iDA - Suffix - Installation - iMS52

Hi I have an issue on installing iDA which I am not sure about.

By root suffix is dc=iplanet,dc=com

My Solaris defaultdomain is iplanet.com

I am using iMS52 with iDS51.

When running ims_dssetup, it added o=internet, dc=iplanet,dc=com

Also I notice my ServiceAdmin user is uid=ServiceAdmin,o=iplanet.com,dc=iplanet,dc=com

My question is during installation of iDA what is my:

1. Enter the suffix under which the domain component (DC) tree in the Directory Server resides?

2. suffix to store its configuration data?

I tried entering dc=iplanet,dc=com for both but it did not work.

Why? Where did I go wrong?

Please try entering suffix o=iplanet.com instead of dc=iplanet,dc=com.I hope this works out for you.

A followup questions. Why is it nescessary to have a DC suffix? Why can't you just have dc=edu as your root suffix and then create a dc=school under that which will house your ou=PeopleThanks,Bob

Hello,Please take a moment to review this link. It will give you the big picture on how the directory namespace is layed out for ims 5.2 and how it has changed from the older products. http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6017-10/changes.htm#14040
