Which directory server for naming?

We are currently using OID for our Oracle naming resolution.  We are not running Identity Management, Portal, or any of the myriad of other middleware products that rely on directory server.  
I need to migrate the OID to new hosts.  I've been flailing about with ODSEE, not realizing that Oracle has 3 different directory servers -- OID, OUD, and ODSEE.  Which one of these would be the best to use for this purpose?   Also, which one would leave me in the best position if we do adopt one of these other products?

OUD is the best option as it supports TNS Names and EUS like OID does. I don't think ODSEE is an option here.
Have a look at Frankie goes to Hollywood: Oracle Unified Directory 11.1.2.1.0: TNS and EUS - Part 1: TNS Resolving

  • 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.

  • Generating Self Signed Certificate for iPlanet Directory Server for testing

    Hi Experts,
    I am unable to find how to generate self signed certificate for iPlanet Directory Server for testing purpose. Actually what i mean is i want to connect to the iPlanet LDAP Server with LDAPS:// rather than LDAP:// for Secured LDAP Authentication. For this purpose How to create a Dummy Certificate to enable iPlanet Directory Server SSL. I searched in google but no help. Please provide me the solution how to test it.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Kalyan

    Here's one I did earlier.
    Refers to Solaris 10
    SSL Security
    add a new certificate that lasts for ten years (120 months).
    stop the instance:
    dsadm stop <instance>
    Remove DS from smf control:
    dsadm disable-service <instance>
    Change Certificate Database Password:
    dsadm set-flags <instance> cert-pwd-prompt=on
         Choose the new certificate database password:
         Confirm the new certificate database password:
    Certificate database password successfully updated.
    Restart the instance from the dscc:
    DSCC -> start <instance>
    Now add a new Certificate which lasts for ten years (120 months; -v 120):
    `cd <instance_path>`
    `certutil -S -d . -P slapd- -s "CN=<FQDN_server_name>" �n testcert �v 120 -t T,, -x`

    Restart the instance.
    On the Security -> General tab, select the new certificate to use for ssl encryption

  • The DHCP Service failed to see a directory server for authorization error

    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.
    TechSpec90

    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?

  • H/w requirements for DIrectory server for 200,000 users

    Hi,
    I would like to implement Directory services for 200,000 users. How can I know whether iPlanet Directory 5.1 will support this many users or not? If supports, Which h/w I have to use?
    If any one can let me know the formula to calculate users and h/w
    Thanks

    The directory server can handle many more users than 200K. The hardware requirements calculations are amply explained in the book "Solaris and LDAP Naming Services" by Bialaski. If you have iPlanet support contract they can provide you tuning information which includes this info.
    You should remember the possibility of growth and load in terms of number of clients and peak requests per second. With your needs, my gut feeling is that even a Netra can host it. However, if it's an enterprise service you may want to go with at least 220 machines in a replicated configuration for load balancing and availability.
    DISCLAIMER: Use these opinions at your own risk. You must do your own analysis and calculations to design a suitable physical/logical architecture.

  • Cannot Access OpenLDAP Directory Server for Windows

    Hi All,
    Need urgent help for connecting to LDAP server which I installed on my Win 2000 Professional m/c. The LDAP installation was downloaded from the site www.ilex.fr/openldap. I successfully installed it. In the slapd.conf file, I have set the server suffice as dc=mycompany,dc=com and the rootdn is cn=Manager,dc-mycompany,dc=com. I have the following piece of code which tries to list the Java schema in the LDAP directory. The code was downloaded from sun's JNDI tutorial. The name of the Program is
    CreateJavaSchema and it is run by giving the following options:
    -l     List the Java schema in the directory
    -n<dn>      Use <dn> as the distinguished name for authentication
    -p<passwd>     Use <passwd> as the password for authentication
    -a<auth>     Use <auth> as the authentication mechanism. Default is "simple".
    I tried to run the program as java CreateJavaSchema -ncn=Manager,dc=mycompany,dc=com -psecret99
    where secret99 is the root password . However I get the following exception
    javax.naming.CommunicationException: localhost:389. Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

  • 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.

  • Configuring a Directory Server for Digital IDs and Certificates

    My company is moving toward using electronic signatures for internal documents. All of the users are on XP machines and have Acrobat Professional 8.0 installed. So far, I've been manually adding trusted IDs for each person who will be receiving signed documents that need to be validated. I'd like to make this a little easier by storing everyone's certificates on a server (Windows 2003) so that people can just go out there and add them all as one .fdf file. What I'm wondering is, what is the difference between doing it this way versus going through Acrobat and configuring a directory server? Will it work either way?
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Which J2EE server for commercial use ?

    I'm a bit new to all of this so please be gentle...
    I'm currently learning all about J2EE by going through the tutorials provided by Sun (the bookstore, the bank etc). At the moment, I use the j2ee.exe program that comes with the SDK as my server.
    My question is : when it comes to actually setting up a J2EE server for real-world use, would I still be using the same j2ee.exe or is this merely for test purposes and cannot take the strain of serious use.
    If it is merely for testing and development, which j2ee servers are used out there in the big wide world ? I hear a lot spoken about Tomcat but don't know what it is.
    I'd appreciate any comments about this. Although I can find lots of detailed knowledge about j2ee and server-side java in general, there seems to be very little information giving a general overview.
    Thanks - Steve.

    Funny cos' I was nearly gonna ask the same question myself but...One thing I know is that Tomcat is only the servlet implementation of J2EE and cannot run EJB's...this I know for sure... On the other hand, Application servers like IBM's Websphere or BEA's Weblogic can handle both Servlets and EJB's...but are quite costly....there exists an open source version called JBOSS (jboss.org) that is free and seems to be quite worth checking out...as far as j2ee.exe goes, I think it just supports basic EJB implementation on it's own and does not take care of security, transactions, persistence etc... like the expensive ones do..
    did that help?

  • Can I get the Mac address in Audit logs of Active directory server for the user's machine which connect to the network/Domain

    Hello All,
    I am trying to get the information of all the user's who connect to our Domain network by signing in using the domain account. For this I am using the Windows audit group policies ( I am not sure of there is any other way). I can see when the user tries
    to login to the network there is a audit event created on the AD/DC server. I can see the Kerberos authentication and logon/logoff events in the audit events under event viewer.  
              However the info which is being populated in these events include :- Hostname, IP address, Username and so on... But I can't see the MAC address of the user machine/system. Is there any way I can
    get the Mac address of the endpoint system as its one of the important criteria for our project.
    Any inputs on this would be appreciated, incase if there is any other way other than group policies please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Kavish

    If you use DHCP, you can query the DHCP server. There's no builtin
    method to get the MAC address directly.

  • One Open Directory server for multiple businesses?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to have one Mac OS X server seen by client computers through different domain names?
    See, I have one server now, with name:
    server01.it.lan
    As we are managing three different companies, I'd like the users working for one particular company to see the server with that company's name:
    server01.bizA.lan
    or
    server01.bizB.lan
    ...and so on.
    And I'd want whatever service used by that user to have a path or address that refers to that name, even though it will point to the same server in the end...
    After some reading, I have different avenues available which would each require quite some reading. So I'm turning to you to narrow the field of researches.
    1. First of all, is this possible? I mean, not-too-complicated possible?
    2. Where would you recommend I spend time learning?
    - DNS aliases? AFP seems to go back to the primary name when I use an alias in Directory Access... (shows server01.it.lan/share instead of server01.bizA.lan/share)
    - Network configuration duplicates, to have more than one IP address pointing to the same machine?
    - Other ideas? I don't need/want a full walkthrough. Actually, I'd prefer to just have simple hints to direct my researches...

  • Setting up Access Manager and Directory Server for Failover.

    I'm setting up 2 Access Managers AM1,AM2 and 2 Directory Servers DS1 and DS2 for failover. I've connected AM1 and AM2 to DS1. Suffixes of DS1 is replicated to DS2. Any change made to AM1 is replicated to AM2 as expected. I just patched AM1 with Access Manager patch 1 and the version information for AM1 shows 7.1 126359-01. I followed the same procedure to patch AM2 but AM2 still shows ver 7.1.
    How do I make sure both Access Managers are patched to the same version?
    I'm able to authenticate to one IIS6 site and authentication is passed on to Outlook Web Access on AM1 but when I shut down AM1 to test failover to AM2 OWA prompts me again for password. How do I resolve this?
    On AM1 http://host.domain/amserver/UI/Login?realm=sso successfully logs in but the same on AM2 gives Warning that "You have already logged in. Do you want to log out and then login to a different organization?"
    Please help !!!

    I'll answer what bits I can:
    Q: AM showing the same version?
    A: No idea on this one. I would have expected the operation you described to have produced the right answer. Check that neither your application server nor your web browser are caching old pages (ctrl-F5 in my browser)
    Q: How do I resolve re-authentication on failover?
    A: The AM documentation includes a deployment example that covers pretty closely what it is you are trying to achieve:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2278
    Specifically, the problem you are describing is related to session failover. The sessions are stored in a local DB so when you failover the backup server does not store the same information and hence requires a reauthentication. The section of the above doc that deals with this is here:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2278/gdsre?l=en&a=view

  • 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.

    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

  • Migration Users with MD5 Passwords to Directory Server 6.1 on Solaris 10

    Hi,
    We are currently in a requirement of migrating some users to a application database to inside LDAP. Currently Application maintained the passwords in the MD5 hash form. Typical 32 digit Hex value - 41da76f0fc3ec62a6939e634bfb6a342
    Is there a way we can migrate these Users password to directory Server as-is so that they don't end up facing the prospect of resetting post migration.
    I have done some of the initial ground work but seems to be missing other critical info if at all it's possible.
    I believe it's possible to have CRYPT password policy (which directory server uses from underlying OS) as one of the plug-ins to configure in a way that underlying CRYPT utility starts to process/provide/support MD5 hashes. I got it to work, my using the below command on DSEE instance:
    dsconf set-plugin-prop -p 389 CRYPT argument:'$md5$'
    But for some reasons the MD5 hash (Sun MD5 library) provides does not match with the original hash value. It's 22 char long (as I have not specified any salt length) so I am assuming it's Base64 encoded. I have a perl script which converts the original 32-digit hex values to a base64 encoded representation (which I have also verified with other open source tools)
    Is there a way I can tweak CRYPT utility or something so that it understands typical standard MD5 hashes. (Confused between Sun MD5 and BSD (Linux) MD5 - none of them seems to match standard MD5 generated value).
    Any leads on this would be really helpful ?

    Just to reclarify or throw more information:
    a password - cleartext value - testuser1 has 32-digit HEX value as - 41da76f0fc3ec62a6939e634bfb6a342
    Same password when converted to Base64 pattern becomes - Qdp28Pw+xippOeY0v7ajQg==
    But when I use pwdhash utility in DSE after configuring CRYPT to use MD5 hashes it becomes -
    {crypt}$md5$$LiB/H70zXr3xfQPoXVuUQ1
    I used below command :
    pwdhash -D /opt/SUNWdsee/dsee6/ds6/slapd-oha-dev -s CRYPT testuser1
    Actual hash value of pwdhash is -LiB/H70zXr3xfQPoXVuUQ1 with rest of the prefix is to meet RFC standard and salt and algo name separator.
    I am wondering if Sun MD5 default uses any salt even when I haven't used or DS does it. Or if any other MD5 option is there which can be used.
    Thanks,
    Gaurav
