Preparing Configuration File for Mail Users Only

Previously after installing SIMS 3.1 or 3.2 for the first time, you needed to populate the LDAP directory that SIMS uses for its mail users only. In SIMS 3.5, the Sun Web Access client requires that you populate the directory for Calendar users in addition to e-mail users.

To support the new client, you need to use imldifsync to create the LDIF file. See Section "Configuring Existing Users in the LDAP Directory Database to Use Web Access," for more information about this program.

If you selected this optional client during installation, the file imldifsync.conf will contain entries that supports both Calendar users and SIMS mail users. If, however, you wish to populate the directory for the mail users only, you need to remove the Web Access entry from the imldifsync.conf file. The steps are shown below:

To populate the directory for the mail users only

option = {"generate=SIMSmail", "generate=IMCalendar"}

"generate=IMCalendar"

option = {"generate=SIMSmail"}

You may now use this modified file imldifsync.conf to populate the directory for mail users only. See Chapter "Sun Directory Services Administration," in the Sun Internet Mail Server 3.5 Administrator's Guide for detailed instructions on populating the directory.
