Issue w/ Case Differences Using the IBM Directory Server MA

We have the following issue using the IBM Directory Server MA using FIM 2010 R2 (Version 4.1.3479.0).
We provision a new object, e.g., uid=jdoe,ou=users,o=contoso, into an instance of IBM Directory Server
The object is created in IBM Directory Server as uid=jdoe,ou=users,o=contoso
A Full Import on the IBM Directory Server MA runs and confirms the export
Subsequent imports, sync, and exports run successfully
<Time passes>
A Full Import on the IBM Directory Server MA runs, and this object shows up as a staging-error (uid=jdoe,ou=Users,o=contoso)
Subsequent imports and syncs report errors on this object (staging-error)
Note that we do not manipulate the anchor (DN) of this object once it is created in IBM Directory Server. Other attributes are synchronized, but the object is never renamed/moved. This case change does not happen with all of the objects brought
in during the Full Import, but the number of instances do increase periodically. At this point, it does look like the import is changing from a lowercase "u" to an uppercase "U" but not vice versa.
I found a related
TechNet article containing the following remark:
"IBM Directory Server does not guarantee that the case of a DN component will match in all instances. On a synchronization or import from IBM Directory Server, this can manifest itself as an unexpected update. For example, if you create
O=TEST, and then create the user cn=MikeDan,O=TEST, this might be imported from IBM Directory Server as
cn=MikeDan,O=test. Because of the case difference, FIM treats this as an update on subsequent full imports."
Unfortunately, the article does not propose a resolution.
Has anyone encountered this issue? More importantly has anyone resolved this or found an acceptable workaround?
Note that deleting the connector space is not an acceptable workaround. :)

I remember experiencing this issue when we were on 5.0, and I believe it persists through 5.1 as well.
There is a comment in the 5.2 release notes that something similar was fixed:
Changing case sensitive attribute values failed in MMR. (4624693)
If I had to take a wild guess, I would say that the server does some internal checking to see if the value has changed, possibly based on the attribute syntax, to avoid replicating "changes" that really don't change anything except case. I doubt that all your custom attributes are case-sensitive, though. Enabling replication probably "turns on" this behavior, which doesn't go away even if replication is disabled.
In any case, you're probably out of luck unless/until you upgrade to 5.2.

  • JNDI Tutorial Sun and IBM Directory server v5.1

    Hi there guys,
    I'm new with JNDI and LDAP but I trying to get the tutorial started with the IBM Directory server v5.1 but with no luck. The tutorial mentions something about root naming contexts. As far as I can find in the docs of the IBM directory server there are no root naming contexts. Am I right? Further when I added the several DN's under the suffixes and I try to restart the server, the server won't start anymore. What I did was adding the following lines as suffixes:
    o=JNDITutorial
    ou=Groups, o=JNDITutorial
    cn=Directory Administrators, ou=Groups, o=JNDITutorial
    etc..
    Is there someone who had the same problems?
    Or are there any suggestions for using another (free) LDAP server?
    Hope someone can help.

    in suffixes you can only add 'o's ..not ous, cns etc.
    For that run a ldif for that o, as an admin to add a tree.
    hope this helps.

  • HT1338 My MacBook Pro (running Leopard 10.5.8) won't allow keyboard to type an upper case 'C' using the shift key...works fine with caps lock, or, with my Typinator workaround using double-typed lower case c (not always best). Any ideas?

    My MacBook Pro keyboard won't type an upper case 'C' using the shift key... only with caps lock. Workaround has been to use Typinator by typing a double lower case c, not always the best solution. Mac is a refurbished model, which initially was fine. Apple tech helped me correct the quirk when it first appeared, but now it has returned and refuses fixes. Any ideas?

    I'm willing to bet that this has something to do with iCloud.  I've been facing a frozen computer nearly every time I go into it. 
    In Activity Monitor I have seen two programs associate with iCloud that take up about 2.5 GB of memory (I only have 4 in the computer) -- causing everything to freeze.  One of these is called "iCloud Helper" and the other one is something like "Address Book Sync helper" -- I see parts of these names in the stuff you have posted.
    I am at my wits' end with these and have written to Apple asking them to do away with these or fix them.  To get rid of the Address book sync thing I have gone into system preferences for iCloud and unchecked Contacts -- but then spontaneously it gets rechecked.  And oftentimes after I Force Quit the iCloud helper, it spontaneously turns on again.  My conclusion --- the iCloud is basically unusable.  It turns a Mac into the most useless, clogged, sluggish PC.  If this is happening to a lot of people's computers -- and I see no reason why yours or mine should be an exception -- these programs just might destroy Apple itself. 
    So -- I'm about to completely give up on iCloud, and I suspect that others will too unless this gets fixed.

  • Newbie: IBM Directory Server LDAP Java Implementation

    Good day friends,
    I'm new in developing LDAP applications. I'm using IBM Directory Server v4.1 & need to develop a application (a web application - JSP/Servlet/EJB). I'm doing this as part of a Web project where i need to store the User Info of the registering user to LDAP server with proper Organisational Hierarchy & Privileges. I'm using Java for this application. I have the proper JNDI environment set for LDAP interaction. Can anyone provide me with a best practice/right procedure for implementing this, like searching for an entry, inserting/updating an entry & how to make use of Attributes provided in IBM DS 4.1.
    I searched IBM redbook & others for this but without any success. All Prog references are pertaining to C & very minimal info for Java implementation. I found some info in other LDAP like Netscape & Novell, but there structuring is different from IBM DS. I would appreciate if anyone can throw some light on this regard. I would appreciate a complete Java Programmers Reference Guide for IBM Directory Server v4.1.
    Thanking u in anticipation.
    cheers,
    J2EEDev.

    I'm coping with the same question as you had.
    Did you get any valuable information or a Java programmers reference guide for IBM directory server ?
    If so, could you send me an url where I can obtain the required information ?
    Thanks for your reply !

  • How to use the same OC4j server with different port number

    How to use the same OC4j server with different port numbers..?
    I have to OC4J installed on my machine on different hard disk drives....
    I want to be able to run both the server simultaneously..?
    is it possible ..it yes then how..?
    for that i have changed the port number of one server...
    but when i am trying to start the other server with different port number..it says that JVM -Bind already...
    Is there any clues...?
    Nilesh G

    In the config directory:
    default-web-site.xml: Change the port the HTTP listener listens on
    jms.xml: Change the port the JMS service listens on
    rmi.xml: Change the port the ORMI listener listens on.
    Or, you can add another web-site.xml file, and deploy your applications to 1 server, and bind the web applications to the different web sites. This way you only have to deploy your applications to 1 place.

  • Using the Embedded Web Server To Connect A Wireless Printer To Your Network

    AKA:No Wireless Setup Wizard Button, which would be way easier.
    The Prelude
    Some entry level printers do not offer a 'Wireless Setup Wizard' button, or a menu option that is accessible from the front of the printer. Printers that do not offer this luxury option, can still be easily configured to communicate to your router if you have a Mac or Windows PC.
    You still may have an easy option to get your network settings configured in your printer, if your router supports WPS. I personally do not like to use WPS as it can bring its own frustrations. WPS is not within the scope of this document.
    This document is geared towards the last available option, and in my opinion the best option. It can however be the most involved option. I am referring to using the Embedded Web Server (EWS). Most modern network capable HP Printers have a setting page that can be accessed from a web browser. The process is rather simple, but many confusing hiccups can occur, and that is what I hope to prepare you for.  There will be variances for different printers. I am using my experience with consumer printers that have been around the last few years.
    First, do not get overexcited about this document: Accessing the HP Embedded Web Server. Don't get me wrong, it is a great document, it's just that the instructions, while accurate, will not work until your printer is configured to connect to your network first. We will revisit this later however.
    Seatbelts Please
    The first thing we need to do, is have the printer broadcast its own network, sometimes referred to as AdHoc, sometimes referred to as Auto Wireless Connect. To do this, you need to navigate the menu system of the printer, and find the option to reset the network settings, network defaults or something similar. If your printer has the Wireless Direct feature you won't need to reset the network settings, but this is a perfect time to make sure Wireless Direct is turned on. If you aren't using Wireless Direct, the timer starts. Generally speaking, for the next two hours, the printer will broadcast an 'HP Setup' network, or have some variation of the printers name listed in available wireless networks. Regardless you should have plenty of time, if you read it all first and then went throught the steps.
    *Preparation:
    Here is where you want to use your favorite device, one capable of seeing 2.4ghz networks. Android phone, Apple iPad, Chromebook, Windows or Mac Notebook that you decided not to install the printer software on. Any of these devices will work. Apple iOS devices required a bit of coddling, as Safari doesn't work well with the EWS Wireless Setup Wizard.
    Do you know your network SSID? What about the passphrase, passkey or whatever the security word is called?
    If you didn't set it up, and just started using it when the internet guy installed it, then there is probably a sticker on the router with that information. If you still can't find it, call your ISP, router manufacturer or favorite family member for help to find that information (If you use a family member, remember to buy them something nice on the next gift giving holiday in your region).
    *Apple iOS specific, device preparation:
    1. You will save yourself a lot of frustration by downloading the Chrome Browser for iOS now. Go ahead, I will wait...
    If you are installing Chrome for the first time, when it completes the install, open it, and get passed the greeting and tutorial before continuing.
    2. You need to forget your home network connection when you are done with step 1. Just hold down on your home network in the wireless networks list, and 'Forget' the connection (or find the arrow that leads to the same option). If you do not take this step, it will reconnect to the home network once you run the Wireless Setup Wizard, causing you to have to back track.
    3. Be aware, when you connect to your printer's network, that it may appear to not connect (ie. spinning wheel, no confirmation) to the printer. This is a known behavior. Just close the wireless settings, and proceed as normal.
    Begin The Journey
    Open up the wireless section of your device and look in the list of available networks and tell it to connect to the HP printer network. The SSID will usually start with HP, and may have the printer model or the word SETUP in the name. Once you are connected (see "Apple iOS specific, device preparation #3 if you are using iOS), it is time to open your browser, preferably the Chrome browser when at all possible. In the address bar type 192.168.223.1 and press go or hit enter. I use the colloquialism 'hit' when I just mean 'press' again, sorry for the redudancy.
    If all is well, you should see a web page that should refer to your printer. Now is the time to find the 'Wireless Setup Wizard' button. Most printers should have it here on the main page of the EWS. Just take your time, it may not be obvious at first. Once you press it, the setup process will begin. Follow the instructions. It should see a list of detected wireless networks, and you can select your home network. Then if it requires a password, it will prompt for you to enter it. At the end of the Wizard, it might say something about not being able to test it, or show a page cannot be displayed screen. This is OK. This means the printer is now talking to your router and not your device in your hand.
    Proof Of Concept
    You can now tell your device to scan and connect back to your normal home network. Once you connect, you can verify if you can see your printer. Keep in mind, with dual band routers, that the printers will typically only be visible on the 2.4GHZ network, so your device should also connect to that network as well for testing. Once connected, now we need to find out what IP Address the printer has. Remember the document I started with “Accessing the HP Embedded Web Server”. It now is relevant, and you can complete those instructions to make sure you can see your printer on the same network. If your device can enter the printers EWS with its new IP, then you have officially connected your printer to your network. Also your printers wireless light should be solid, indicating communication.
    If It Worked
    Now the fun begins. If you are setting up ePrint, and if there is no option to configure ePrint from the front panel, find the Web Services tab, and proceed with that process. If you are setting it up to a Chomebook, you still need to setup ePrint (if it is an ePrinter) before configuring Cloudprint... but that's another document.
    I hope I have not missed any small detail that pertains to your configuration that made this hard to follow. Any comments would be welcomed to improve this for future use.

    That printer also has a USB port why don't you connect it using that port?
    If you insist on using ethernet, Mac OS X can create two network connections at the same time. On the iMac you can configure one of the network connections to be wireless and the other to be wired using the ethernet port.
    Since you already have a wireless network configured and connecting to your AirPort Extreme for Internet access all you need to do is plug in an ethernet cable from your iMac directly to your printer and configure them to use self-assigned IP addresses. Self-assigned IP addresses take the form of 169.xxx.xxx.xxx and are used in this configuration to avoid any conflicts with your other network. You have to configure the iMac and the printer to each have a unique IP address in the self-assigned range, just make each of the last group of numbers in the IP address different, and then the iMac should be able to print to the printer.
    Note that when you configure the Imac and printer this way no other network devices will be able to print

    we are using the G Web Server with LabVIEW on a WinNT 4 machine. Up to now these works fine. Therefore I would recommend you to choose a more stable OS.
    Maybe you can try to programmatically restart the server every 2 days. Within LabVIEW you would do this by running "HTTP Server Control.vi". Unfortunatly all connections will be closed, thus be aware of that!

    I Am not using gmail I use seperate company for my mails both use the same smtp server. The problem is when I set my first account it them uses these details and passwords when I create the second account saying that the smtp server is already in use by the primary account.

  • ACROBAT 8 - HOW TO CONNECT AND USE THE LiveCycle Policy Server?

    Hello everybody!!! I've just bought the ACROBAT 8.0, and I'm trying to use the LiveCycle Policy Server. The point is, I couldn't connect to the server.... is there any especific way to do it? It is the same configuration to connect to a normal web site server, right?
    I need to control a copyrighted PDF over the web restricting the massive copy
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH

    No it's not exactly like connecting to a normal web server. The connection must be made via https, not http. So the app server has to be configured for SSL. Also the connection will not be made in Acrobat if there are ANY warnings about the SSL cert. So if you can't go to https://serverName:serverPort in IE and get there with no warnings then you won't be able to connect via Policy Server. Also, you can't connect to Policy Server via Acrobat using a Policy Server admin user. It must be a user who doesn't have admin privileges.

    The only thing you're missing is that you can't do that.  You have to use the correct smtp server for the mail accounts.  Email providers generally don't like sending some other company's mail.    If you want to send from the icloud servers, use your icloud account when composing.
