  2. Sol 8/9 and Sun ONE Directory 5.2 Headaches by Khakionion · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hello, I'm trying to setup the Sun ONE Directory Server, v5.2, on a Solaris 9 server. The server appears to be running just fine, but when I try to initialize one of our Solaris 8 (or 9) boxen via either ldapconfig or sys-unconfig, I'm given an error that essentially says that I'm using an invalid profile. How is a profile supposed to be setup? I specified the profile name "default" in the idsconfig script, but haven't found any other UI for exporting/importing/creating LDAP profiles. Is there some widget I'm missing? Any help is _greatly_ appreciated. Yours truly, TEH ULTIMATE FROSTY PISS! FP ALL OVER YOUR BITCH-ASS!
