Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.3 Administration Guide

1.5 Installing Messaging Server Provisioning Tools

The following sections provide a summary of install information about the supported provisioning tools:

1.5.1 Schema 1 Delegated Administrator for Messaging

Two GUI provisioning tools are available for Messaging Server, the iPlanet Delegated Administrator (Sun LDAP Schema 1) and the Communications Services Delegated Administrator (Sun LDAP Schema 2). This section discusses the former. For details on the latter see the Sun Java System Delegated Administrator 6.4 Administration Guide.

To install the iPlanet Delegated Administrator (Sun LDAP Schema 1), you need to download it from the Sun Software page. Contact your Sun Java System representative for information on the download location information.


Note –

The iPlanet Delegated Administrator can only be installed after Messaging Server and Web Server are installed and configured. For more information on installing iPlanet Delegated Administrator, see the iPlanet Delegated Administrator documentation.

iPlanet Delegated Administrator is only available for those customers with existing Messaging Server 5.x installations and who are currently installing Messaging Server 6. It is not available to those customers new to the Messaging Server product.

iPlanet Delegated Administrator must be used with Sun Java System Web Server 6.0 (which is only bundled with the previous Messaging Server 5.2 product). You cannot use Web Server 6.1 (bundled with the Java Enterprise System installer) with iPlanet Delegated Administrator.



Note –

When you install the following products, use the Java Enterprise System installer. Note that some of these products have their own configuration whereas other product configurators are embedded in the Java Enterprise System installer/configurator. For more information, refer to specific product documentation.


ProcedureTo Install iPlanet Delegated Administrator

  1. Be sure that Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 is installed and configured.

    For more information, read the appropriate Sun Java System Directory Server Installation Guide.

  2. Install and configure Messaging Server.

    Messaging Server will detect that you are using Sun LDAP Schema 1 since Sun Java System Access Manager will not be installed.

  3. Install Sun Java System Web Server 6.0 from your previous Messaging Server 5.2 bundle.

    Review the Sun Java System Web Server documentation and the Sun Java System Delegated Administrator documentation.

  4. Install iPlanet Delegated Administrator for Messaging 1.2 Patch 2.

    Contact your Sun support representative to obtain the latest version.

    Refer to the iPlanet Delegated Administrator documentation.

1.5.2 LDAP Provisioning Tools

Sun LDAP Schema 1 users and groups can be provisioned using the LDAP Directory tools (Schema 2 is not supported).

ProcedureTo Install Schema 1 LDAP Provisioning Tools

  1. If Directory Server is not already installed, be sure to install and configure it.

    For more information, refer to the Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Guide for UNIX.

  2. Configure Access Manager to recognize data in your Directory Server.

    Before Access Manager can recognize the data in your LDAP directory, you must add special object classes to entries for all organizations, groups and users that will be managed by Access Manager. If you have not done this already, do it before you start provisioning new accounts. Sample scripts are bundled in the Access Manager product to help you automatically add these object classes to your directory. For more information on these post-installation steps, see the Sun Java System Access Manager Migration Guide.

  3. Install and configure Messaging Server with help from this guide.

    Messaging Server will detect which Sun Java System LDAP Schema you are using, depending on whether or not Access Manager is installed.

  4. Install and configure Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 to enable mail filtering in Messenger Express.

    For more information on enabling mail filtering, see 1.9 Configuring Messenger Express and Communications Express Mail Filters.

    Though mail filtering is not a provisioning tool, its functionality existed in the previous GUI version of Delegated Administrator for Messaging.

  5. Refer to the Sun Java System Messaging Server documentation to perform LDAP provisioning.

    For Sun LDAP Schema 1 LDAP provisioning, use the iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 Provisioning Guide and Sun Java Communications Suite 5 Schema Reference. The Schema Reference contains object classes and attributes for both Sun LDAP Schema 1 and v.2.
