iPlanet Messaging Server with Calendar

We're trying to get Calendar Server and Messaging Server (both 5.x) working on the same Solaris machine BUT we are restricted to traffic on Port 80 only (!) by the internal security group and strict firewall policies. The 2 products share the same LDAP data store (which currently happens to be iDS 4.16, but is being upgraded shortly).

As both products have their own http listener, we can run one or the other but, as you would expect, we get a port conflict error from whichever product we invoke second.

Is there a way to get these 2 products to 'share' a single http daemon? If not, is there another way you could suggest to get these 2 working in this configuration?

The only other port open to us is 443, so we are also working on trying to get iMS 5.1 to work using shttp without using any other security settings (e.g., certificate, token, etc.). Are we correct in assuming Messaging Server work properly in this configuration (i.e., session encryption only)?

Thank you.

Regards, John

I don't think it's possible to setup on same http daemon, however you could create a virtual host (need another ip) and then you can run 2 port 80's on the same machine. How to do: create file hostame.ei:1where ei is your Ethernet Interface ie.hme0 or eri0 with your new hostname. place new hostname and its corresponding IP in /etc/hosts. reboot and then set messaging server to new ip.

Thank you for replying so quickly with a very good idea. We're now hunting for an extra NIC for the machine so we can implement your suggestion.Best regards, John H.

You don't need another NIC. You can setup virtual hosts on one NIC.

I am attempting to do this using Apache virtual hosts. I am almost there. I have set up the virtual host in Apache (listening on port 80) I have calendar and messaging server listening on two other ports.

I created the Virtual Host entries to redirect the traffic to the proper ports. All I need to do is tell Apache where the documents are that will be served.

Document Root. = ?

Any ideas...I need the info for both calendar and messaging server.
