iAS 6.0 SP3/Win2K uses iDS 4.x that is incompatible with Win2K
Hi,
iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 is the version that supports Win2K
It looks like the latest test drive iAS 6.0 SP3 is integrated with iDS 4.x
that is incompatible with Win2K. When I installed iDS 5.0, and then
installed iAS, it aborts saying that the existing directory server has to be
uninstalled. So there is no way to use the right version of the iDS for my
OS which is Win2K Pro (not server).
Does anyone have any pointers for me on how to proceed? I was able to run 1
demo app.
Thank you.
Ciao!

Hi,
Are you using testdrive? It wont allow you to choose custom installation. It
allows user to do only express installation. So You just uninstall iDS and
install iAS. iDS4.13 is bundled with iAS. You can do custom instalation in
solaris by running basesetup.sh script. Even you can choose your own directory
server by typical installation too. But those options are not there with NT. So
you can use iAS, by uninstalling iAS uninstall iDS then install iAS. iDS
bundledw ith iAS works fine with win2k,
thanks

Hi
You are right iAS SP3 is bundled with iDS 4.x and iDS 5.x has to be
seperately installed before iAS is installed. Please try to do an custom
installation of iAS which could really help. The problem is all about the
compatibilty with Win2K, actually the problem is iAS 6.0 SP3 supports with Win2K
but iDS 4.x is not supported. If you have additional resources you can very well
go ahead and install iDS in a seperate system with compatible O/S and iAS in
Win2K system. Hope you understand. Please let me know if this helps.
