Groups by LDAP Sync Read Only

Appu_Nair

DirSvcs 3.0 and LL9.7.Using LDAP Sync Read Only.Used MMC to develop custom search filter.User filter looks like (cn=qalluser)Group Filter looks like(objectcategory=group)(description=Bingle Finance Users*)When I run an LDAP sync the qalluser gets created with Default GroupWhen I check Synchronize groups I get an error .SynchronizeGroups [Pass: 1][Mon Dec 17 08:51:30 2007] : Synchronization completed with error: Error searching LDAP.At this point if the query worked would a group called "Bingle Finance Users" be created i n livelink or should I go into Add Department Mapping and add the group manually and create a livelink group and map it there.And will the uniquemembers o that group be created as users in livelink with the same department.I guess all I am asking is whether or not to use an existing AD groups structure and replicate them in livelink without having to manually add the users or groups.Is this possible with LDAP readonly or would that take schema changes to AD.

Message from Chris Wagg via eLinkthe problem does not appear to be your search filter, though I wouldsuggest that you change your group search filter to this:(&(objectcategory=group)(description=Bingle Finance Users*)) This filter will require that both criteria be met, rather than eithercriteria.As for the problem you are having, I would recomment opening a ticketwith support, as there are a number of things that could affect this.---------------------------------------Chris WaggSenior Product SpecialistLivelink Escalations Support TeamOpen Text CorporationPh: 800-540-7292--------------------------------------------Original Message-----From: eLink Discussion: Livelink Directory Services Discussion[mailto:directoryservices@elinkkc.opentext.com] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2007 10:09 AMTo: eLink RecipientSubject: Groups by LDAP Sync Read OnlyGroups by LDAP Sync Read OnlyPosted by Nair, Appu on 12/17/2007 10:05 AMDirSvcs 3.0 and LL9.7.Using LDAP Sync Read Only.Used MMC to develop custom search filter.User filter looks like (cn=qalluser)Group Filter looks like(objectcategory=group)(description=Bingle Finance Users*)When I run an LDAP sync the qalluser gets created with Default GroupWhen I check Synchronize groups I get an error .SynchronizeGroups [Pass: 1][Mon Dec 17 08:51:30 2007] : Synchronization completed with error: Errorsearching LDAP.At this point if the query worked would a group called "Bingle FinanceUsers" be created i n livelink or should I go into Add DepartmentMapping and add the group manually and create a livelink group and mapit there.And will the uniquemembers o that group be created as users inlivelink with the same department.I guess all I am asking is whether or not to use an existing AD groupsstructure and replicate them in livelink without having to manually addthe users or groups.Is this possible with LDAP readonly or would thattake schema changes to AD.[To reply to this thread, use your normal E-mail reply function.]============================================================Discussion: Livelink Directory Services Discussionhttps://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll/open/3062146Livelink Server:https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dllTo Unsubscribe from this Discussion, send an e-mail tounsubscribe.directoryservices@elinkkc.opentext.com.
