Chapter 11 Administering Domains

Administer Calendar Server hosted (or virtual) domains using one of the two command-line utilities:

User Management Utility commadmin domain commands – For Schema 2 environments. Bundled with Identity Server. See the Sun Java System Communications Services User Management Utility Administration Guide at:

http://docs.sun.com/coll/CalendarServer_04q2

Calendar Server utilities csdomain and csattribute – For Schema 1 environments. Bundled with Calendar Server. See Appendix D, "Calendar Server Command-Line Utilities Reference."



Note	Even in Schema 2 mode, you will have to use the Calendar Server utilities for calendar creation and maintenance. Where this applies, the exact utility to use will be specified in the various task descriptions in this guide.

This chapter contains the following sections about creating and administering hosted domains:

Caution	Calendar Server does not support using the Identity Server Console for domain administration.

Creating New Domains

This section covers the following topics on setting up Calendar Server enabled domains:

Creating New Domains

Setting Domain Specific Attributes and Preferences

Creating New Domains

Once your calendar installation has been configured for hosted domains and the preparation work described in Chapter 5, "Setting Up Hosted Domains" has been performed, you can add new hosted domains using the following tools:

User Management Utility – Use the commadmin domain create command. This command allows you to add domains in a Schema 2 environment that are enabled for Identity Server authentication. See the command reference in the Sun Java System Communications Services User Management Utility Administration Guide at:

http://docs.sun.com/coll/CalendarServer_04q2

Calendar Server csdomain utility – This utility is described in Appendix D, "Calendar Server Command-Line Utilities Reference".

For LDAP Schema 1, both the DC Tree and the OSI tree must already exist in the LDAP directory before using csdomain. The csdomain utility does not create these trees. However, since the configuration program creates these for you, it should not be an issue.

Setting Domain Specific Attributes and Preferences

Each domain has a set of attributes and preferences that you can set using the csdomain utility (Schema 1) or the commadmin utility (Schema 2). These attributes are part of the icsCalendarDomain object class. The attributes include preferences such as access rights, access control lists (ACLs), domain searches, access rights for domain searches, user status, and proxy logins.

Several documents with valuable information on the utilities and schema attributes are available at:

Administering Domains

Administer domains using the User Management Utility commadmin commands for Schema 2, or the Calendar Server utility csdomain for Schema 1. You can create, delete or list domains with these utilities.

For csdomain, there is no modify command. Use ldapmodify to add or change object classes and attributes in domains created with csdomain.
