Procedure to fully backup a users email & manually deprovision a OCS user

Question

Procedure to BACKP/RESTORE email account (Note you need to create a dir on filesystem to store the backup)
Backup a users email account
Source the midtier env e.g. ORACLE_HOME , ORACLE_SID , PATH
oesbkp task=backup type=all user=<email_address> admindn=cn=orcladmin password=<password>
ldaphost=<hostname> ldapport=3090 backupdir= < path to backup dir >
Restore a users email account
Source the midtier env e.g. ORACLE_HOME , ORACLE_SID , PATH
oesbkp task=restore type=all user=<email_address> admindn=cn=orcladmin password=<password>
ldaphost=<hostname> ldapport=3090 backupdir= < path to backup dir >
Procedure to Manually Deprovision A user in OCS
In this example we will delete the user:
email [email protected]
userid 100009
Step 1 : Delete the user in the GAL
Source the 10g cal env e.g. ORACLE_HOME , ORACLE_SID , PATH
Check for user in GAL
uniuser -ls -n 1 | grep <user_name>
Delete the user from the GAL
uniuser -del "S=<last_name>/G=<first_name>*" -n 1
e.g.
uniuser -ls -n 1 | grep bruce.wayneEnter a password:
+ [email protected]/UID=100009/AUTOREFRESH=1/
uniuser -del "S=wayne/G=bruce*" -n 1Enter a password:
Delete "S=wayne/G=bruce/UID=100009/ID=5566/NODE-ID=1" and its agenda [y/n]: y
uniuser: "S=wayne/G=bruce/UID=100009/ID=5566/NODE-ID=1" has been deleted
Step 2: Delete the user in the OID e.g. ORACLE_HOME , ORACLE_SID , PATH
Source the midtier env
Check for user in OID (Note ensure you have the correct port in this example we user 3060)
ldapsearch -h <hostname> -p 3060 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w <password> -s sub \
-b "cn=Users,dc=...................." -v "cn=<userid>"
Delete the user in OID
Create a file called "user.ldif" of the format
echo "cn=<userid>, cn=Users, dc=....................">user.ldif
Execute the ldapdelete utility
ldapdelete -h <hostname> -p 3060 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w <password> -v -f user.ldif
deleting entry cn=<userid>, cn=Users, dc=............................................
delete completed
Step 3: Delete user from the mail store
Source the midtier env e.g. ORACLE_HOME , ORACLE_SID , PATH
Check for user in that database
echo "select username from es_user where USERNAME like '%<username>%';" > user.sql
sqlplus "es_mail/password"@<user.sql
Create "mailstore_user.txt" of the format
echo "mail=<email_address>">mailstore_user.txt
Clean the mail store
oesucr mailstore_user.txt -d -v
oesucr mailstore_user.txt -clean_user_mailstore_data

Hi Guys,
Interesting question. I've me wondering how I can do something similar. But not so much for the email(coz we are not using Oracle Mail), but for the security setup of a user in OCS. eg. a user is granted access to many folders or objects, we want an easy way to deprovision everything. (if backing up is possible before the deprovisioning, even better - just in case a wrong delete was performed, it is recoverable).
The other thing I'm interested is whether a branch in OCS can be backed-up and recovered easily (together with all it's meta-data and attributes) ?
