Re: [389-users] Clarification on admin server and console

2010-08-16 Thread Gerrard Geldenhuis
I understand that on a (physical/virtual) server there can be multiple directory server instances but only one admin server instance. However, what I'm wondering is whether it is possible for an instance of the admin server to manage directory servers on different boxes. For example, could I

[389-users] Replica ID uniqueness between NetscapeRoot and userRoot

2010-08-16 Thread Gerrard Geldenhuis
Hi This is going to seem obvious but is the Replica ID unique to a server or unique to a database and server. What I mean is that if I setup both NetscapeRoot and UserRoot to replicate can I use Replica ID of x for both because they are on the same server or does it need to be x and x+1?

What's not necessary? Note that the admin server and directory server have separate cert databases. Also note that the NSS crypto team is working towards a unified system-wide cert db. That could have been more clear, I meant that a lack of certs in the Admin Server db should not cause

Hi Brandon, It seems to me that the password policy is being applied to your Directory Manager user. I recall that you can disable password policy for cn=config users but can't find that in the documentation now. It is also worth while reading the second paragraph of 7.1.1.5 in the Admin guide

Hi If I set nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access: off I am not able to login to the 389-console. I can remedy this by checking the checkbox Use SSL in Console in the Encryption tab on the Directory Server console. This seems a strange solution to the problem. Why would disabing anonymous access

Hi In the management console there is a Security level: domestic I found no reference to this in the documentation and a quick google revealed this page: http://docs.sun.com/source/816-5567-10/3_consol.htm which suggest that this has to do with the type and level of encryption used. Thus
