14.6 On Failure of Migration and Restoring eDirectory to the Source Server, LDAP Does Not Bind

To bind LDAP, you must modify the values of the LDAP configuration version of the LDAP server and LDAP group objects of the source server.

If the LDAP server displays the message, “Config version 10 is greater than 8 in attribute” or a similar message, you must change the Version attribute value of the LDAP group and server objects of the source server to 8. You can change the attribute values using either ConsoleOne or iManager.

Using iManager, perform the following steps:

  1. Access iManager, then log in to the eDirectory tree where the source server you want to manage resides.

  2. In Roles and Tasks, select Directory Administration > Modify Object.

  3. Browse and select the LDAP server object of the source server, then click OK.

  4. On the General > Other tab, in Valued Attributes column, select ldapConfigVersion, then click Edit.

  5. Change the LDAP Configuration Version value as defined in the error, then click OK.

    For example, if the LDAP server displays the message, “Config version 10 is greater that 8 in attribute” or a similar message, you must change the LDAP Configuration Version attribute value of the LDAP server to 8.

  6. Click OK.

  7. Repeat Step 2 to Step 6 for LDAP group objects on the source server.

  8. Restart the LDAP module on the source server:

    On NetWare:

    unload nldap.nlm

    load nldap.nlm

    On OES 1, OES 2 Linux, or OES11

    nldap -u

    nldap -l

After performing these steps, the server returns to the status before it was in before it was removed from the eDirectory tree.
