in this picture lsa-c899 is now jive…thats the name of the local machine
The setup is like this:
Domain controller = austar-iv (local machine name) austar.local is domain (no outside access)
Jive server = jive(local machine name) on austar domain
Ldap section should look like this:
Note: adminDN is the username you would use to bind to your LDAP server. Active directory accepts two login formats, user@domain or domain/user. Also for the search filter you will want to select a filter that will not select account names that have spaces in them. This example search filter selects all accounts that are not disabled.
thank you sir
i will test this
I noticed in the message you replied to my question
with about LDAP. You said adminDN is the username
you wuold use to bind to LDAP server. We dont run an
LDAP server but I was under that suggestion that
Active Directory works with LDAP. Am I totally off?
LDAP is the mechanism that is used to access data. Active Directory is the data store. So LDAP is used to access data in Active Directory.
There is a tool that comes with Windows 2000 Support Tools called ldp.exe. On a windows 2000 CD browse to the file Support\Tools\Support.cab. After you install this file you will get the ldp.exe tool. When you run the tool you can see how ldap works to access data in active directory.
In order to access an ldap server you have to authenticate to it before you can access any data. The adminDN field in the jive-messenger.xml is the user name that is used in order to authenticate to the ldap server. The name adminDN is a little misleading because you don’'t actually have to specify the DN of the user in the case of active directory, you just specify the user name which you will use to gain access to the server. In the case of active directory an example user name would be ‘‘domain/user’’. Notice that you must specify the domain name here as well as the user name.

From the line:
javax.naming.CommunicationException: austar-iv.austar.local:389 Root exception is java.net.UnknownHostException: austar-iv.austar.local
It looks like it can’'t find the machine. Is your DNS on that machine setup correctly? Can you ping austar-iv.austar.local from the machine running jive?
beautiful
thank you so much fergi
i edited to xml file to read the IP addy instead of the DNS name
works now
it is a DNS issue, keep in mind this is a test environment so the domain controllers we have in there have been altered
Glad I could help.
