Issue Guideline
Using Dot- For all parameters requiring full contexts, you can separate the names by using
Delimited or comma-delimited syntax; you must be consistent in your usage within the field.
Comma-Delimited
The OES installation routine displays all input in the comma-delimited (LDAP)
Input for All
format. However, it converts the name separators to dots when this is required by
Products
individual product components.
IMPORTANT: After the OES components are installed, be sure to follow the
conventions specified in the documentation for each product. Some contexts must
be specified using periods (.) and others using commas (,). However, eDirectory
supports names like cn=juan\.garcia.ou=users.o=novell. The period (.) inside a
name component must be escaped.
When using NDAP format (dot), you must escape all embedded dots. For
example:
When using LDAP format (commas), you must escape all embedded commas. For
example:
The installation disallows a backslash and period (\.) in the CN portion of the admin
name.
For example, these names are supported:
cn=admin.o=novell
cn=admin.o=novell\.provo
cn=admin.ou=deployment\.linux.o=novell\.provo
These names are not supported:
cn=admin\.first.o=novell
cn=admin\.root.o=novell
Before LUM-enabling users whose cn contains a period (.), you must remove the
backslash (\) from the unique_id field of the User object container.
For example, cn=juan.garcia has a unique_id attribute = juan\.garcia. Before such a
user can be LUM-enabled, the backslash (\) must be removed from the unique_id
attribute.
