Upgrading iplanet 4.1 directory server to 5.0

Dear all
Problem goes like this:
We have netscape messaging server 4.1 ,directory server 4.1 running on NT box
we want to upgrade our mail server to 5.1 and directory server to 5.0 .
how can i get a pack of mail server 5.1 with directory server 5.0.
we are thinking to shift the system to Solaris also.
i tried first loading directory server 5.1 on solaris and then loading messaging server on the same system but using the existing directory server option . then migrating the users from old directory server to 5.1 .
when we are loading the 5.1 on solaris it's straight forward and it's getting loaded but when installing messaging server on the same system we got a problem saying that serious problem occured while installing admin server ....
and coming out.

Hi Phil,
To ensure its not permissions I'd grant the EUL Owner
the "Select Any Table" database priv and then try
again.
If it still fails I would then perform a database
trace of the session to get more details.
Finally, if that fails I would create a new 3.1 EUL
and export/import all of your business areas into
that EUL and perform the upgrade to 4.
Thanks,
JeffHi Jeff,
I'll try your suggestions.
I also did a Business Area refresh which fixed a few definitions that no longer existed but when I ran the upgrade again I got the same error.
Thanks.
Phil.

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! :)

IPlanet/Sun ONE Directory Server 5.1 configuration help needed.

Hi from Finland.
We have a SunFire 420 running Solaris 8.
It has 2 network adaptors each configured to have separate IP addresses. Eventually these cards will be on quite separate networks... one for intranet users and one for the rest.
What I am wanting to know is how do I configure the iDS 5.1 to be listening on port 389 for both IPs
When I installed iDS 5.1 I could only see one hostname and one domainname so the install went fine.
Is the Directory with multiple network adaptors setup an O/S issue or an iDS issue???
Any tips or help would be gratefully accepted!!

All my PROD systems have dual n/w cards listenning on different IPs(subnets for that matter). Data can be accessed over LDAP on both IPs with the same port. We did not have to do anything special at the Directory or the OS level.

Problem with iPlanet Directory server v5.1

Hi all,
We have upgraded (parallel) from Netscape Directory server v4.2 to iPlanet Directory Server v5.1
Here are few issues that I�m experiencing.
1. In the directory view, all accounts are displayed by the user ID rather then the Common Name like it used to be with the Netscape Directory Server.
I can not find any options to change the view.
2. When searching for the user, once user is found, i can not do the right click to be able to delete the user. (was able to in the older version).
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

I have a suggestion - try another means for administering your directory - use the console only for maintenance and tuning purposes. There are several products out there that are much better for day to day operations ...
Otherwise - I think with 5.1 the view is based on the rdn of the entries - and I am not sure it is customizable. Additionally I know 5.2 solved your second issue - maybe the latest SP of 5.1 has solved it as well - though I don't really know ...

Role of nscd in 5.1 directory server

Hi,
Can somebody tell me the role of nscd in iplanet 5.1 directory server?
I assume this has to be disabled on directory server for better performance by adding enable-cache hosts no in /etc/nscd.conf file.
Can somebody validate this?? If possible with supporting urls.
Thanks in advance

I had the same problem. DS 5.1 sp2
in my case it is trying to allocate 4.2G virtual memory

I am trying to upgrade jre installed with Sun One Java DS 5.2 from 1.5.0 to JRE 6.0 Updat 16. Is this possible?

I never received any feedback on my question.
I am attempting to upgrade our JRE version (installed with Sun One Directory Sever 5.2) from 1.4 to 1.6.

Error while installing iplanet directory server 5.0

Hi I am trying to install iPlanet directory server 5.0 on my local machine.My computer name doesnot contain any domain name.it is simply like "ERT3210".
While installing Directory server it is asking for the computer name and if i give the computer name without domain it is not accepting.And i am unable to rename my computer name suffixing domain name as it is not contained in any domain..Now How can i give the computer name to install directory server?.Its very urgent for me.It will be great help if any one give reply.

Start/Stop Directory Server and Start/Stop Admin Server are usually present in My Computer/Manage/Services, just start or stop the service.
Assuming the install root directory is %LDAP_ROOT%
You could always create program icons for
1) start/stop dirrectory server
%LDAP_ROOT%\slapd-%COMPUTERNAME%\start-slapd.exe
%LDAP_ROOT%\slapd-%COMPUTERNAME%\stop-slapd.exe
2) start/stop admin server
%LDAP_ROOT%\start-admin.exe
%LDAP_ROOT%\stop-admin.exe
3) SUN ONE Console (iPlanet Console)
%LDAP_ROOT%\startconsole.exe

Directory Server 6.2 upgrade to 6.3: import LDIF problem

Hi all,
I have tried upgrading my Directory Server 6.2 to version 6.3 because of the database integrity issues as stated in:
http://blogs.sun.com/dsee/entry/directory_server_6_2_database
I have followed the steps defined in this article:
1. Shut down each directory server instance, as described in Starting, Stopping, and Restarting a Directory Server Instance.
2. Perform an LDIF export of the database, as described in Backing Up to LDIF.
3. Install the hotfix for bug 6642430 on Directory Server 6.2, or upgrade your Directory Server 6.2 instance to Directory Server 6.3 once Directory Server 6.3 is available for download (early April). You will need to login to Sunsolve in order to see this bug description.
But when importing the LDIF export, I got the following error:
[17/Dec/2008:14:44:08 +0100] - import ec: WARNING: Skipping entry "sunPortalAdminPortalDomainPortalServerInstanceMonitoringID=Monitoring,sunPortalAdminPortalDomainPortalServerInstanceID=sol10portal-80,sunPortalAdminPortalDomainPortalID=portal1,sunPortalAdminPortalDomainID=defaultDomain,o=example" whichIt's the only information I get about why the entry was skipped (I did not forget to copy the part after 'which', there was no information there :-))
This resulted in a missing Portal instance configuration and thus I got a 'configuration error' when surfing through the gateway to the portal.
I have also tried: manually importing that entry, which resulted in a 'Object does not exist' error. I have tried copying the whole tree from another backup with identical setup, which wasn't working either.
Did anyone experience the same problems before? Did I do something wrong or is there a workaround for this?
Second question: What is the exact reason why a export and import is necessary? Or is it only necessary if the database is already corrupt? Is there a way to check that?
Thanks alot!
Sten

The entry was not imported most likely because it's parent isn't in the database yet. Are entries above this in another backend ? If so try importing that backend first. Also, that dn is so long, that it exhausted the buffer which is used to write messages in the access log. This is why, there's nothing after "which".
What is the exact reason why a export and import is necessary? Or is it only necessary if
the database is already corrupt? Is there a way to check that?The database corruption could be silent. So a binary backup/restore when going from 6.2 to 6.3 is not recommended and the LDIF route must be used.

Migration from iplanet webserver to Sun Directory Server

Hi,
I have Oracle Iplanet WebServer Enterprise edition V6.0 SP2 in my dev environment. I would want to migrate the system to Sun Java System Directory Server V6.0. I have looked up the migration guide for Sun DS V6.0. But i could not find any reference to Iplanet WebServers.
Can anybody please let me know the migration procedure for migrating from Iplanet Server to Sun Directory server.
Any help would be appreicated
Thank you
Nowfal

Please ignore this question since we have dropped the plan to migrate, instead set a new DS instance from the beginning

Solaris 8 and iPlanet Directory Server 5.1: Help

Could anyone help with advice or where to find documentation of how to setup a Solaris 8 client machine to authenticate against iPlanet Directory Server 5.1? The only documentation (eg books, BluePrint articles) I can find cover iPlanet Directory 4.11 or 4.12 and a Solaris 8 client. Even the tools from the BluePrint Tools area at Sun only talk about using iPlanet Directory Server 4.11/12. Quite a lot seems to have change from iDS 4.12 to iDS5.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Stewart

Hi Steven, I suppose that this question is identical to your other question: " Topic: solaris 8 client setup with solaris 9 ldap".
So the answer will be the same.
You may find what you are looking for in the following technical note: http://knowledgebase.iplanet.com/ikb/kb/articles/7966.html
It is called: "Cookbook for Solaris 8 client with Directory Server 5.1/Solaris 9"

Info about Japanese iPlanet Directory server

I am evaluating Japanese localized version of directory server.
I am not able to find any document which can tell me about the
localization of this product.
I have following questions:
1. What level of localization is done. Has console localized ?
Does log messages localized.
2. What env variables I need to set to see console GUI in Japanese
3. Do I need to set some env variables (like $LANG) before running the start script.
It is urgent for me, if somebody can answer these or point me to some good doc, it will great
help to me
Thanks
- Bharat

Hi,
Info about japanese iPlanet directory Server.
Gateway is localized for English, Japanese, French, Spanish, and German. You can configure the gateway to support additional locales.
Language files are stored in /usr/iplanet/servers/dsgw/html/lang and /usr/iplanet/servers/dsgw/config/lang, where lang is defined in RFC1766.
For example, language files for Japanese are stored in /usr/iplanet/servers/dsgw/html/ja and /usr/iplanet/servers/dsgw/config/ja[true]).
Support for the character sets necessary to render a particular locale (language) must be available in the browser's configuration.

IPlanet directory server can't start in a user account - A bug?

I installed iplanet directory server 5.1 in Solaris 9. I am using typical install mode. I set UserA/GroupA to represent the directoy server that means the directory server instance running in this user account. After I input the user name and group name, it gives a very strange message, say "suffix must have a valid dn. Press any key to continue" After I press any key, it continue to do other setup. Once instllation done, if I try to login as that user account and start-slapd, it just give an error message, " iplanet/servers/bin/slapd/server do not have permission". I checked this directory, UserA do not have even read access to the directory.
So is this a bug in this verion of directory server/
Thanks,
Iris

It's very likely that you gave an Invalid DN for the Suffix of your directory instance...
The setup should have asked again the DN... It looks like a problem with the setup command.

Question re how iPlanet Directory Server applies the Look Through Limit.

I have a question on how iPlanet Directory Server applies the lookthrough limit...
I am running an LDAP search on a 4.13 directory. The search filter is:
"(&(rtrdaMaturityDate>=20020128)(rtrdaMaturityDate<=20020130))"
rtrdaMaturityDate is an int, and indexed with pres,eq,sub
There are 244680 entries where rtrdamaturityDate>=20020128
383005 entries where rtrdaMaturityDate<=20020130
484 entries which satisfy both conditions
When the query is run as Directory Manager it just hangs (presumably it would complete eventually).
When run as another user it gives a size limit error. The size limit and lookthrough limit on the directory are both 5000 . As the matching number of entries doesn't exceed the size limit, I think perhaps it is the lookthrough limit causing the problem...
It looks as if it treats each part of the filter separately, building an candidate list for each, giving an error if both reach the look through limit. i.e. it does not realise that both parts of the filter could be treated together.
Is this correct ?
This theory is born out by the fact that if I change the value so the filter would logically return only the highest few values, the search works (i.e. as if the <= filter condition hit LTL, but the >= did not).
Also, if I add another condition to give "(&(rtrdaIssuerBgNid=4403)(rtrdamaturityDate>=20020128)(rtrdaMaturityDate<=20020130))" then the search eventually correctly returns a single entry. (IssuerBgNid=4403 on its own gives 1004 entries).
Can I therefore assume that a seach will only work if at least one condition in the filter gives a candidate list with less entries than the look through limit?
Any advice on how to implement a range search like this would also be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave.

The lookthrough limit is reached when the resulting candidate list contains more entries than the limit...
Lookthrough limit has been implemented specifically to for Range filters (and OR filters) to avoid consuming too many resources.
For your particular problem, you can increase the lookthrough limit... but it will affect all users and searches.
Note that iPlanet Directory Server 5.x does provide a per User LookThrough Limit (and other limits as well), therefore you could just increase the lookthrough limit for the specific users performing these searches.
Regards,
Ludovic.

Store Print & File Server on iPlanet Directory Server?

I've a NT 4.0 server which I'm using as both a Print & File Server. Would I be able to use iPlanet Directory Server to do the same thing?
If I can, please explain how? or direct me to where I can know how?
If it can't be done, is there any other way(s) I can do it?
Thanks!

I don't understand. iDS is not a file and print server, it is a user data and user authentication server. Do you want to use iDS for your user authentication for file and print services instead of NT 4 domains? I don't think this is possible. What is possible is using iDS as your primary data store, and using iPlanet Meta Directory to sync changes from iDS to the NT 4 domain.

Last Logon Time in Iplanet Directory Server 4.1

Hi,
It would be great help if any one of you could let me know the attribute in Iplanet Directory Server 4.1 to get the Last Logon Time of a particular account.
The Directory Server is on solaris.
Thanks

Hari,
You can try to find it from the logfiles.
I actually designed a plugin for this type of thing, but it's not yet implemented. It would simply write a timestamp to a user's entry after every successful bind, among other things which I won't go into detail about now...
