APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• PMR: 74221,L6Q,000
  
  Problem Description:
  
  TAM v510 with LA-0012 installed  PDcofig for policy server fails
  with
  msg - error code 0X20 was received from LDAP.  We are using
  iplanet
  version 5.2 for LDAP
  
  We then created an ldif file with the information to add the
  "secAuthority=Default" dn to the LDAP. After which time the
  pdconfig
  was able to complete sucessfully.
  
  I could not find any documentation any where that we need to
  "pre-load" the "secAuthority=Default" record into the LDAP
  before
  begining the pdconfig.
  
  Workaround:
  
  
  1) create a LDIF file (secAuth.ldif)  that contains:
  
  dn: secAuthority=Default
  objectclass: secAuthorityInfo
  objectclass: eApplicationSystem
  objectclass: eSystem
  objectclass: cimLogicalElement
  objectclass: cimManagedSystemElement
  objectclass: cimManagedElement
  objectclass: top
  secAuthority: Default
  version: 3.0
  
  2) run a ldapmodify -a -c -D cn=root -w <secretpassword>  -f
  secAuth.ldif
  

Local fix

• manually create ldap entry
  

Problem summary

•  see main problem description
  

Problem conclusion

•  In our TAM 5.1 Base Installation Guide page
  86 under section "Setting up Sun One Directory Server", the dire
  ctions for creating suffix "secAuthority=Default" using Sun One
  Console (i.e. GUI) are described.
