Single directory Server for Messaging and Portal

We are trying to unify our directory services.
At present, there two directory servers, one for iPlanet messaging 5.2 and another for Portal server 6.0.
Messaging's Directory server is v5.1 and Portal's Directory server is v5.2. Their BaseDN is same.
Now, What we are planning to do is as below.
1. LDIF everything from Msgr Directory and import into Portal's Directory.
2. Point Msg Server to the Portal's directory.
But, we are not sure what to export or how to tell messaging server to look at the Portal's Directory. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks

What you are trying to do is non-trivial.
Setting the ldap server for user and groups on the mail server is easy enough -- look at the output of configutil and you will find the values of local.ugldap*
define the values you need to change.
e.g.:
local.ugldapbasedn
local.ugldapbindcred
local.ugldapbinddn
local.ugldaphost
local.ugldapport
etc.
These are all listed in the messaging reference manual.
You need to ensure that the schemas of the two apps. match. For example, if you are using schema 1 for mail and schema 2 for the portal (quite likely), there will be a lot more work to do on the directory than simply moving the user entries accross and merging them.
Unless you have done this sort of thing before, or feel very comfortable and knowlegable about how the messaging server in partuicular works with LDAP, I would suggest that you seriously consider getting help from Sun Professonal Services.

  • Using a single Content server for DMS and also for Archive link documents

    Hi,
    We have Planned for a single content server for managing the documents in DMS, parallelly as DMS Standard SAP objects are not available for all SAP transactions, i have proposed for making use of SAP Archivelink funtionality to maintain the documentations where Std SAP DMS does not provide a Solution.
    so here the question is
    can a single content server be used as a content repository for Both DMS and archivelink,
    can any one having done this pls state if it is possible to create different or Many Content repositories for DMS, Archive link in the same server,
    is this a virtual creation or can we assign each repository a specific storage space which it should not exceed.
    Thanks and regards
    Sathish

    Hi sathish,
    -- Through the ArchiveLink docuemnt Management interface, an SAP sytem can use various content servers as storage media. similarly, one contnent server can be used by multiple SAP systems.
    -- A Content server always has a single database assigned to it. A database can therefore be used by only one content server.
    -- A databse is split into as many repositories as necessary. The design of the repository is mapped in the SAP system.A repository contains documents.
    Depending on your requirements,(if u have limited documents or with low requirements)  you can use the same content server for both DMS and Archivelink.
    The number of documents stored on the content server is limited only by the size of the database.
    Its better to have an external content server for archiving purpose, if your database size is increasing. Since the archiving systems storage is not dependent on the database.
    U can also refer to the below thread :
    How to Archive SAP DMS Data?
    hope this helps....

  • Change Directory server for Portal Server 6.2

    Hi there,
    I have the following problem with Portal Server 6.2 configuration which hopefully someone here will be able to help me with.
    Basically our current setup is the Sun Portal Server 6.2, ID server 6.1 and Directory server all sitting on one (Solaris 9) box. We now wish to separate the Portal / ID server components and the Directory Server component to separate boxes. In portal server 6.0 i think there was a pssetup tool which allowed configuration of a directory server which populated it with the necessary data for portal and ID server. The directory server we will be installing to will not necessarily be a clean install, i.e. it may already be populated with data.
    Is there some way therefore to re-configure the existing directory server to allow us to point our portal / ID server at it?
    Thanks in advance for any help
    Laurence.

    This can be done. You need to import the portal/identity server's schema into your new directory server and then export your existing directory server's content and import it into the new one.

  • Mac OS X attempts to poll server for PortMixerProvider and DirectAudioDevic

    When running my applet on Mac OS X using Safari and Firefox, for the most part,
    sound seems to work, but sometimes our game screen hiccups while the
    applet tries to search our server for PortMixerProvider and
    DirectAudioDeviceProvider [See Java Console output at the bottom of
    this message]
    It seems that the applet is searching in the server location of the
    JAR for the Providers, which usually indicate that they don't exist,
    but then I don't understand why I sometimes hear sound without
    incident.
    As this is happening during game play, I need to find a solution to either stop these requests to the server or at least delay them until the end of the game session.

    I have more background on this problem, but no solution. I see this happening everytime I try to record audio using my applet running under Firefox 3 (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061004 Firefox/3.0) and OS X 10.5.3.
    The program runs perfectly using the AppletViewer.
    I created a JAR file, sunaudio.jar, containing the com.sun.media.audio classes and the JavaSound SPI meta-files, put it in the same directory as my applet's JAR and changed my Web page to look like
    <applet ... archive="myapplet.jar,sunaudio.jar">
    </applet>
    ... and though I could see the browser request and receive the sunaudio.jar file from the server, it nevertheless requested com/sun/media/sound/DirectAudioDeviceProvider.class immediately thereafter.
    Have you submitted a bug to Apple? If not, I will.

  • Active Directory - Server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 (Server Formatting or not productive

    Hello guys, I come here to try to clarify a great doubts regarding Server Operating Systems, I will attempt to detail the most of my scenario.
    Suppose I have a Server 2008 R2 in production, and this is my Active Directory server (meudominio.local) and am managing through Group Policy settings my workstations that are around 60-70 computers, guys my doubts the thing is, if I need some time to format
    and perform a fresh installation of my server as it will be my Active Directory? Of course I will have lost my domain controller and I have to accomplish the placement of each workstation again that enters my domain one by one.
    I know there is the option of AD replication, so we call the Active Directory, even for another version of the Operating System, prátia already realized this, but it most often comes not functioning properly, done without replication problems Server 2003 to
    2008 R2.
    Guys like to know a solution to not having to put my plants in my domain network again one by one, is there any way to backup so that when I reinstalled the system and the AD again in my server stations return to "see" again that server as your domain
    controller, even me installing AD with the same domain name before this formatting stations do not respond to this driver in this case do the Network ID or add the station to the area again, so she creates a new user profile for example (Max.meudominio) while
    your old profile "guy" still remains on the machine, I adopted the practice of editing the record of this newly created profile and pointing him well for the old user folder which contains all data and settings, eg edit my key "ProfileImagePath"
    regedit logged in with the newly created profile (Max.meudominio) ->
    (switch "ProfileImagePath" C:\Users\Max.meudominio) thus pointing to the folder before replacing in the field again this season after formatted server, thus ->
    (Switch "ProfileImagePath" C:\Users\Max), detail that we give permission for all such user "C:\Users\Max" folder, after that restart the computer and he comes back with the user profile and all your settings.
    I wonder if there is another method to perform this procedure, do not know even a backup AD to not have to replace all the seasons again "meudominio.local".
    Thank you for your attention!

    As the practice of replication I know her mostly said she has some flaws when I do the replication of my domain to another server but it works correctly, so having a server "master" and the other ServidorBKP as "slave", in redundancy,
    the problem is when I say, and put the "ServidorBKP" being my primary domain controller and disabling my main controller, to disable or turn off my main controller the stations themselves are unable to login because it does not communicate with the
    my ServidorBKP "slave" even I put it as the main driver of course.
    Regarding the System State as far as I know this option existed in Server 2003.
    I also got some information, confer on the links below.

  • The DHCP service failed to see a directory server for authorization.

    We have two DHCP servers hosted on Hyper-V.
    But after shutdown activity at our DC, the servers gave an usual issue.
    "The DHCP service failed to see a directory server for authorization."
    We have rebooted number of time before getting this server into production but it never gave such kind of error.
    Also this time the local DC was shutdown.
    Please suggest the necessary steps to be taken.

    Hi,
    The authorized DHCP server contacts a domain controller every 60 min to detect/redetect his status. Maybe your DHCP has tried to reach the DC which was offline thus throwing that error. Are you still having issues with DHCP server servicing clients?
    Once the server talks to a DC and checks that his authorized the service will start leasing IPs to clients.

    Hi Experts,
    "The DHCP Service failed to see a directory server for authorization error"
    I have DHCP Server installed on the same server where Active directory is installed its a domain controller, when I see the event logs I saw the above error. 
    This alert comes a number of times, just after the error
    "The DHCP/BINL service on the local machine, belonging to the Windows Administrative domain eg.com.pk, has determined that it is authorized to start. It is servicing clients now."
    Please somebody suggest some solution for this.

    Two questios:
    Is the server a domain controller?
    And, according to this, "The DHCP/BINL service on the local machine, belonging to the Windows Administrative domain eg.com.pk, has determined that it is authorized to start. It is servicing clients now", the service eventually do start, yes?

  • Directory Server 5.1 and CMS 4.2 SP2

    There's a similar question on 16 January that didn't get answered.
    I realise I can configure CMS to publish certificates to an "external" DS 5.1 LDAP directory. However, I'd like to know whether there is a realistic method to make CMS use DS 5.1 for it's internal database (port 38900). I don't want to build a complex mixed-version environment unless there will be no alternative for (say) the next 6-9 months.
    I have a production user directory that is being upgraded from DS 4.12 to 5.1. Our CMS system is also in production, and was upgraded to 4.2 SP2 about 6 months ago.
    Does anyone have any experiences in this area that can help me decide on an optimal way forward?

    I recommened that you read the Release Notes of DS5.2, there are some notes on Replication between 5.1 and 5.2.
    ===
    In Directory Server 5.2, the schema file 11rfc2307.ldif has been altered to conform to rfc2307. If replication is enabled between 5.2 servers and 5.1 servers, the rfc2307 schema MUST be corrected on the 5.1 servers, or replication will not work correctly.
    Workaround
    To ensure correct replication between Directory Server 5.2 and Directory Server 5.1, perform the following tasks:
    * For zip installations, remove the 10rfc2307.ldif file from the 5.1 schema directory and copy the 5.2 11rfc2307.ldif file to the 5.1 schema directory. (5.1 Directory Server Solaris packages already include this change.)
    * Copy the following files from the 5.2 schema directory into the 5.1 schema directory, overwriting the 5.1 copies of these files:
    11rfc2307.ldif, 50ns-msg.ldif, 30ns-common.ldif, 50ns-directory.ldif, 50ns-mail.ldif, 50ns-mlm.ldif, 50ns-admin.ldif, 50ns-certificate.ldif, 50ns-netshare.ldif, 50ns-legacy.ldif, and 20subscriber.ldif.
    * Restart the Directory Server 5.1 server.
    * In the Directory Server 5.2 server, set the nsslapd-schema-repl-useronly attribute under cn=config to on.
    * Configure replication on both servers.
    * Initialize the replicas.
    ===
    Also search for "migrate" or "repl" or "5.1" in Release Notes and read the relevant information.

    I have been in and out of Powershell last few years, not that great at it tbh !!! I'm looking for advice on how I can as in Title, Create a Powershell script to Scan Active Directory Attributes for Country and Department ,Then add to Group then add to Distribution
    list based on Region/Country
    I was thinking along the lines of get-aduser -LDAPFilter "(department=SALES France) and adding a where clause for country.
    Any help would be great.

    So I have tried a few variations but get errors on both 
    get-aduser -LDAPFilter "(&(department=SALES)(c=us))" | Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -MemberOf "testgroup"
    get-aduser -LDAPFilter "(&(department=SALES)(c=fr))" | Add-ADGroupMember -identity "testgroup"
    Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership : Object reference not set to an instance of an
    object.
