Migrate pab from Netscape 4.15 to Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2

Hi all!

I have installed JES 6.2 and through MoveUser and a little LDAP attribute modify I have migrated all mail/account from Netscape 4.15 to JES.

Now I have to migrate PAB from Netscape Webmail to JES Messenger Express 6.2.

All my PAB stay in o=pab of SunOne Directory Server. How can I migrate this structure to another root (o=pabjes, for instance) for JES Messenger EXpress?

There is any scripts to do that?

Thank you very much

Best Regards

Marco

Well, you can export your o=pab to ldif, edit the file iwth a text editor, replacing the o=pab globally with o=pabjes, and then import the result.Or, you can simply point your 6.2 system to the same o=pab.......

First, thank for the answer.

I tried,

but Netscape and JES PAB are quite different.

This is an entry Netscape:

dn: cn=170695183, ou=testcomune, o=pab

mail: muzzo@csi.it

givenName;lang-it: Plutarco

objectClass: top

objectClass: person

objectClass: organizationalPerson

objectClass: inetOrgPerson

objectClass: pabperson

cn;lang-it: Plutarco Plutone

memberofpab: 117080712

sn;lang-it: Plutone

cn: 170695183

And this is an entry JES:

dn: un=ziopinoc6173be, ou=testcomune, o=pab

mail: re@csi.it

un: ziopinoc6173be

givenName: zio

objectClass: top

objectClass: person

objectClass: organizationalPerson

objectClass: inetOrgPerson

objectClass: pabperson

sn: pino

cn: zio pino

As you see, in dn

JES appear un

instead of cn

.

Attributes are little different.

Really, in JES Communication Express I can see also the old entry of pab. But I can't edit them by click to "Display Name": all field appear empty in the opening window.

So, I think two operation are needed:

1) a script that modify attributes from netscape pab to JES pab.

2) when I add a JES account, the pab is added in a tree that is not the netscape pab. The autocreate netscape pab was:

ou=<uid>,o=pab

the autocreate JES pab is:

ou= <tree_of_account_on_his_root>,ou=<uid>,o=pab

To avoid confusion, I would like keep old tree style also for new account without change it by hand in paburi attribute.

Is that possible?

Thank you very much again

You may need to migrate through 5.2 on the way to 6.2. You will now need to contact Tech Support to get a copy of 5.2, as it's been withdrawn from the download site.
