PasswordSync Configuration - JMS Properties Settings

Question

Hi,
I am basically trying to install and configure the password Sync process on a Windows 2000 Domain controller to interact with Sun IdM 6.0.
I had installed the .NET 1.1 framework required for a Windows 2000 Domain Controller and PasswdSync. Now when I am trying to configure the PasswordSync, I am not sure what values should be entered against the "java.naming.factory.initial" and "java.naming.provider.url" properties under the JMS Properties tab of the PasswordSync configuration wizard. Also, I would appreciate if any one of you could throw some light on JMS Settings as well. I have set-up the JMS server and created a connection factory required before trying to configure.
Thanks,
Indie.

Hi,
I put tcpmon proxy between windows pwsync and IDM to determine if the password update
was being sent and got the following:

==============from which I saw that java.naming.provider.url specifies a windows path and not a unix path, and since
IDM is installed in UNIX (the servlet which is invoked by pwsync) this is what was failing, I changed it to the actual unix path where the .bindings file
is and it worked.
I can�t recall what I read in the documentation but it is not clear the value that this parameter must have,
it specifies what the parameter is but when using both unix and windows environments it gets confusing, at least for me,
but anyway, it works now.
