To add a new time zone in Delegated Administrator

You must perform this task before you can use either the commadmin utility or the Delegated Administrator console to provision users with the new time zone. This task updates Access Manager with the new time zone value. After this task is completed, you can use commadmin to assign the new time zone to users.

Add the time zone in Calendar Server.

To accomplish this step, you must edit the timezones.ics file and other Calendar Server files. For instructions, see “Adding a New Time Zone” in the chapter, “Managing Calendar Server Time Zones” in the Sun Java System Calendar Server Administration Guide.

Back up the UserCalendarService.xml and DomainCalendarService.xml files.

The xml files are located by default in the following directory:

da-base/lib/services

Edit the UserCalendarService.xml and DomainCalendarService.xml files to add the new time zone in Delegated Administrator.

In both the UserCalendarService.xml and DomainCalendarService.xml files, find the following entry heading:

<AttributeSchema name="icstimezone"
                            type="single choice"
                            syntax="string"
                            any="optional|adminDisplay">
                            <ChoiceValues>

Add the new time zone value to the list of <ChoiceValues>.

Run the Access Manager amadmin utility to delete the current service and add the updated service.

For both the UserCalendarService.xml and DomainCalendarService.xml files, run the following amadmin commands:
./amadmin -u <admin> -w <password> -r CalendarService
./amadmin -u <admin> -w <password> -s da_base/lib/services/CalendarService.xml
where CalendarService is either UserCalendarService or DomainCalendarService.

Note –
If you also intend to make the new time zone your default, you can run these amadmin commands after you have performed both tasks. For details, see To change the default time zone in Delegated Administrator.

Restart your Web container to enable the changes to take effect.

To enable the Delegated Administrator console to show the new time zone, see To display and administer the new time zone in the Delegated Administrator console.
