SunOne Directory server on AIX 5.3

Hello members,
I have a question for the technical team. I am tasked to install SunOne
directory server on AIX 5.3.
We have already installed SunOne on AIX 5.2 and it is proven that it works fine in our live environement however it is not yet tested on AIX 5.3.
I would like to know if SunOne 5.2 is supported by AIX 5.3 and if I should be aware any potential problems during installation.
Thanks,
G.S.

Has anybody ever delt with such an error?

Change the User ID running the SunOne Directory Server 6.3 on Windows 2003

Hi Experts,
I have an install of SunOne Directory Server Enterprise edition 6.3 running on Windows 2003 server. It was installed using the Zip distribution and is running as a user ID in the Active Directory the server is part of. We are trying to change the user ID to a service account (not the current ID which belongs to a person), so that the Sun DS can run as a service within Windows 2003 server. Need help in doing this without having to re-install the Directory server. Has anyone done this and is it possible to do?

Thank you very much for the insights and the responses sharmy28.
Appreciate it very much.
All I had to do was change the setting in this file only:
Open the file dsee6/cacao_2/etc/cacao/instances/default/private/cacao.properties and change the below line with new id...
# Define username and groupname for cacao process
process.username=sunadmin
process.groupname=sungroup
As this is Windows 2003 and the installs are all default values, I had to reboot the server for the change to take effect.
The file dsee6/cacao_2/usr/lib/cacao/lib/tools/scripts/globals.cfg does not exist. However the same file exists under the perl directory as globals.pl and the settings you specified are present there. In our case these were commented out and so I left them as is.
Thanks once again for your responses which helped me solve the issue we had.
Thanks.

How to create users with i18n characters in SunONE directory server?

Was trying to create users and groups with i18n characters in SunONE directory server
1. Started LDAP console using -l option
2. Chaged the Locale to Japanese
3. Entered few japanese character as username (meaning internationalization user name)
4. However, I could not able to type the password using the "soft keyboard" that comes with Japanese Locale
5. to overcome with #4, for now, I typed english chars as the password
6. Click OK to save the above username/pwd
7. It says "netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (19); value of attribute "uid" contains extended (8-bit) characters"
Has anyone ever created i18n user names in SunONE Directory Provider? Please help...

Hi LostLad,
Soryy for my ignorance...Could you please be elaborate on how to remove "uid attribute from 7-bit ASCII plugin?
Thanks in advance..

JAAS LoginModule for SunOne Directory Server?

I have a customer who is using SunOne Directory Server for LDAP.
I have test code that uses the JAAS's com.sun.security.auth.module.JndiLoginModule to do authentication against an OpenLDAP test server.
The test code won't work at the customer site because they need to use a special userid/pw along with the subject userid/pw in order to do an authentication. I assume this is LDAP v3 stuff, but the customer is unsure. Unfortunately I have no direct access to the customer's LDAP admin folk. Typical bureaucracy stuff.
The customer was able to write java code that authenticates to his LDAP server using example code from http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/ldap/security/ldap.html which uses the JNDI API and specifies the access userid/pw using Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL and Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS.
So thats great, however my application uses JAAS, and therfore only indirectly uses JNDI. The JndiLoginModule provided by JAAS does not appear to support the Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL and Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS parameters.
A custom JAAS LoginModule could be written which interfaces to the JNDI LDAP stuff, however considering that JAAS and the SunOne Directory server are both Sun products, I thought perhaps SunOne Directory comes with a JAAS compatible LoginModule that my customer does not know about? I've looked at online docs, but haven't found any such thing yet.

Hey dav,
Sorry that I am not posting to give you a solution - it is more to ask for some guidance.
I am implementing a client-server arch system which has a lot of 'privileged' actions to be managed. I have thus succesfully integrated the basics of JAAS in to the system... but I am now desparately looking for away to have client-side policies distributed at runtime from the server.
I do not want to get involved with any web/application server stuff more than I need to; unfortunately one of the system requirements is for client-server comms to be facilitated by SOAP over HTTP, and thus probably JAX-RPC - but it is no problem. I have a developed a database backed Policy and (JAAS) Config which constitute parts of the server component. Now it is just a case of getting the policy to the client at client start-up and subsequently the configuration forJAAS authentication. The aim is that this data will be transfered once during login, and anytime that the the policy is requested to be refreshed.
Since reading you post, I'm wondering what services LDAP or JNDI can offer me?
Also, is JNDI an appropriate option for data persistence? is it better to go with JDO or some other object store abstraction.
Kind regards,
Darren B

Sun Directory Serve and AIX

I want to Integrate AIX an HPUX in an SUN Ldap Enviroment.
I ve got a SUN LDAP Directory Server 5.2 P4 on Windows2003 Enterprise Server.
My Question: How can I get the Schema LDIF files with the attributes an objektclasses in a LDIF Format to
include it to my LDAP Server. So that i can Integrate Users an logon to my AIX with authenticating by the Sun LDAP Server.
I need only the Schema files with Objectcalsses an Attributes!!!!!

On your integration profile, did you set the debug level to 63? You should have a _____.aud and a _____.trc file in your $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/odi/log directory that will provide more info. Did you start your DIP server (odisrv) with the oidctl command?
You might also look at downloading the "diptester" utility for troubleshooting OID synchronization issues.

It is not possible to obtain the Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2 BETA Software. There are various reasons, one is the BETA program has been closed for sometime now. The RR of the Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2 should be available at the end of May.

SunONE Directory server fails to install on RHEL 3 U6

Hello
we are trying to deploy a Sun Directory server 5.2 on a machine that runs RHEL3 Update 6. It comes back with the following error message:
ERROR : Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 6) is not recognized by idsktune as a supported platform for Sun Java System Directory Server or Directory Proxy Server. Ensure you are running the version of idsktune provided with your product, or you can run idsktune in client mode (-c) if server support is not required
I know that the product is compatible with RHEL 3 U4, but we are unable to deploy this version of RHEL because of the new hardware of the server.
Please could anyone advise on how to resolve the problem. Thank you.

Hi,
idsktune should not prevent you from installing the product.
Which version of Directory Server are you trying to install ? What command are you executing ?

Ludovic

How failover works with SunONE Directory Server?

Assume that I setup 2 masters using the multimaster scheme.
When 1 master fails/down, how do the client knows or get routed to the other master?

For full redundancy:
At the application level:
-redundant storage (raid, san,nas)
-multiple connectors to this storage (fiber,ethernet...)
-multiple LDAP servers (multimaster, replica's)
-multiple LDAP proxy servers
-redundant switches/routers (vrrp, ...)
-loadbalanced by redundant interconnected loadbalancers (level7)
All this helps in non persistant connections, if application are using connection pooling (for performance reasons), you have to verify the behaviour. Some applications only create this pool at start, but if the pool connections brake, it should reconnect.

Differences between SunONE, iPlanet and Netscape Directory Server

What are the differences between SunONE, iPlanet and Netscape Directory Server?
When I go to docs.sun.com - Products Categories, I saw that they've documentation regarding with SunONE, iPlanet, Netscape Directory Server listed under Directory Server.
I know that they're all different directory server, but is it one newer than other? If I'm not wrong, I assumed that Netscape transformed into iPlanet, and then from iPlanet, it transformed to SunONE. If that is the case, is that mean that all of it's console and how it works should be very similar?
Thanks!

That is exactly what I thought.
so when people refer SunONE Directory Server 5.1, then that's mean iPlanet Directory Server 5.1, right?
Because I'm looking at Solaris 9's specification and it mentioned that it bundled with SunONE Directory Server 5.1.
Thanks for answering my question! :)

Activity on my DIRECTORY Server

Hello
I use SUNONE Directory server for authentication with COGNOS product.
I would like to know the activity on my Directory server especially who accessing to the server (ip ? host ? name ? application ? ....
On the admin console, in log item, we have actived 3 files "access", "audit" "error" but information is very simple
Are there any way to log detailed information ?
Are there any log level ?
Thanks in advance.

Detailed information can be obtained in access log. You can configure some properties regarding access log in DSCC or dsconf.
There you'll see the IP addresses of the clients. You also might take a look on the logconv tool included in the product.
Given the fact that you're using a product that uses LDAP, I infer that your main client would be your product and the final actual clients would connect to the product itself, not directly to ldap, therefore you'll see in the logs only activity of the cognos app.

Installation of Sun Directory Server on Home PC - Domain name problem

Hi!
I would like to install SunONE directory server on my home PC but, I am unable to do so because one of the installation steps requires the fully qualified machine name. This is of format <hostname>.<domainname>. My home PC doesnot belong to any domain. Is there any solution to this problem? Is there a default domain name that I can use?
Thanks in advance!
