RE: [Fedora-directory-users] Configuration Directory Question
Thanks for your patience - and apoloiges for that rookie typo error.Fixed that and retried a few times but still to no avail - new instance is created and running ok but doesn''t show up in the admin console. Where does the admin server get this list of servers etc from (and will that info help me!?).If I install an instance on server2 and point it towards the config instance on server1 as part of the setup script then it does appear in the console and all is well in my DS world...Seems only to cause problems when I''m trying to create a new data instance (using ds_newinst.pl) on the server1 when the config instance (created during install/setup) is already there. If there were an option to create a new instance via the console and specify a separate configuration directory it''d be easy...presumably!Is this the normal way to do this?

I have setup 2 Master LDAP servers. During the setup I configured the second master to be a part of an existing configuration directory. When both masters are up, I can launch the console just fine from either server. When I take down the master on server1 and attempt to bring up the console from server2, I get the message that it cannot contact the master on server1. and asks if I want to start the server on server1. I want to be able to launch the console from server2 when server1 is down. Anyone know how to set this up? I have confirmed that the adm-serv is running on server2 and I am running ./startconsole -a http://server2:5555 from server2 when I get the message cannot connect to server1.

The first is in the file /opt/fedora-ds/shared/config/dbswitch.conf. I think it is also stored under o=NetscapeRoot somewhere, but I can''t remember where. But you at least have to edit dbswitch.conf and restart the admin server on each machine.> Thanks > > Cary Anderson, Systems Software Specialist > UNIX/Linux Services > Information Technology Services Branch > Technology Services & Support Division / Data Center Section > System Software & Storage Infrastructure > fCalPERS > Phone: (916) 795-2588 > Fax: (916) 795-2424 > > > > -- > Fedora-directory-users mailing list > Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users >

Satish, I installed the second ldap master on server2. I also created a netscapeRoot database on server2 in order to replicate it from the master on server1. I did not create an instance from the console.

Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Admin Console Problems
hi cary you can login to secondary master using admin console be changing in 3 different places 1. /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/config/adm.conf 2. /opt/fedora-ds/shared/config/dbswitch.conf edit an entry under the configuration directory server under the suffice 0=netscaperoot The entry can be found by first doing the following ldapsearch: #ldapsearch -x -b o=netscaperoot -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password "nsDirectoryURL=*" It would return similar to below dn: cn=UserDirectory, ou=Global Preferences, ou=localdomain, o=NetscapeRoot Copy the above dn: and create an ldif file with below contents dn: cn=UserDirectory, ou=Global Preferences, ou=localdomain, o=NetscapeRoot //Comment, Replace this line with your result of ldapsearch query changetype: modify replace: nsDirectoryURL nsDirectoryURL: ldap://<secondary-master-ip/hostname/fqdn/>:port/suffix You can refer the below link http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:AdminServerLDAPMgmt#How_to_change_the_user.2Fgroup_LDAP_server Regards Niranjan Restart the admin console #/opt/fedora-ds/stop-admin #/opt/fedora-ds/start-admin Then you can login to secondary master using adminconsole.
