Questions about changing domain for Iplanet Messaging server 5.2
Hello,
I am running iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 Patch 2 (built Jul 14 2004) and I ned to change the default domain from abc.com to xyz.abc.com 1
I have done some things that allow most of this to work but when I use message express to send to a local user without the domain, it thinksthe local domain is still abc.com and not xyz.abc.com.
I am thinking I need to change the default domain in LDAP but I am not sure where to begin ?
Any help is welcome

Have you changed all the locations in configutil where the domain appears? In imta.cnf?You MAY need to poke through your *.js files, and search for the domain, though I doubt that this is needed. I would imagine that it's really all in the config and imta sections.

Hello jay_plesset ,
I have modified the imta.cnf already and there is only one problem, and that is sending to a local user without putting the domain on the end.
Like I said, it wants to use the abc.com rather than the subdomain xyz.abc.com
I think I have not changed something in LDAP, but I am not sure what to do as the LDAP change will break the users email account if it is incorrect. (I have already tried a few things with now joy.
Basically we cloned the abc.com system and we are seting it up to be the xyz.abc.com subdomain system.
Regards
Peter

Well, "cloning" an existing system is often a "Bad Idea". Installing new is often a better bet. . .but, from my first post . . .Have you changed all the locations in configutil where the domain appears?

Yes I have changed the domain with the configutil program, but when I do so for some of the settings, it breaks the email service !
local.defdomain
service.defaultdomain
I am thinking I need to export the LDAP stuff into an LDIF, change it all and them reimport it and the email.
Anyways

Thanks Jay, I know this is a little bit of an odd question, I am just at a point where what you suggest sounds like the better option. I wanted to try the forum before I looked at this option.Thanks againPeter
