Installation Error with iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 SP1 and Windows 2000

Hello,
I'm having real trouble getting iPlanet Directory Server installed on a Windows 200 Server machine. Every time I install it, no matter what options I choose, I get this series of popup boxes at the end:
- Setup is unable to store configuration data in the LDAP directory
- Unable to create Administration Server configuration
- Could not authenticate ldap connection, "Unknown error"
- Unable to set ACI in Configuration Directory Server
But searching on this forum, I have found a lot of post. I have tested the different solution proposed :
* Add on the host file the short name and the long name of my machine with it's IP adress
* When the installation process crash, uninstall the software, reboot the machine and then restart the installation
With all this solution, the problem is always here.
Could you help me ?

Are you using Terminal Services. iPlanet DS will not install properly over Terminal Services. You have to install from the direct attached console.

Error in iPlanet Directory Server documentation ?

According the the Directory Server Schema Reference (http://docs.sun.com/db/coll/S1_ipDirectoryServer_51), a "Directory String indicates that values for this attribute are not case sensitive". Moreover, "IA5String indicates that values for this attribute are case sensitive".
I thought a Directory String was a Unicode UTF-8 string, and could be made case sensitive or not case sensitive. As for IA5String, I thought it was just a 7-bits ASCII.
Is this an error in the Directory Server documentation ?
Christophe

An error perhaps in that they do not conform with the standards, but that's how the DS treats them - DirString is case insensitive, and iA5String is case sensitive.

Replication problem with iPlanet directory server 5.1 SP2 HF1

If I make a apply a change to either of consumer servers for an entry that belongs to the large database, that change does get applied to the consumer targated but it can not refer the change to teh master. Neither the master, nor the other consumers get updated consequently. I did not have this problem with directory server 5.1 SP1. I only see this problem after I apply directory server 5.1 SP2 HF1.
From the error log file, I see the following message:
NSMMReplicationPlugin - repl_set_mtn_referrals: could not set referrals for replica

I have a suggestion - try another means for administering your directory - use the console only for maintenance and tuning purposes. There are several products out there that are much better for day to day operations ...
Otherwise - I think with 5.1 the view is based on the rdn of the entries - and I am not sure it is customizable. Additionally I know 5.2 solved your second issue - maybe the latest SP of 5.1 has solved it as well - though I don't really know ...

Problem with iPlanet Directory server v5.1

Hi all,
We have upgraded (parallel) from Netscape Directory server v4.2 to iPlanet Directory Server v5.1
Here are few issues that I�m experiencing.
1. In the directory view, all accounts are displayed by the user ID rather then the Common Name like it used to be with the Netscape Directory Server.
I can not find any options to change the view.
2. When searching for the user, once user is found, i can not do the right click to be able to delete the user. (was able to in the older version).
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Are there any known issues concerning using DIGEST-MD5 SASL authentication with iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 on Windows NT 4.0?

I am developing support for the DIGEST-MD5 sasl mechnism on a c-ldap client. I am using the evaluation version of the iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 which lists DIGEST-MD5 as a supported SASL mechanism. The server is running on NT 4.0 After installing the Directory Server with the test database, a changed the passwordStorageScheme from the default of SSHA to clear text. I then added my test user. When I run my test I always get back a resultCode of 49 (invalidCredentials). The digest-challenge I receive from the server and my digest-response are shown below. I have satisfied myself that the calculation of the response directive in the digest response is correct. Does anyone see any problems in the digest response or have any other suggestions? Is there a known problem with the iPlanet Directory Server 5.0?
digest-challenge:
realm="BGB2.ndp.provo.novell.com",nonce="Ed8UPLXsWaC6CN",qop="auth",algorithm=md5-sess,charset=utf-8
digest-response:
username="uid=bgbrown,ou=people,dc=siroe,dc=com",realm="BGB2.ndp.provo.novell.com",cnonce="A9IuPJKr30RiwL",nc=00000001,qop=auth,digest-uri="ldap/BGB2.ndp.provo.novell.com",response=97061205298e5ebaf206c8ac3598fdce,charset=utf-8,nonce="Ed8UPLXsWaC6CN"

Found the answer. When the username is an LDAP DN it needs to be proceeded by "dn:".
example: username="dn:uid=bgbrown,ou=people,dc=siroe,dc=com"
The server also accepts a simple uid value.
example: username="bgbrown"

Were you trying to create a new index and then reintdex the Database....if so Did you check the free space of your database filesystem??because it mentions about space problem for the database..after reindexin

Connect IPlanet Directory Server(5.0) with ADSI

Has anyone ever had to connect to a iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 with ADSI?
I can retrieve the entries(user's information), but I can't add the
user-defined objClass and attributes to entries(user).
If you know, please kindly to give me some hints about this.
Many Thanks,
Kat

Make sure the user-defined schema is present on the server before you try to use it. Also you will need appropriate permissions for updating and will very likely need to bind before you try to update.

Error while installing iplanet directory server 5.0

Hi I am trying to install iPlanet directory server 5.0 on my local machine.My computer name doesnot contain any domain name.it is simply like "ERT3210".
While installing Directory server it is asking for the computer name and if i give the computer name without domain it is not accepting.And i am unable to rename my computer name suffixing domain name as it is not contained in any domain..Now How can i give the computer name to install directory server?.Its very urgent for me.It will be great help if any one give reply.

Start/Stop Directory Server and Start/Stop Admin Server are usually present in My Computer/Manage/Services, just start or stop the service.
Assuming the install root directory is %LDAP_ROOT%
You could always create program icons for
1) start/stop dirrectory server
%LDAP_ROOT%\slapd-%COMPUTERNAME%\start-slapd.exe
%LDAP_ROOT%\slapd-%COMPUTERNAME%\stop-slapd.exe
2) start/stop admin server
%LDAP_ROOT%\start-admin.exe
%LDAP_ROOT%\stop-admin.exe
3) SUN ONE Console (iPlanet Console)
%LDAP_ROOT%\startconsole.exe

Instalation problem with iplanet direcory server

1)setup is unable to store data in the LDAP directory
2) unable to create administartion server configuration
3)could ot authenticate ldap connection
4) unable to set aci in configuration directory server
after installation of iplanet server with some errors it is asking for
administration url.
let me know how to find this administartion url.
plz send me the solution asap.

Check out the below.
Problem 4680491. CSS causes oserr=130 in iWS 6.0 logs.
Workaround
If you are using the Cisco Content Services Switch (CSS) with Sun ONE Web Server and have set the value of the sticky bit setting in CSS to on, the following error is logged periodically in the error logs:
failure ( 2210): Error accepting connection -5928, oserr=130 (Connect aborted)
This is caused not by a defect in Sun ONE Web Server but by the setting of the sticky bit in CSS. To avoid the error logging, set the value of the sticky bit in CSS to off.
Which as been fixed in iWS 6.0 SP5.
For more info check the below link.

IPlanet directory server can't start in a user account - A bug?

I installed iplanet directory server 5.1 in Solaris 9. I am using typical install mode. I set UserA/GroupA to represent the directoy server that means the directory server instance running in this user account. After I input the user name and group name, it gives a very strange message, say "suffix must have a valid dn. Press any key to continue" After I press any key, it continue to do other setup. Once instllation done, if I try to login as that user account and start-slapd, it just give an error message, " iplanet/servers/bin/slapd/server do not have permission". I checked this directory, UserA do not have even read access to the directory.
So is this a bug in this verion of directory server/
Thanks,
Iris

It's very likely that you gave an Invalid DN for the Suffix of your directory instance...
The setup should have asked again the DN... It looks like a problem with the setup command.

Question re how iPlanet Directory Server applies the Look Through Limit.

I have a question on how iPlanet Directory Server applies the lookthrough limit...
I am running an LDAP search on a 4.13 directory. The search filter is:
"(&(rtrdaMaturityDate>=20020128)(rtrdaMaturityDate<=20020130))"
rtrdaMaturityDate is an int, and indexed with pres,eq,sub
There are 244680 entries where rtrdamaturityDate>=20020128
383005 entries where rtrdaMaturityDate<=20020130
484 entries which satisfy both conditions
When the query is run as Directory Manager it just hangs (presumably it would complete eventually).
When run as another user it gives a size limit error. The size limit and lookthrough limit on the directory are both 5000 . As the matching number of entries doesn't exceed the size limit, I think perhaps it is the lookthrough limit causing the problem...
It looks as if it treats each part of the filter separately, building an candidate list for each, giving an error if both reach the look through limit. i.e. it does not realise that both parts of the filter could be treated together.
Is this correct ?
This theory is born out by the fact that if I change the value so the filter would logically return only the highest few values, the search works (i.e. as if the <= filter condition hit LTL, but the >= did not).
Also, if I add another condition to give "(&(rtrdaIssuerBgNid=4403)(rtrdamaturityDate>=20020128)(rtrdaMaturityDate<=20020130))" then the search eventually correctly returns a single entry. (IssuerBgNid=4403 on its own gives 1004 entries).
Can I therefore assume that a seach will only work if at least one condition in the filter gives a candidate list with less entries than the look through limit?
Any advice on how to implement a range search like this would also be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave.

The lookthrough limit is reached when the resulting candidate list contains more entries than the limit...
Lookthrough limit has been implemented specifically to for Range filters (and OR filters) to avoid consuming too many resources.
For your particular problem, you can increase the lookthrough limit... but it will affect all users and searches.
Note that iPlanet Directory Server 5.x does provide a per User LookThrough Limit (and other limits as well), therefore you could just increase the lookthrough limit for the specific users performing these searches.
Regards,
Ludovic.

Deployment Manager Error with Oracle Weblogic Server 10.3.1

I have installed Identity Manager 9.1.0.2 (patch upgraded from 9.1.0.1) on OEL 5.3 64bit and Weblogic 10.3.1
Database:Oracle 11gR2 (remote machine).
**I am aware that IM 9.1.0.2 is not certified on Weblogic 10.3.1 (it is only certified on 10.3),
The installation was successful and OIManager is up and running. Able to create Users, Resources etc. as well.
As part of configuring OIM Connectors tried to Import .xml file using Import option from Deployment Management section as below and the following error was displayed.
"Either your session timed out or you are trying to access a page without logging in".
Did all workarounds like enabling java, changing browsers, restarting machine etc as per the below discussion but in vain.
Deployment Manager Error with Oracle Weblogic Server
Can any one suggest any workaround or solution for this problem.
Or atleast can any one confirm there is no Identity manager available on this date which is compatible with 10.3.1? and cannot be continued further.
Thanks in Advance
Sudheer
Edited by: SudheerPrabhala on Oct 20, 2009 1:26 AM

You are facing this issue because you're using a non certified combination.
Other folks who tried to use OIM in 10.3.1 ended up in the same problem you're facing.

Solaris 8 and iPlanet Directory Server 5.1: Help

Could anyone help with advice or where to find documentation of how to setup a Solaris 8 client machine to authenticate against iPlanet Directory Server 5.1? The only documentation (eg books, BluePrint articles) I can find cover iPlanet Directory 4.11 or 4.12 and a Solaris 8 client. Even the tools from the BluePrint Tools area at Sun only talk about using iPlanet Directory Server 4.11/12. Quite a lot seems to have change from iDS 4.12 to iDS5.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Stewart

Hi Steven, I suppose that this question is identical to your other question: " Topic: solaris 8 client setup with solaris 9 ldap".
So the answer will be the same.
You may find what you are looking for in the following technical note: http://knowledgebase.iplanet.com/ikb/kb/articles/7966.html
It is called: "Cookbook for Solaris 8 client with Directory Server 5.1/Solaris 9"
