Integration of existing AD and existing OD infrastructures

We have a well established Active Directory and a well established OpenDirectory with file systems participating in each. At this time, both directories are autonomous. We need to make the existing file systems offered on the XServes in OD accessible by AD accounts with the goal of eventually removing all user accounts from OD.
The problem we've discovered is that we are unable to preserve and protect UIDs of the OD accounts using OD and the Apple Active Directory Plug-In. The result is that MaryX in AD does not have ownership of her files on the XServe because her account does not have the same UID as the MaryX account in OD.
Is there a way to create the account for MaryX in AD and establish her OD UID value there in such a way that the Apple Active Directory Plug-In on her Mac and on the XServe will allow her to access her files?
At this point, the only alternative we've found is impractical. That would require us to identify her new UID as presented by the plug-in and re-chown the entire set of file systems. That's over 30 TB of data. The same procedure would have to be performed for each existing OD account and group. We think this is an unnecessarily nasty solution and are hoping we could do something simple like extend the AD schema for POSIX compliance and get the plug-in to reference UID from there.
Suggestions? Ideas?
Thank you,
Greg Chapman

Hi
I'm guessing your environment could benefit from implementing Cross-Realm Authentication:
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/OpenDirectory_Admin_v10.5_3rdEd.pdf
Page 72. However apart from a brief mention of what it is you won't find much more. You could look at what afp548 has to offer? I found this:
http://www.afp548.com/xrealm/
Which might help? Some time ago I did this with 10.4 Server. It took some doing and worked well. You might want to consider an experienced consultant?

  • Unity Connection Integration with CS 1000 and Meridian 81 - PIMG

    I have a customer who have  (2) Nortel Meridian 81 and (1) CS1000  for their 3 locations along with Octal 350 servicing 2500 voicemail users today. Customer also has a  Cisco UCM in their network today which is servicing their wireless phone users.
    UCM and CS1000 are networked together using Q.Sig trunks today. Customer is looking at replacing their Octal solution with a new Voice mail solution.
    I was looking at integration documents for Unity Connection using PIMG.
    In this  scenario, would I need 3 separate PIMG 's at the three remote sites and integrate it with Unity connection or Can I achieve this using just one PIMG at one of the sites, considering the three sites are trunked together using tie-trunks.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/integration/pimg/guide/cucintpimg090.html#wp1051831
    Appreciate any pointers/ help.

    Hi there,
    Just to add a note to the great tips from Hailey (+5 Hailey!)
    We are in the final stages of replacing our "old" Octel with Unity Connection, part of
    which is integrated to our CS1000 and CUCM in a "Hybrid" deployment like yours
    Centralized Voice Messaging
    Cisco Unity Connection supports centralized voice messaging through the phone system, which supports
    various inter-phone system networking protocols including proprietary protocols such as Avaya DCS,
    Nortel MCDN, or Siemens CorNet, and standards-based protocols such as QSIG or DPNSS. Note that
    centralized voice messaging is a function of the phone system and its inter-phone system networking,
    not voice mail. Connection will support centralized voice messaging as long as the phone system and its
    inter-phone system networking are properly configured.

    Integration with Cisco Unity Connection
    Attachments:
    cucwithnortel.pdf (308.1 K)
    Centralized voice messaging provides voice messaging services to all users in a networked phone system environment. Connection can be hosted on a message center PINX and provide voice messaging services to all users in an enterprise assuming the message center PINX and all user PINX phone systems are properly networked.For a centralized voice messaging configuration to exist, a suitable inter-phone system networking protocol must exist to deliver a minimum level of feature support, such as:•Message waiting indication (MWI).•Transfer, which ensures that the correct calling/called party ID is delivered to the voice messaging system.•Divert, which ensures that the correct calling/called party ID is delivered to the voice messaging system.Other features may be required depending on how the voice messaging system is to be used. For example, if it is also serving as an automated attendant, path-replacement is needed as this feature prevents calls from hair-pinning.

  • Integration between Soluiotn Manager and HP Quality Center

    Hi Folks,
    I am currently configuring the integration between Solution Manager and HP Quality Center, and during the set up of communication user, I get the following error:
    User hpqc_comm is not authorized to access projects
    Message no. QC_INTEGRATION016
    Diagnosis
    You want to access projects in the Quality Center with the communication user hpqc_comm. This causes an error because the user either does not exist in the Quality Center or is not assigned to any project.
    Procedure
    Check whether the user hpqc_comm is in the Quality Center, and whether it is assigned to at least one project. Ask the Quality Center administrator to create the user and assign it to projects, if necessary.
    You can use another user for the communication
    Well, I have created that user in HPQC and assigned it to projects.
    Thanks for your help
    Marco

    the error is in Solution Manager. I am defining the communication parameters in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN / <selected project> / edit / Connection to HP Quality Center. I choose the corresponding project in Quality Center, but when I validate the screen, I get the error I mentioned before, even though the communication user exists in HPQC and is assigned to that specific project.
    Thanks for your reply.

  • Integration between case management and C-folder

    Dear Experts ,
    Can you help regarding integration between Case Managment and C-folder ???
    Kind Regards

    Hi,
    Simple answer: There is no specific integration existing.
    Case Management is using DMS as one option to save documents like Word, Excel.
    The cFolders solution is normally on a separate server and DMS documents can be checked out from the content server to cFolders and vice versa in SAP standard.
    I have experience from both solutions and I really don't see how these two solutions should be linked to each other from a business perspective.

  • Ask the Expert: Single-Site and Multisite FlexPod Infrastructure

    With Haseeb Niazi and Chris O'Brien 
    Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about Single-Site and Multisite FlexPod Infrastructure with experts Haseeb Niazi and Chris O'Brien.
    This is a continuation of the live webcast.
    FlexPod is a predesigned and prevalidated base data center configuration built on Cisco Unified Computing System, Cisco Nexus data center switches, NetApp FAS storage components, and a number of software infrastructure options supporting a range of IT initiatives. FlexPod is the result of deep technology collaboration between Cisco and NetApp, leading to the creation of an integrated, tested, and validated data center platform that has been thoroughly documented in a best practices design guide. In many cases, the availability of Cisco Validated Design guides has reduced the time to deployment of mission-critical applications by 30 percent.
    The FlexPod portfolio includes a number of validated design options that can be deployed in a single site to support both physical and virtual workloads or across metro sites for supporting high availability and disaster avoidance. This session covers various design options available to customers and partners, including the latest MetroCluster FlexPod design to support a VMware Metro Storage Cluster (vMSC) configuration.
    Haseeb Niazi is a technical marketing engineer in the Data Center Group specializing in security and data center technologies. His areas of expertise also include VPN and security, the Cisco Nexus product line, and FlexPod. Prior to joining the Data Center Group, he worked as a technical leader in the Solution Development Unit and as a solutions architect in Advanced Services. Haseeb holds a master of science degree in computer engineering from the University of Southern California. He’s CCIE certified (number 7848) and has 14 years of industry experience.   
    Chris O'Brien is a technical marketing manager with Cisco’s Computing Systems Product Group.  He is currently focused on developing infrastructure best practices and solutions that are designed, tested, and documented to facilitate and improve customer deployments. Previously, O'Brien was an application developer and has worked in the IT industry for more than 20 years.

    I would suggest you read this white paper which details the pros and cons of direct connect storage. 
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/prod/collateral/ps10265/ps10276/whitepaper_c11-702584.html   This paper captures all the major design points for Ethernet and FC  protocols.
    I would only add that in FlexPod we are trying to create a highly  available solution and "flexible" solution; Nexus switching helps us  deliver on both with vPC and unified ports.
    NPV equats  to end-host mode which allows the system to present all of the servers  as N ports to the external fabric.  In this mode, the vHBAs are pinned  to the egress interfaces of the fabric interconnects.  This pinning  removes the potential of loops in the SAN fabric.  Host based multipathing of the  vHBAs account for potential uplink failures.  The NPV mode (end-host  mode) simplifies the attachment of UCS into the SAN fabric and that is  why it is in NPV mode by default.
    So for your last question, I will have to put my  Product Manager hat on so bear with me.   First off there is no drawback  to enabling the NPIV feature (none that I am aware of) the Nexus 5000  platform simply offers you a choice to design and support multiple FC  initiators (N-Ports) per F-Port via NPIV.  This allows for the  integration of the FI end-host mode described above.  I  imagine being a  unfied access layer switch, the Nexus team enabled standard Fibre  Channel switching capability and features first.  The implementatin of  NPIV is a customer choice based on their specific access layer  requirements.

  • What technical components are needed for integration of SAP BI and BO?

    Hello,
    What technical components are needed for integration of SAP BI and BO?

    Hi,
    you need to setup a BOBJ server (eg. BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 or BO Edge 3.1) and then install the BusinessObjects integration Kit for SAP on the same machine your BOBJ server runs.
    In order to build reports you can either use Crystal Reports (eg Install Crystal Report Designer 2008 V1 if you have an XI 3.1 server installed), WebIntelligence (Install the Business Objects XI 3.1 Client Tools in order to be able to build universes), BusinessObjects Voyager or XCelsius. Please note that you have to always install the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP (should be the same version as your server and client installation) on your clients AFTER you installed one or more of the above client tools.
    Please take again a look at the following link for more detailed information (from Ingo) on this:

    there is a possibility to integrate object from the new general ledger into SAP HR.
    In my case it is not enough to integrate those obect in IT0001, far better would be an deep integration in sap orgmanagement (like the cost center in om IT1001)
    Does anyone knows a way to integrate this areas?
    Best regards

    Hi Udo Werner
    Thanks for your answer, now is clear that is not any integration between New Ledger and Matereial ledger, even that, I would like to know, what do you mean when you said u201CThe only integration topics might be how to handle the postings of material ledger within the accounting interfaceu201D?, is any transaction related ?

  • SiteMinder integration with the internal and external facing portals

    Hi ,
    We are in development phase for SiteMinder integration with the internal and external facing portals.The proposed dual authentication scheme which requires both SiteMinder for External facing portal (EFP) and LDAP for Internal portal .is it possible?
    and is it possible to main to diff LDAP directories one is external users and one is for internal users.?
    If you maintain  2 diff(external & internal) LDAP Directories in Siteminder Policy Server  what about  external users which are  not exit in portal data source .
    I appreciate if anyone  can help me for my above query .
    Regards
    Tag

    Hey Tag,
    We do have a physical external Portal and a physical internal portal.  The both the external and internal are connected to 2 LDAP directories.
    For example the External Portal is connected to the Employee LDAP Direcotry and the Customer LDAP Directory.  The Internal Portal is connected to the US Employee LDAP Direcotry and the EMEA LDAP Directory.
    So each one of them is connected to 2 different LDAP Directories.
    I believe that the Siteminder Policy is setup such that the Internal portal has a policy and the External portal has a seperate policy on the same Siteminder Server.  Then each of the Policies is configured to connect to the approiate LDAP Directories.
    You have to maintain the LDAP Directory information in both the portal and Siteminder Policy Server.  It is required in the policy server so that it can authenticate the user and it is required in the Portal server so that it can authorize the user and display content based on thier assigned roles.
    Hope that helps.

    Keith

  • Regd : Integration Between Portal Layer And Process Layer

    Hi Experts,
       I have a query regarding the integration between Portal layer and the process layer in CE. How does the interaction happens or what is the process behind the integration of these two layers. I was going through some help documents at help.sap.com.
    But from there I could not get much of information. So need your inputs on the same.
    Thanks
    Pradipta Kumar Mishra

    Hi Pradipta,
    If you are referring to Guided Procedures as the "Process Layer", then you have one of the three options that I can think of:
    1) Deliver the GP processes via UWL in CE Portal
    2) Deliver the GP processes via UWL in EP (if your organization has one)
    3) Delvier the GP processes via GP Runtime in CE Portal
    Of the three mentioned above, option 2 is preferred since your business users get to access their tasks via a single interface. But you need a EP. If that's not the case, I would suggest Option 1. For integrating GP and UWL, please refer to following link.

    Link, documents and books are welcome!
    Thanks
    mishak

    If you have worked on workflows earlier the procedure is very simple. You just need to enter certain parameter values of your application in SWFVISU for the respective task and re-register your system in UWL administration. Thats it! your webdynpro and workflows are integrated. For details on the parameters check the following link,
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/19/bff5c18ba44da4a4ca68cf572dabda/frameset.htm
    There are also a couple of blogs on "launching webdynpro from UWL" (Procedure for both Java and webdynpro is almost similar). You can also check these for more details.
