Known Problems

This section describes known problems with Communications Suite Delegated Administrator in the following areas:

Delegated Administrator Installation, Upgrade, and Configuration Problems

These problems relate to installation, upgrade, and configuration issues.

ACI Consolidation

For large-scale installations with Access Manager, Messaging Server, and an LDAP Schema 2 directory, you might want to consolidate the Access Control Instructions (ACIs) in your directory.

When you install Access Manager with Messaging Server, a large number of ACIs initially are installed in the directory. Many default ACIs are not needed or used by Messaging Server. You can improve the performance of Directory Server and, consequently, of Messaging Server look-ups, by consolidating and reducing the number of default ACIs in the directory.

For information about how to consolidate and discard unused ACIs, see the discussion about consolidating ACIs for Directory Server performance in Delegated Administrator System Administrator's Guide.

Delegated Administrator Configurator Hangs When Directory Server is Installed in a Different Location

SR number: NA

Bug number: 14397971

If Directory Server is located in a different location from Delegated Administrator, the configurator hangs. Therefore, LDAP scripts such as ldapmodify, ldapdelete, and ldapsearch do not work.

Workaround Option 1:

  1. Create the directory opt/SUNWdsee/dsee6 and create a softlink:

    ln -s /opt/DS7/dsee7/dsrk/bin /opt/SUNWdsee/dsee6

  2. Rerun the configurator.

Workaround Option 2:

Copy the SUNWdsee folder from another machine into the /opt directory.

Delegated Administrator Console and Command-Line Utilities

These problems relate to console and command-line utility issues.

In the Delegated Administrator Console, the Calendar Service Advanced Rights Interface is Missing the Calendar Group Double-Booking Option

SR Number: NA

Bug number: 12250825 (SUNBT6760564)

When the group calendar account functionality was added in Calendar Server 6.3, a new bit was added to the icsAllowRights LDAP attribute: bit 15 : allowGroupDoubleBook : "Double booking of group calendars"

The Delegated Administrator console is missing a field to "Allow double booking for new group calendars" by setting bit 15 of the icsAllowedRights attribute. (The Advanced Rights fields are in the Calendar Service section of the Organization Properties page in the Delegated Administrator console.)

Workaround: Use the commadmin domain create -R or commadmin domain modify -R command to set the advanced rights properties (bits) in the icsAllowRights attribute.

When You Add Dynamic Members to a Group in the Delegated Administrator Console, You Cannot Test a Manually Constructed LDAP URL

SR number: NA

Bug number: 12127916 (SUNBT6300923)

When you create a new group and add dynamic members to the group, you can either manually construct an LDAP URL or use the fields available in the drop-down menus to construct the LDAP URL. If you use the drop-down menus, you can click the Test LDAP URL button. If you manually construct the LDAP URL, this feature is disabled.

Contents Section is not Displayed When You Click Help

SR number: NA

Bug number: 19028256

When you click Help in the console, the Contents section is not displayed.

Workaround: Click the Show link to display the Contents section.

Return To Top Link is Broken in Online Help

SR number: NA

Bug number: 19061055

The Return to Top links on online Help screens are broken.

Workaround: Scroll to the top of the online Help screen if you wish to return to the top.

Instant Messaging Service Details Link is Broken in Help When Creating a New Organization

SR number: NA

Bug number: 19184260

When you create a new organization in the console and click Help, there is a broken link for IM Service Details.

Workaround: Ignore the link. There is no corresponding UI screen that requires it.

Delegated Administrator Compatibility Issues

Table 2 lists the known incompatibilities between Delegated Administrator for Oracle Communications Unified Communications Suite and earlier versions.

Table 2 Delegated Administrator Compatibility Issues

Incompatibility Impact Comments

Access Manager in Realm Mode (version 7.x style)

Note: Access Manager has two install types: Realm Mode (version 7.x style) and Legacy Mode (version 6.x style). Legacy Mode is the default.

At installation, you must choose Legacy Mode as the install type on the following panel:

Access Manager: Administration (1 of 6)

If the Realm Mode install type of Access Manager is installed, you are not able to run Delegated Administrator.

Directory Server releases 5.2.4 and earlier

The Directory Server feature that enforces unique values for mail attributes is not available with versions earlier than 5.2.4.

Solution: Upgrade to Directory Server 5.2.5 or later.

You also can install Directory Server 5.2.4, but you must apply patch 5.2_Patch_4_6313027. For detailed instructions, see the Enforce Unique Values for Mail Attributes section in Delegated Administrator Installation and Configuration Guide.
