    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
