Sun Java System Communications Services 6 2005Q4 Deployment Planning Guide

Planning for Calendar Server Hosted Domains

Calendar Server supports hosted (or virtual) domains. In a hosted domain installation, each domain shares the same instance of Calendar Server, which enables multiple domains to exist on a single server. Each domain defines a name space within which all users, groups, and resources are unique. Each domain also has a set of attributes and preferences that you specifically set.

When installing and configuring hosted domains, use Schema 2 only.

Installing and configuring hosted domains on a server involves these high-level steps:

  1. Installing and configuring Directory Server

  2. Installing and configuring Web Server or Application Server

  3. Installing and configuring Access Manager

    The Delegated Administrator is installed with Access Manager.

  4. Installing Calendar Server

  5. Running the comm_dssetup.pl script

    For instructions on running this script, see Chapter 2, Directory Preparation Script (comm_dssetup.pl), in Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide.

  6. Configuring Communications Services Delegated Administrator

    For instructions on configuring and using the Communications Services Delegated Administrator utility, see the Sun Java System Communications Services 6 2005Q4 Delegated Administrator Guide.

  7. Creating default domain and site administrator (calmaster)

    The default domain is created when commadmin is configured, but the domain entry must be modified to add Calendar (or Mail) services. Also, the site calendar administrator (calmaster) must be set up. For instructions on how to perform these two tasks, see Part II, Postinstallation Configuration, in Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide.

  8. Configuring Calendar Server

    For instructions on running the csconfiguratior.sh program, see Chapter 3, Calendar Server Configuration Program (csconfigurator.sh), in Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide.

  9. Setting hosted domain configuration parameters for Calendar Server

    For a list of the configuration parameters and their values, see Hosted Domain Configuration in Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide.

  10. Creating the hosted domains for your site by using the commadmin utility

  11. Populating your hosted domains with users and resources by using the commadmin utility

  12. Starting Calendar Server services

    For instructions, see Starting and Stopping Calendar Server in Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide.


    Note –

    Always perform your provisioning for Schema 2 with the Communications Services Delegated Administrator interface.

    Schema 1 provisioning tools do not support hosted domains.
