1) what is the difference between disrsync & direct LDAP mode ?
2) what are changes i have to make to convert the messaging from dirsync
mode to direct LDAP mode? if possible give me the names of those files?
Thanks in Advance

This isn't a directory server question, it's a iPlanet Messaging server 5.2 question. Which is an aincent version, probably close to end of support life. You should be upgrading to a 6.x version of messaging server, where direct LDAP is the default mode.
Dirsync is a program that dumps the contents of the directory, and builds a database local to the messaging server with information important to the messaging server. It will run either in 'full' or 'incremental' modes.
Direct LDAP just means that LDAP has been fully integrated into the MTA. For documentation on how to configure it, and what it does, see the documentation here: http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6009-10/dirldap.htm
Hi
Thanks & i'm not aware that this is messaging ques anyway give your
support to complete this ques within forum it self.
Now my ques are..
1. can you tell me the modes avaliable in 6.x version ?
2.if possible tell me the advantages of using different modes?

Yes, I gave an answer because I know it, and to be helpful. You still will get better answers about the Messaging server by asking in the correct forum.
The only mode in the 6.x version is Direct LDAP.
Direct LDAP has all the advantages - it's supportable, fast, reliable, well documented.
Dirsync has absolutely no advantages, and its use must be avoided.
