to create a connectionfactory... not to mention the create java commands for factories look strikingly similar to the queue/topic GET commands, and not the create commands. You can add an alias for that factory using sql, but can't actually create the factory using sql... ???
