With TX, DSEE needs to be installed in the global zone.  I even tried creating 
a separate zone (and label) for LDAP, such that all other labels would dominate 
it, but that didn't help.  The installer complains about not having access to 
the TX files in /etc/security/tsol to create the collections.  Otherwise, this 
would be the ideal solution.

Since an ldap server cannot be its own client, and it would have to be 
installed in the global zone, is this something that should be resolved with 
rsync, svn, cvs, etc. instead of LDAP?

Thanks,
