Question on installing DS5.2 patch5

I will start out by apologizing for asking such simple questions but here goes.

I have read the readme file for installing patch 5 and I am a little confused. My environment consists of the JES2005Q4 software running on a V890. We are having a problem with UWC vacation dates complaining about trying to add multiple values to a single valued field. I opened a support case and they said it was a known directory server bug and I needed sp5.

Here is my setup. I have once instance of the directory server running as the configuration server and another instance as the user/group directory server. The ldap servers run as slapd user and slapd group not root for security reasons. The admin server runs as root.

I was told by tech support to put the latest of these patches on:

119213, 119345, 115610, 116837, 119725 and of course the directory patch 115614-27.

In the readme it saids everything must run as the same uid:gid.

I was also told that the configuration server has to be up during the patch process by support. So does the patch patch each instance?

I guess what I am hoping for is if somebody can clarify the steps need to safely patch to SP5.

I have a test system to attempt all this on, but I figured it would be better to try and get an understanding of the proper steps first.

Thanks for your help,

Gary

If you had installed Directory Server with JavaES 2005Q4, then you must install the following patches (assuming Solaris 10), as root :

119810( >= -01)

119213 (>= -12)

119345( >= -02)

116837 (>=-03)

119725 (>=-04)

115610-24 (Admin Server)

115614-27 (Directory Server)

There is no need to worry about the uid:gid which is only an issue for Zip install.

Thanks for the information Ludovic.

I did install from the JavaES 2005Q4. The information you provided will help me out greatly. Last question and I will be out gone for awhile :-)

I assume I still need to run the /usr/sbin/directoryserver -u 5.2 sync-cds command.

Thanks,

Gary

Good question.As far as I know, it is called automatically by the post-install...But the command can be called several times... So you can still run it, it will do no harm.Regards,Ludovic.
