Backend suffix purges when Directory Server is restarted
I have Directory Server 5.2P4 running on a solaris 10 machine. There is a Tivoli Access Manager (TAM) installed and uses Directory to store its Policies/Access related data. TAM needs a root suffix secAuthority=Default to be present in directory where-in it stores its data.
I created a root suffix secAuthority=Default and named its backend database as TAM (NOT 'Default' since it gets purged when Directory is restarted). However when I restarted the Directory, the root suffix still gets deleted. There is no data in it just the suffix (secAuthority=Default).
Suggestions?
-Thanks

Any error message or warning in the error log ?
How do you create the root-suffix and configure it ?
Can you provide details of that configuration ?

I got a resolution to this. I was creating the suffix with 'Use Defaults' option rather than 'Use custom' option. Once I used custom option, the suffix was created properly and retained when Directory was re-started.
So for some reason 'Use Defaults' option does not go well with the Directory when creating a suffix of type secAuthority=Default. The 'Default' name of the backend is the problem area. secAuthority=xyz works great. But TAM expects secAuthority=Default hence the 'Use Custom' option needed.
