Resolution
Please follow the steps listed below:
-
Edit /etc/datasync/configengine/configengine.xml .
-
Make sure that the <hostname></hostname> has the correct DNS name or IP Address of the LDAP Server.
If DNS Name is being used, please type "rcnscd restart" to flush the DNS Cache just in case the DNS Cache has incorrect information. -
Make sure that the <port></port> has the correct port - 389 or 636.
-
Make sure that the <secure></secure> is set correctly - true or false depending if the LDAP connection is secured or unsecured
-
Check the <admins></admins> section and make sure that the <dn></dn> is set correctly with the correct user and context. This user is used to login as the Admin of the DataSync in WebAdmin. Multiple <dn></dn> sections can be specified to provide more than one administrator.
-
Check the <login></login> section and make sure the <dn></dn> of the user is set correctly with the correct password in <password></password> . This user account is used by the DataSync server to poll the LDAP users and Groups.
-
Restart DataSync by typing rcgms restart or rcdatasync restart
Please note that if you change provisioning into GroupWise, administrators defined in step 5 would not work. Such a configuration with additional administrators works only with LDAP configuration.
You can still login with root credentials.
