Migrating to new Domains

Wow, that's a GREAT question!
Since LSF is a fairly new product, I haven't seen any official documentation on doing this in particular, but I'll give you my ideas.

I can think of following places you will need to look at:
1. The easiest change is the "Users Group" on the Environment Configuration.
2. If you're using ldapbind for AD authentication, you'll need to change that.
3. The toughest part is the NT00xxxxx user mappings, etc. which is stored in the LDAP repository. You'll need to change those so they remain with the same NT000xxx names, but pointing to a different DOMAIN\USERNAME. You can do that by creating an XML file and running thru "ldifgen xmltosdataldif" / ldapmodify / ssoconfig.

I would also assume that you'd want to dump/reload your LDAP repository so that it has a different DN/CN naming convention...

Well, the LDAP is more painful. It is quite simpler if you have IBM Tivoli is used than ADAM.

I know I've come across an article that explains on how to change the IP address. May be you need to have a look into it to get some clue.

Meanwhile I'll try to think few more steps.

Ok, this is what we discussed...
0. Do a stoplaw & stop WAS
1. Stop WAS, uninstall the applications (IOS, Lawsec & BPM)
2. Uninstall WAS & IBMIHS and install them on this new domain, so that there aren't issues with these third parties.
3. LDAP
a. Export the LDAP content pertaining for this instance of Lawson. Open a text editor & change the values pertainaing to the domain & import back the values.
b. Or manually search for all values pertaining to this domain & change the values.
4. Change the domain values for the domain in install.cfg under $LAWDIR/system directory.
5. Do a startlaw & check if things are OK
6. Configure a new WAS application server for this instance of Lawson & install Lawsec, BPM & IOS respectively.

Did this work?

Ganesh, any pointers/docs on setting up LDAP using ADAM or Tivoli for LSF 9.0.

Thanks.

Ganesh,

I see that you've had some previous experiencve changing domain names in Lawson.  In todays, version (LSF9) do you know of any documentation in regards to changing domain names and does lawson still certiify the product if this work is performed by our in house staff

I have never heard of Lawson needing to come back in to recertify anything once it is installed. (And don't get started on that topic...) What you do with your system is your business.

When you say "changing the domain name", that's not hard (it involves dumping and reloading via ssoconfig and some changes to Websphere and possibly your web server) as well as changing servenv.js on Portal, Studio, PSA, LBI (if you have those on separate servers).

John,
It's a bit more than that, if they are a Windows client. Your NTID-to-SID mappings would be broken too.

Kwane, good point about the SIDs. I was thinking FQDNs vs. NT domains!
