Hi All,

i posted this topic on the S3 Sys admin forum, but did not get reply, i hope that on Secu forum i will have more chance.

-----

During the Lawson Core technology LSF9 installation, there is a step for 'Configuring Resource Management' where a valid DN is required.

We have created a valid DN by copying an existing DN, which was imported from an existing LDAP instance ( for test purpose).

We would like to CREATE a valid and empty DN for the new installation of LSF9.

It will look like : o=lwsn, ou=law1, dc=ABC

Is there a easy way to create this DN?

The tool 'Tivoli Diectory Server Web Administration tool' looks quite complexe for this task.

We just want a simple, empty DN for LSF9 installation.

We are running on HP-UX, IBM Tivoli LDAP.

TIA for your inputs.

I suggest you create a ldif file and load it. I believe it should look something like the follwing, with values edited based on your naming preferences:

dn: o=lwsn,dc=net,dc=law1,dc=org
changeType: add
objectclass: organization
objectclass: top

If you have a similar working LDAP you can also create this file by exporting it from the other repository.

It's been too long for me to remember exactly how I did this last year, but you might also want to look at the file rootnodes.ldif.template. If you have completed the appropriate part of the install you should find that in $GENDIR/system

You can also use idsxcfg.
Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

Hi All,
Thanks for your input. I found this simple method:

The purpose is to create an empty DN : o=lwsn,ou=law1,dc=ABC for LSF9 installation.
Steps to do:
Create one DN with idsxcfg first, it will be empty
-> Manage Suffix
Create a Suffix here : o=lwsn,ou=law1,dc=ABC

use the Tivoli LDAP console

http://:12100/IDSWebApp/IDSjsp/Login.jsp
LDAP Hostname = :389
user: cn=root
password = xxxxxxx

diectory management -> Add an Entries , from ‘Structural onject Class’ dropdown list chose Organization -> Next
on next screen, left 'selected' Empty, simply click Next
On next screen, in Relative DN put o=lwsn,ou=law1,dc=ABC
Optional attribut : lwsn -> Finish

diectory management -> Manage Entries to verify that the new entry was created

Then during the LSF9 installation, the created DN can be used
