Can not upgrade NMS4.15 to iMS5.0

I'm trying to upgrade form NMS 4.15 to IMS 5.0.

We're running NDS 4.12. I've followed the migration instructions, ran the ims_dssetup.pl utility, got up to installing ims. The install fails with:

"ERROR

A serious problem occurred while installing the iPlanet Messaging Server Common messaging configuration in LDAP. It reported the following problem:

The server configuration for the Common messaging configuration in LDAP cannot be created."

Here's what the log file reports:

"NOTICE: Creating Common messaging configuration in LDAP.

This is a test server: Sun Ultra 10, Solaris 8.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

The installer for iMS is picky, very, post install things are much better.Are you using an existing configuration instance of LDAP or a new one? If an existing one, have you run the ims_dssetup.pl against it? You need too. You must also be pointing at the supplier for this instance and the user/group instance. I don't think the installer follows referrals. :(

You can use a dummy directory for user/group during the install, and then post install change things to use the real user/group consumer.
