Compatibility With Previous Releases Of Gateway; Automatic Updates To Directory Configuration - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.2 - GATEWAY CUSTOMIZATION Manual

Compatibility with Previous Releases of Gateway

NOTE
Compatibility with Previous Releases of Gateway
Release 6.2 of the gateway is compatible with the 4.x release of the gateway.
Although the HTML files and gateway CGIs are not interchangeable, a 6.2 gateway
can access a 4.x Directory Server—a 6.2 gateway will be able to talk to a 4.x
Directory Server provided the AIM presence related information is turned off in
the gateway.
Note that in the 6.2 release of the gateway, the URLs have all changed. To use the
4.x HTML files with the 6.2 binaries, the files will need to be updated to use the
new URL scheme. Similarly, to use the new HTML files with the 4.x binaries, the
URLs will need to be changed to the old style in the HTML files. In addition, the
AIM presence related information will need to removed from the HTML files.
