The upgrade has beem quite rough as seen by my previous email today. I am now able to use the 389-console to access my upgraded 389ds server and admin server. Most of the issues seem to relate to the fact that I had SSL enabled on my admin server which is a problem if you attempt to upgrade via the instructions here: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/install/upgrade.html the setup-ds-admin.pl -u command wants you to enter a new CA cert, even though I already had one in there. Also, once I finally got around that, I now am not able to use the "Manage Certificates" task/utility as it appears that I don''t have the netscape pkcs#11 internal security module installed, though I can access the server just fine with TLS/SSL. I also cannot configure the admin server via the console with a message: "no protocol: asmin-serv/tasks/Configuration/ServerSetup" See the attached screenshots. Any help is appreciated. I had done a lot of reading about updating before I did this and it turned out to be a disaster anyway. -- Anthony - http://messinet.com - http://messinet.com/~amessina/gallery 8F89 5E72 8DF0 BCF0 10BE 9967 92DC 35DC B001 4A4E
