Sun Java Communications Suite 6 on a Single Host

Work in progress banner for Comms Suite wiki.

Deployment Example: Sun Java Communications Suite 6 on a Single Host

Note

This deployment example now uses Directory Server 6.3 instead of Directory Server 6.2, which is no longer available due to database integrity problems.

This deployment example describes how to install Sun Java Communications Suite 6 software on one computer for a functioning deployment. This document is intended for any evaluator, system administrator, or installation technician who wants to install and evaluate the services delivered by these components.

Note

Installing the back-end messaging, calendar, and address book servers on the same system is not the optimal configuration, nor does it provide the best performance. This example deployment is not intended for production purposes. Use this configuration for evaluation and for training purposes only. Performance is better if you install services on separate machines.

About This Deployment Example

This section provides an overview of this deployment scenario, the hardware and software used, and the procedures you follow to install, configure, and use this deployment.

This section contains the following topics:

Installation Overview

This scenario results in a functioning deployment suited for the evaluation and testing of Sun Java Communications Suite 6. These instructions are not intended to act as a replacement for the individual component documentation, but to merely guide the evaluator through an initial installation.

What Components Are Installed?

This example guides you through installing the following Communications Suite and Java Enterprise System components:

  • Sun Java System Messaging Server 7.0
  • Sun Java System Calendar Server 6.3.1
  • Sun Java System Instant Messaging 7.3
  • Sun Java System Directory Server 6.3
  • Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1
  • Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Update 1 with HADB support
  • Sun Java System Web Server 7.0
  • Sun Java System Delegated Administrator 6.4 P1
  • Sun Java System Communications Express 6.3
  • Sun Convergence 1.0
  • All Shared Components

The example installation in this document uses the following data that you change according to your installation and test machine:

  • Domain name: comms.beta.com
  • Host name: wireless (running Solaris OS 10)
  • Fully qualified (external) host name: wireless.comms.beta.com
  • Password: adminpass used for all passwords except the amldapuser password

This example installs all of the software on a single system. Adjust host names accordingly if you install the components on multiple systems.

Recommended Ports

For convenience, this example uses a set of recommended ports. If you use different ports, be sure to make the changes consistently throughout the installation. For example, this document uses port 8800 for the Web Server admin port. If you decide to use port 3333 instead, be sure to change it everywhere 8800 occurs in the deployment example. See Table 3 for more information.

Installation Notes and Recommendations

  1. With Solaris OS 9 and 10, ftp might not work for certain accounts.

These accounts are listed in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers. Just remove the account from this list (for example, root) and you will be able to ftp as that user.

  1. Use gzip -d or gunzip to decompress the *gz files.

Expected User Input

During installation, your are prompted for various input. User input is indicated by text of the form **. The following table helps you plan for the types of information you must provide during installation.

Table 5 Information Input During Installation

User Input User Input Action
<enter> Just hit enter, but verify that the default value shown makes sense.
<sample-password> Any password, minimum of 8 characters in length, suitable for evaluation purposes. These instructions assume that anywhere <sample-password> is specified, you will enter the same value each time.
<amldapuser-password> Same criteria as <sample-password>, but must be different from <sample-password>.
<fully-qualified-hostname> For example, assuming that the host name is abc, and the domain name is demo.xyz.com, then this value would be abc.demo.xyz.com.
<full-cookie-domainname> For example, assuming that the full domain name is demo.xyz.com, then this value would be .demo.xyz.com (note the inclusion of the leading ".").

Installing the Example

This section describes how to install and configure components on a single machine for evaluation purposes. Some components are configured after installation, using component configuration tools.

Note

Unless otherwise indicated, all of the examples and instructions in this document assume that you are logged in as root.

This section contains the following topics:

Checking Installation Requirements

Before you install components, use the steps in this section to make sure the computer on which you are installing is ready.

To Check System Requirements

The computer should meet the following requirements:

  • These instructions assume all actions are performed by the root user.
  • The computer must have 2.1 GB free disk space for the zip files and zip image. Recommendation: Have the image already unzipped.

To Check DNS

Verify that DNS is running and configured properly:

  1. Make sure that the /etc/resolv.conf file has name server entries with the IP addresses of valid name servers. For example: 
    domain comms.beta.com
nameserver 192.168.100.22
nameserver 192.168.100.23
nameserver 192.168.100.24
nameserver 192.168.100.25
  2. Make sure that the /etc/hosts file has an entry for the fully qualified host name of the server. This fully qualified host name should be listed before the non fully qualified host name. For example: 
    10.1.82.52 wireless.comms.beta.com wireless loghost
  3. Make sure that the /etc/nsswitch.conf file is configured to use files first to resolve host names. The hosts line in the nsswitch.conf file should list files first in its entry: 
    hosts: files dns nis [NOTFOUND=return]
# OR (if NIS is not used)
hosts: files dns

Getting the Necessary Software

To Get the Software

  1. Get the Communications Suite, Application Server, and Identity Suite software.

Installing and Configuring Application Server, Directory Server, Access Manager, and Web Server

Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Update 1 is the primary web container used by Convergence. At the time this document was initially written, Application Server did not support Access Manager, so the recommendation was to install a separate Web Server to support Access Manager. Things have changed since then. If you want to install Convergence and Access Manager in the same web container, you must install the Application Server with HADB support (even though you do not need to enable HADB). Convergence and Access Manager do not need to be installed in the same web container, but if you want SSO to exist between Convergence and another application, you must install either Access Manager or the Access Manager SDK in the same web container as Convergence. This installation example has no need to provide SSO between Convergence and another application. Hence, it uses separate web containers for Access Manager and Convergence.

  1. Prior to installing Application Server 9.1 Update 1, check the Java version on the system. Application Server requires at least Java 1.5.0. Solaris 10 Update 4 ships with version 1.5.0_12, which is fine for Convergence. To check your version type the following command: 
    # java -version

    The shell returns results that look similar to the following:

    java version "1.5.0_12"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_12-b04, mixed mode, sharing)
  2. Create the /tmp/APPSVR91U1 directory, copy the Application Server 9.1 Update 1 bits to this directory, then launch the installer. 
    # cd /tmp/APPSVR91U1
# chmod +x *
# ./sjsas_ee-9_1_01-solaris-sparc.bin -console
  3. When prompted, press Enter to continue.
  4. Accept the License Agreement by typing yes when prompted.
    The installation script prompts for a series of options. The following table shows how to respond to the configuration options:
    Table 6 Application Server Settings
    Option [Default Value] Enter:
    Installation Directory [/opt/SUNWappserver] accept default
    Create Directory or Choose New Create Directory accept default
    Install Node Agent [yes] no
    Install High Availability Database Server [no] accept default
    Install Load Balancing Plugin [no] accept default
    Install Domain Administration Server [yes] accept default
    Install Sample Applications [yes] accept default
    Install or reuse Java 2 SDK [Install] Reuse (as long as correct version)
    Path to Java 2 SDK 5.0 or greater [/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0] accept default
    Admin User [admin] accept default
    Admin User's Password – adminpass
    Master Password for SSL Certificate — adminpass
    Admin Port [4848] accept default
    HTTP Port [8080] 80
    HTTPS Port [8181] accept default
    Enable Updatecenter client [yes] accept default
    Upgrade from previous AS version [no] accept default
  5. Start the Application Server: 
    # /opt/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
Starting Domain domain1, please wait.
Log redirected to /opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/logs/server.log.
Please enter the admin user name>admin
Please enter the admin password>adminpass
Please enter the master password>adminpass
    Note

    Directory Server 6.3 is the preferred version since the previous version (shipped with the Identity Suite 5 Update 1) had issues that could potentially cause database integrity problems. For evaluations, you could use the Directory Server 6.2 version shipped with the Identity Suite. However, this example illustrates how to install and configure Directory Server 6.3 in lieu of Directory Server 6.2.

  6. Create the /tmp/DS directory and copy the Directory Server 6.3 bits to this directory. Uncompress and untar them. Then run the installer. 
    # mkdir /tmp/DS
# cp DSEE.6.3.Solaris-Sparc-full.tar.gz /tmp/DS
# cd /tmp/DS
# gunzip DSEE.6.3.Solaris-Sparc-full.tar.gz
# tar xvf DSEE.6.3.Solaris-Sparc-full.tar
# cd DSEE_ZIP_Distribution
# ./dsee_deploy install -i /opt/SUNWdsee
  7. Press Enter to Continue when prompted.
  8. Accept the License Agreement by typing yes when prompted.
    The installation proceeds and installs the Directory Server bits in the specified location /opt/SUNWdsee.
  9. Create your Directory Server instance. 
    # mkdir /var/opt/SUNWdsee
# cd /opt/SUNWdsee/ds6/bin
# ./dsadm create -p 389 -P 636 /var/opt/SUNWdsee/dsins1
  10. Choose the Directory Manager password: adminpass
  11. Confirm the Directory Manager password: adminpass
  12. Start your Directory Server instance. 
    # ./dsadm start /var/opt/SUNWdsee/dsins1
  13. Create the root suffix o=isp by using the dsconf command:
    ./dsconf create-suffix -h hostname -p 389 o=isp
    In this example, type: 
    # ./dsconf create-suffix -h wireless -p 389 o=isp
Certificate "CN=wireless, CN=636, CN=Directory Server, O=Sun Microsystems" presented by the server is not trusted.
  14. Accept the Certificate and type adminpass as the cn=Directory Manager password. 
    Type "Y" to accept, "y" to accept just once, "n" to refuse, "d" for more : Y
Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: adminpass
  15. Create the /tmp/JIS5 directory and unzip Identity Suite bits in this directory. Then run the Java ES installer.
    Note

    This example uses Identity Suite 5 Update 1 to install only Access Manager and a Web Container, which are required components for Communications Suite. Download Identity Suite instead of the entire Java Enterprise System Suite to save on size. However, if you already have Java Enterprise System 5 Update 1, you can use that as well. The steps may differ slightly from those provided below.

    # cd java_es-5u1-identsuite
# cd Solaris_sparc
# ./installer &
  16. Click Next at the Welcome page.
  17. Accept the license.
    Note

    Earlier Solaris OS 10 versions install an earlier version of Message Queue (and possibly other software). You might need to upgrade this product prior to installing Identity Suite software. If the Java ES installer detects that your system has an earlier version of a product, it might display an option to Upgrade Existing Software. If you are presented with this option, continue with step 18 below. If you are not presented with this option, skip to step 29. If you are presented with the upgrade option, select the item to be upgraded and run the Java ES installer to upgrade the component. After the installer upgrades the component (or components), you can quit the installer then restart it to install the remaining Identity Suite components. Then repeat the the applicable previous steps.

    If you happen to be installing Identity Suite on Solaris OS 9, you can skip steps 18-28 and immediately proceed to step 29.

  18. Click the Upgrade existing software radio button and click Next to continue.
  19. Select the following products, then click Next.
    • Sun Java System Message Queue 3.7 UR1
    • All Shared Components
    • Note: Also select the checkbox for multilingual packages if desired.
  20. Click Next to upgrade shared components.
  21. The installer verifies system requirements. When done, click Next.
  22. At the "Ready to Upgrade" window, click Next.
  23. Deselect the registration checkbox, then click Install.
    The upgrade proceeds. When the installation is complete, the Installation Complete page is displayed.
  24. Click Close to exit the installer.
  25. Restart the Java ES installer to install the remaining Identity Suite components. 
    # ./installer &
  26. Click Next at the Welcome page.
  27. Accept the license.
  28. In the "Choose to Upgrade or Install" window, select the "Install new software" radio button, then click Next to continue.
  29. Select the following products, then click Next.
    • Web Server 7.0 Update 1
    • Access Manager 7.1 (Choose only the required software. You do not need the Client SDK, Distributed Auth UI, or Session Failover client.)
    • All Shared Components
    • Note: Directory Server might be selected by default. You must deselect this product since Directory Server 6.3 has already been installed. As a result, Directory Preparation Tool 6.4 is automatically deselected as well.
    • Note: Select the checkbox for multilingual packages if desired.
  30. In the dependency checking phase, it is noted that Access Manager requires Directory Server. You will be prompted to install Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 locally or use Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 installed on a remote machine. You must choose the Remote option since you do not want to overwrite your existing version of Directory Server.
  31. Some versions of Solaris require that the Java SE SDK be upgraded prior to installation. If you are prompted to upgrade the Java SE SDK, choose the default selection to automatically upgrade the SDK to the version included with the installer. Then click Next to continue.
  32. If you skipped several previous steps because you installed Solaris OS 9 or a component upgrade was not required on Solaris OS 10, you are required to upgrade the shared components now and you can click Next. If you installed Solaris OS 10 and you already upgraded the shared components when you upgraded the Message Queue component, you should have already completed this step and you can proceed to the next step.
  33. Specify Installation Directories.
    Locations:
    Access Manager: /opt (creates /opt/SUNWam)
    Web Server: /opt (creates /opt/SUNWwbsvr7)
    Web Server Instance: /var/opt/SUNWwbsvr7
  34. Accept the target directories for each product and click Next.
  35. The installer verifies system requirements. When done, click Next.
  36. Choose Configure Now, then click Next.
  37. Continue with the next procedure to choose Common and Web Server settings.

To Select Common and Web Server Settings

This installation assumes the use of Sun Java System Web Server. You can choose an alternate web container but that is beyond the scope of this document.

  1. In the Account Preferences Panel, you are asked whether or not you want to use your UserID and Password information for all administrator accounts, or if you want to provide administrator account information for each component.
    Choose the All Administrator Accounts option and type admin for the Administrator User ID and adminpass for the Administrator Password then click Next.
  2. The installation script prompts for a series of options. The following table shows how to respond to the Common and Web Server configuration options.

Table 7 Common and Web Server Settings

Option [Default Value] Enter:
Common Server Settings    
Host Name [wireless] accept default
DNS Domain Name [comms.beta.com] accept default
Host IP Address Machine IP address Verify correct address
System User [root] accept default
System Group [root] accept default
Web Server Settings    
Type of configuration [Configure Administration Instance as Server] accept default
Start servers after system startup unchecked accept default
Server Host [wireless.comms.beta.com] accept default
Admin Server SSL port [8989] accept default
Admin Server HTTP port [8800] accept default
Admin runtime user id [root] accept default
Web Server Name [wireless.comms.beta.com] accept default
HTTP Port [81] 8080
Web server runtime UNIX User ID [webservd] root (See Note below)
Document root directory [/var/opt/SUNWwbsvr7/https-wireless.comms.beta.com/docs] accept default
Note

To take advantage of Instant Messaging with Access Manager, Instant Messaging must be run as root. If you want to make use of the new IMPS feature and the httpbind gateway in Instant Messaging, Web Server must have access to the Instant Messaging configuration files and log directory. You could either run Web Server as a separate user and then manually change the permissions in the Instant Messaging directories or you could run Web Server as the same user as the Instant Messaging user, which in this case is root. In the future, the Instant Messaging configurator should perform all the necessary permission changes so that you don't need to run Web Server as root.

To Select Access Manager Settings

  • The following table shows how to respond to the Access Manager configuration options.

Table 9 Access Manager Settings

To Install the Identity Suite Software

  1. Click Install when you are satisfied with the Ready to Install list.
    Because of the number of components selected, the installation process can be lengthy.
  2. When installation is complete, the Installation Complete page is displayed. Click Close to exit the installer.

To Verify the Installation

  1. Start Web Server: 
    cd /var/opt/SUNWwbsvr7/admin-server/bin
./stopserv
./startserv
cd /var/opt/SUNWwbsvr7/https-wireless.comms.beta.com/bin
./stopserv
./startserv

    The Web Server can take a while to start.

  2. Verify that you can log in to the Access Manager console as amadmin. The URL for the Access Manager console is:
    http://fully-qualified-hostname:web-server-port/amconsole
    In this example, type:
    http://wireless.comms.beta.com:8080/amconsole
    Use amadmin and adminpass as the user ID and password.
  3. After verifying that you can log in to the Access Manager console, log out.
  4. Verify the Application Server by typing the following URL:
    http://fully-qualified-hostname
    In this example, type:
    http://wireless.comms.beta.com
  5. Proceed to Installing Communications Suite Components for instructions on how to install and configure Communications Suite components.

Uninstalling the Components

After you complete your evaluation, you can to remove the components that you installed:

  • To uninstall Communications Suite 6 components: 
    ./commpkg uninstall
  • To uninstall Identity Suite: 
    cd /var/sadm/prod/SUNWident-entsys5u1i/bin
./uninstall

Installing Communications Suite Components

Deploying Communications Suite components is a two-step process. You first install the software then you configure the individual servers.

This section contains the following topics:

Before You Begin

Before you configure the Communications Suite software, you need to create the mailsrv user and disable the sendmail process. The mailsrv user is used to configure Messaging Server.

  • Messaging Server requires a mail server user, which must exist before you can finish the installation. You can skip this step, because the group and user are created during the configuration time. However, you might want to create the mailsrv user yourself as shown below. For this installation, use the useradd command to create a user with username mailsrv and group mail. You use this ID in Step 2 in the Configuring Messaging Server section.

Type the following commands to create the user mailsrv with a user ID of 7633, a group ID of mail, and a user home directory of /export/home/mailsrv. (These commands assume that the /export/home directory already exists.)

groupadd mail
useradd -u 7633 -g mail -d /export/home/mailsrv -m mailsrv

Note: if the mailsrv user is already in use, this could be an indication that mailsrv is not a local user as required by the Messaging Server. Messaging Server requires a local user and group and not one defined in a naming service such as NIS. You should create a different user such as mailsrv2 but be sure to change the reference to that user when prompted for the mail server username.
For example,

# useradd -u 7633 -g mail -d /export/home/mailsrv2 -m mailsrv2

To Disable sendmail

  • Prior to configuring Messaging Server, use the following procedures to kill the sendmail process and prevent it from starting during bootup.
    For Solaris OS 10: 
    svcadm disable sendmail

    For Solaris OS 8 and 9:

    ps -ef | grep sendmail
kill -9 sendmail_pid
cd /etc/rc2.d
mv S88sendmail save.S88sendmail

avatar.password = "adminpass"
  7. Start the Instant Messaging server.
    For example: 
    # /opt/sun/comms/im/sbin/imadmin start
  8. Continue with the next section.

To Log in to Instant Messaging

  1. In your web browser, open a URL for Instant Messaging. The URL for Instant Messaging is:
    http://fully-qualified-hostname:port/im/en/im.jnlp
    In this example, type:
    http://wireless.comms.beta.com:8080/im/en/im.jnlp
    Note

    If you cannot log in to Instant Messaging as a user, you might need to manually add the Instant Messaging and Presence Services to the user. See To Add Services to the Lower Level Organization for more information.

Configuring Access Manager

The following procedures enable Access Manager authentication with Instant Messaging, and enable the Instant Messaging services for all users.

To Log In to Access Manager

  1. In your web browser, open a URL for the Access Manager console and log in as amadmin. The URL for the Access Manager console is:
    http://fully-qualified-hostname:port/amconsole
    In this example, type:
    http://wireless.comms.beta.com:8080/amconsole
  2. Log in as amadmin.
    The password is adminpass.


To Add Services to the Lower Level Organization
If you set your Organization DN to o=comms.beta.com,o=isp you will need to add IM and Presence services to the comms.beta.com organization. Once these services have been added to the suborg, you must add the necessary services to each user in this suborg.

Note

Previously, you created a set of users with the commadmin command. These users exist in the comms.beta.com organization. At this point, there are no Services defined for these users. You need to register the services with these users for them to be able to log in to Instant Messaging.

  1. Upon logging into the Access Manager Console, you see a view of all your organizations, including the comms.beta.com organization. Click the link to comms.beta.com.
  2. In the right pane, you see a list of General Properties. One of these properties is Domain Name. Verify the Instant Messaging domain name that you specified during the Instant Messaging configuration.
    In this example, the domain name is comms.beta.com. If the field is blank, type the domain name then click the Save button.
  3. Choose Services from the View menu in the left pane.
  4. Click the Add button.
  5. Either click the individual services to add to this organization, or click the box at the top of the list that shows two checkboxes. This selects all the services. Upon selecting all the services, click the OK button to add all the services to the suborganization.
  6. Within this same suborganization, click the properties icon next to the name of Authentication Configuration. Normally, the service instance "ldapService" will exist. If a service instance (such as ldapService") does not exist, you will need to create one. To do so, perform the following steps. Note that if the ldapService instance already exists you may skip these steps:
    • Click the New button to define a new service instance.
    • Type the Instance Name ldap1, then click the Submit button.
      The ldap1 service instance is created.
    • Click the ldap1 link.
    • Click Edit besides Authentication Configuration.
      A new window appears.
    • Click the Add button to add the LDAP module of this new ldap1 instance and select the LDAP Module Name from the pulldown menu. The Enforcement Criteria should be REQUIRED. Click OK to add the module, then click OK again to save the module properties. Then click Cancel to close the window.
      Note

      If the LDAP module name is missing in the pulldown menu, complete the next step (of assigning ldap1 to the Core service). Then exit the Access Manager console and restart Web Server. After logging into the Access Manager Console, try again to add the LDAP module and LDAP should appear.

  7. Click the properties icon next to Core, just below Authentication Modules.
    You need to select the existing ldap service instance ldapService or the newly created ldap1 service for both Administrator Authentication Configuration and Organization Authentication Configuration.
  8. Click Save.
  9. Choose Users from the View menu in the left pane.
    A list of users is presented. You need to add the services you just registered in this suborganization to each user.
  10. Click the property icon beside a user.
  11. In the right pane, open the View drop-down menu and choose Services.
    No services are listed.
  12. Click the Add button.
    A list of services appears.
  13. Click the double-checked box at the top of the list of services to add all services. Then click the OK button.
    Note

    The minimum services that you need to add to each user are the IM and Presence services. The Authentication Configuration service does not need to be added to each user but must be configured in each subdomain.

To Configure User Services
Use this procedure if you want Access Manager services to automatically be added upon user creation. This is useful if you want the Instant Messaging, Presence, and Portal services to be automatically created for each user you create through Delegated Administrator (either the command-line utility or console).

Caution

Try this on a test system first to verify that you don't have subsequent performance issues.

  1. In the Access Manager console, from within the comms.beta.com organization, select the Service Configuration tab.
  2. Click the properties icon beside Administration service.
  3. In the right pane, scroll down until you see Required Services.
  4. Add the following services by typing the name of the service in the entry box and clicking Add.
    • SunIM
    • SunPresence
  5. Add any other services you choose.
  6. Click Save.

To Configure User Services for All Users in a Given Domain

You can also configure the IM and Presence services for all users in a given domain at once by using the imadmin assign_services command, instead of manually adding the services in the Access Manager console or automatically adding the services upon user creation.

  1. Run the following commands to add IM and Presence services for all users in a given domain: 
    cd /opt/sun/comms/im/sbin
./imadmin assign_services
Please enter base DN:
o=comms.beta.com,o=isp
Assigning IM and Presence services to users under baseDN: o=comms.beta.com,o=isp ...
Done.
  2. Restart the web container. 
    cd /var/opt/SUNWwbsvr7/https-wireless.comms.beta.com/bin
./stopserv
./startserv

  7. Click Configure Now to configure Communications Express.
  8. After the configuration is complete, click Next to continue.
    The system displays a message to restart the Web Server Instance. Click OK to dismiss the message.
  9. Click Next to continue.
  10. Click Close to quit the Communications Express configurator.
  11. Enable UWC Webmail. 
    cd /opt/sun/comms/messaging64/sbin
./configutil -o local.webmail.sso.uwcenabled -v 1
./stop-msg
./start-msg
  12. Restart Web Server. 
    cd /var/opt/SUNWwbsvr7/https-wireless.comms.beta.com/bin
./stopserv
./startserv
  13. In your web browser, open a URL for Communications Express and log in as a test user. The URL for Communications Express is:
    http://fully-qualified-hostname:8080/uwc
    In this example, type:
    http://wireless.comms.beta.com:8080/uwc

Creating Additional User Accounts and Groups

This section describes how to create additional users accounts and groups. Users and groups created in this fashion work with both Communications Services products and Portal Server (if you add Portal Server to this deployment at a later date).

To Create Users and Groups

  • The following example shows how to create users using the Delegated Administrator command-line utility and also how to create a group consisting of the users created. 
    /opt/sun/comms/da/bin/commadmin user create -D admin -F Demo -l demo1 -L One -n comms.beta.com -p 8080 -w adminpass -W demo -X wireless.comms.beta.com -S mail,cal -E demo1@comms.beta.com -H wireless.comms.beta.com

/opt/sun/comms/da/bin/commadmin user create -D admin -F Demo -l demo2 -L Two -n comms.beta.com -p 8080 -w adminpass -W demo -X wireless.comms.beta.com -S mail,cal -E demo2@comms.beta.com -H wireless.comms.beta.com

/opt/sun/comms/da/bin/commadmin group create -D admin -G Demostaff -n comms.beta.com -p 8080 -w adminpass -X wireless.comms.beta.com -S mail -E Demostaff@comms.beta.com -H wireless.comms.beta.com -o calmaster -m demo1 -m demo2
    Note

    Creating groups using the Delegated Administrator command-line interface will guarantee that these groups will be recognized by Access Manager as LDAP groups that can be searched on using Instant Messenger. They can also be used to send email to the entire group.

    To Use Delegated Administrator to Create Users
    An alternative to using the Delegated Administrator command-line utility to create users is to use the Delegated Administrator console. The high-level steps to create users with Delegated Administrator console are the following:

  • Creating the user
  • Using Access Manager to add Services to those user accounts (if necessary)

Prior to using Delegated Administrator, check the resource.properties file to make sure users will be created using options consistent with your usage. Because this example uses a hosted domain scenario, you do not need to edit this file to make changes. If you do want to make changes, perform the following steps.

  1. Change to the /var/opt/sun/comms/da/WEB-INF/classes/sun/comm/cli/server/servlet directory and edit the resource.properties file.#* The default settings for servicepackage refresh rates are: 
    servicepackage-ttlhours=5
servicepackage-ttlminutes=0

    These parameters establish the time between service packages refreshes. In this demo scenario, service packages do not change very often so there is no need to refresh them every five minutes. Instead, change the rate to refresh service packages every five hours. Making this change improves Delegated Administrator performance. If you later decide to change the refresh rate to 20 hours, set servicepackage-ttlhours to 20, that is, servicepackage-ttlhours=5.

    • The default setting for calender ID type is set using the switch-caltype variable as follows: 
      switch-caltype=hosted

      The caltype can be either hosted or legacy. When caltype is set to hosted, users that are created through Delegated Administrator are created as uid@domain rather than uid.

  2. If you make any changes to the resource.properties file, restart the Web Server.
  3. The first time you use Delegated Administrator, you must add service packs to the organization that contains your users:
    • In your web browser, open the URL for Delegated Administrator.
      In this example, type:
      http://wireless.comms.beta.com:8080/da/DA/Login
      Log in as amadmin. The password is adminpass.
    • Click the check box next to comms.beta.com organization, then click the Allocate Service Package button.
      The Allocate Service Package window appears with a list of service packages organized within a set of three pages. Near the top of this list is a Compare button. To the right of this button is a button that maps the three pages into a single view.
    • Click the Single Page button.
    • Select the desired service packages then click Next.
      The earth, mars, mercury, and venus choices are appropriate for this example, since they have mail and calendar services enabled. Each service package has a different mail quota.
    • Accept the Mail Service defaults, then click Next.
    • If you chose a service package that contains Calendar, type the Calendar Host wireless.comms.beta.com and Yes for Anonymous Login. Then click Next.
    • Select the quantity of each service pack desired then click Next.
      A quantity of 100 is appropriate for this example.
    • Review your choices and click Finish to create the service packages.
      Once the service packs have been allocated for the domain, you can add users to the domain.
    • Click the domain link. That is, click comms.beta.com.
    • Click the New button to create a new user within this domain.
    • Type a First Name (such as Demo), a Last Name (such as Five), a Display Name (such as Demo Five), then click Next.
    • You do not need to type postal information. Click Next again.
    • Select a service pack for this user, for example, earth, then click Next.
    • Type the email address, for example, demo5@comms.beta.com. The Mail Delivery Option should be Local Inbox. Leave the remaining fields blank then click Next.
    • Choose your calendar preferences, select your preferred timezone, then click Next.
    • Type the Login ID and Password then click Next.
      In this example, Login ID is demo5 and password is demo.
    • Verify the user information then click Finish to create the user.
  4. Log in to Access Manager as amadmin and verify that the IM and Presence services have been added to the newly created user.
    If not, you will need to assign services to those users as explained in To Add Services to the Lower Level Organization.

    The communication express is not on the scope of this document, but it could be a good idea, meanwhile communication center its not launched, to say that we can use the "COMM 5 Single host doc" to install it and configure it. With a link to the doc on docs.sun.com. What do you think?

      Hirva,

      Your idea is not in the scope of this document. There are too many differences now between the old doc for Communications Suite 5 and this new one for Communications Suite 6 to just link to the old doc.

      If you take exactly the same defaults as specified in the Communications Suite 5 doc you will get an unusable deployment. For instance in R5 the messaging port was 8080 but now in R6 it is 2080. Mixing parts of R5 into R6 instructions verbatim will cause problems.

    Directory Server version as installed by JES5u1 is 6.2, not 6.0

    Also, i don't think this statement is true : "Currently, Application Server 9.1 Update 1 does not support Access Manager."

    This can be removed as QA has successfully deployed, and tested with, Access Manager in App Srvr 9.1u1.

    Hi,
    Now Comunication center its part of the beta, and the way to install it talk about a icw.zip file that it doesnt exist. All the software can be find at /opt/sun/comms/iwc.

    The comment  http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Communication+Center+1.0+Initial+Configurationhttp://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Communication+Center+1.0+Initial+Configuration(http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Communication+Center+1.0+Initial+Configuration) applies as well to this document.

    This line:

    cd /opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-modules/iwc/WEB-INF/config

    Is actually /opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-modules/Communication_Center/WEB-INF/config
    This location is not available/created until after you run /opt/sun/comms/iwc/sbin/init-config to configure the IWC instance

    Are the manual editing directions for configuration.xml, credentials.xml, and httpbind.conf still
    valid as it seems that init-config takes care of this?

    This section:

    Edit the /opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/config/domain.xml

    What impact/guideline is there for setting acceptor-threads from 1 to 2 (i.e. CPU, core, something else, etc)?

    Also, the item mentions Comet support (not sure what this is):

    SKIP THIS COMETSUPPORT STEP UNTIL the APPSERVER ISSUE is RESOLVED.{color}
Also to this same http-listener block add the folowing line just before the end tag:
{noformat:nopanel=true}
</http-listener>
   <property name="cometSupport" value="true"/>

     Is this item still valid (is it needed? is it not needed? what app server issue is it referencing and is it resolved?)

    The single user guide lists not checking Deploy IM Http Gateway and Deploy IM IMPS Gateway in the IM configure script options table. 

    Under what circumstances would someone want to check these options, particularly the IM IMPS Gateway as this appears to be something new to JCS 6?

        A. Comet is a technology to provide scalability for the IM service.

        Q. What impact/guideline is there for setting acceptor-threads from 1 to 2 (i.e. CPU, core, something else, etc)?
        


        A. Per a Comms engineer:
        
"I set the acceptor-threads to 2. My deployment doesn't check the HTTP gateway because I am using Communication Center in my deployment so there is no need for it because Communication Center deploys a gateway. You could choose to deploy the IM IMPS gateway if you wanted to enable mobile IM clients (running on IMPS capable phones) to communicate to our IM server. You would enable this if you wanted to evaluate this feature and your server was accessible from the open Internet. If your server is not on the open Internet, you could use phone simulators to evaluate this feature. In the future, it is very possible that we will change the procedure to enable IMPS in this single host doc.

    The IM Server configuration table is missing an element:
    


    Deploy Messenger Resources - checked accept default
    
Codebase - http://wireless.comms.beta.com:8080/im
    
Web Administration URL - https://wireless.comms.beta.com:8989/
    


    Should include Webcontainer Path /opt/SUNWwbsvr7 between Codebase and Web Administration URL
    


    By default my installation shows /usr which causes IM to not deploy to JWS (no obvious errors are thrown on this).
    


    The workaround is to either set Webcontainer Path (or pay attention, ha!) to the root of your JWS binary installation (/opt/SUNWwbsvr7 by default) or manually point JWS at IM:
    


      
	
    • http://yourJWShost:8800
      • 
	
    • login as JWS admin user
      • 
	
    • On the right hand side of the screen choose 'Add Web Application'
      • 
	
    • The path will be /opt/sun/comms/im/html
      • 
	
    • The URI will be /im
      • 
	
    • Click OK
      • 
	
    • Deploy via the link on the upper right hand side of the screen next to the Java icon
      • 
	
    • Click Deploy
      •

    This is a procedural clarification question/comment with regard to 'Configuring Access Manager' with respect to IM Server.
    


    I ran into this particular issue because I'm not sure I understand the usage case for imadmin assign_services versus 'To Add Services to the Lower Level Organization'.
    


    In a new installation I may have o=isp and o=comms.beta.com,o=isp
    


    Is it correct to say that one uses the imadmin assign_services method when the following is true:
    


      
	
    • Users are already in the LDAP directory and we with to give them the ability to use IM Server
      • 

    



      
	
    • We are not concerned with allowing future newly created users the same rights necessarily (i.e. no Delegated Administration connection to allow this to automatically happen)
      • 

    



    The procedure under 'To Add Services to the Lower Level Organization' seems to be used for the following:
    


      
	
    • Users are not already in the LDAP directory (i.e. a new installation)
      • 

    



      
	
    • We want new users added via Delegated Administrator to inherit the ability to use IM automatically
      • 

    



    If a user runs both procedures an error may be generated when setting up and configuring Communication Center using init-config:
    


    dn: o=isp
    
sunPreferredDomain:comms.beta.com
    


    This is created when using the 'To Add Services to the Lower Level Organization' directions and after imadmin assign_services has already been used
    


    dn: o=comms.beta.com,o=isp
    
sunPreferredDomain:comms.beta.com
    


    Probably created using imadmin assign_services, possibly by an earlier JCS component such as Calendar or Messaging Server
    


    The former item (o=isp level) can cause an error where a user is not able to login to the mshttpd process on the Messaging Server when running init-config to configure Communication Center.
    


    This is true even though mshttpd is running on the Messaging Server and the user has provided the correct credentials.
    


    The fix is to remove sunPreferredDomain from the o=isp level and then run init-config again.

    Directory Server 6.2 has a pretty significant database corruption bug. You don't even know you have it until you shutdown and start backup again. Backups are also corrupted.
    


    DS 6.3 fixes the issue the corruption problem.
    


    So is COMs 6 shipping with 6.2 or 6.3?
    


    It might be a good idea to change 6.2 docs to 6.3.

      I'm working on a Comms multi-host deployment example right now with one of our SMEs. This will be available in the near future. We have SSL as a "nice to have" for that doc. Will see if we can get it in.

        I'm looking forward to the multihost example. Our company of 500 employees are going to be deploying COMs.
        


        It looks like we are going to deploy it in the following way.
        


        Front End Server
        


        App Server
        
Convergence
        
Mail Sever
        



        Calendar server
        
Messaging Server
        
Directory Proxy Server
        
BackEnd Server
        



        Directory Server (Already exists for us)
        
Delegated Administrator Server
        
We may deploy another webserver on our DMZ for external access.
        


        My head is spinning thinking of all the SSL/TLS that will need to be setup.

    If your "intranet" sitting behind a DMZ is sufficiently secure, you may consider placing Convergence in "DMZ" (as well as your web server) and the communications between Convergence and other servers do not use SSL. This could reduce your configuration and maintenance chores
    
greatly. The load balancers can also offload SSL improving the performance dramatically. The Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.3 Deployment Planning Guide is a good source of other ideas on
    
Security hardening.

    Like the article, could have done with this when I setup JCS 5. 
    


    Having a problem accessing the Access Manger console (http://myserver.com:8080/amconsole). The application server works, and the webserver works, both 'admin-server' and 'https-myserver.com' start with no errors but the console will not display. I have followed the guide as closely as possible (using dsee 6.3). I wonder if it's because I'm running on SXCE (build 94), although I've had no errors during install.
    


    My other question is, is it possible to deploy JCS on a single host whilst allowing the webserver to run on port 80? I had JCS 5 working with comms express and still able to put my own website on port 80. Haven't got this solution working yet but it appears application server is using port 80 instead.

      This article is actually based on the Comm-Suite-5 single-host-install guide (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-0086) which in turn was based on the JES4 single host install guide (http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/819-4879/819-4879.pdf).

      Solaris Express is definitely not a supported (nor tested) OS for Communication Suite 6. Please re-attempt your installation on Solaris 10 update 4 or 5 and see if the problem persists.
      


      >> My other question is, is it possible to deploy JCS on a single host whilst allowing the

      Yes this is possible. You would need to modify the relevant port configurations in the guide to match.

      Application Server is used for end-user web-client access (Convergence) therefore it was configured to use the most convenient port for this role (80). Future revisions of this guide may in fact do away entirely with webserver and instead use Application Server only.

        Didn't know that there was a JCS5 single host guide, must have been harder to find before. At least it's on the download page now so no excuses for not finding it now. 
        


        I have managed to get it all installed now and convergence is AWESOME! Only problem is, the instant messaging doesn't load into convergence, it works by itself (http://www.example.com/im) but in convergence the Buddy List stays at "Connecting..." and firefox status bar reads "Waiting for www.example.com". I have been extremely careful to follow the guide exactly, even re-installed the suite from scratch, still the same. Strange thing is that on my original install attempt it did work at one point but no settings were changed. It was just after I added a contact to buddy list and had the contact approve it. Not managed to get convergence IM panel working since.
        


        Further feedback: these products are great but damn hard to install and setup. I wish for an easier (bundled) installer for JCS 6, with DSEE6.3 and other updates better integrated. I currently have two cacao SMF's, one is disabled, it all works (except convergence IM) but is at least a bit disconcerting.

          re: your IM problem, wonder if this could be the issue, which we know is an issue with the VMware image:

          Understood that Comms is not the most friendly in terms of initial install/config. I think we're looking at an easier way to get an eval deployment up and running. The VMware image might be useful in this respect as well, if you haven't seen it:

            I have also changed the httpbind and avatar passwords in httpbind.conf (/opt/sun/comms/iwc/config/httpbind.conf) to be clear text instead of the encrypted ones that where filled in by installation scripts. They now match exactly.
            


            I think this is where my problem lies, output from httpbind log (/var/opt/sun/comms/iwc/logs/httpbind.log):

[14 Aug 2008 23:17:31,697] ERROR httpbind [main] Error opening stream to server: www.example.com : 5222
            



            I can telnet 5222 so I know it's running, but which web.xml is "Missing native library key". I can't find anything in google regarding "httpbind.library.checkpermission" and the following command (searches for the string in all web.xml files) returns nothing:
            


            #for i in `find / -name web.xml`; do cat $i | grep httpbind.library.checkpermission; done
            


            Is there a good troubleshooting resource? What about a good forum to post help regarding convergence issues?

                I'm still having problems with IM in convergence. I've changed the port in httpbind.conf to 5269 and I get the same error in httpbind.log.
                


                IM works fine by itself, just a convergence issue, constant "Connecting..." in the IM side panel.
                


                Below are the logs httpbind.log and xmppd.log.
                


                Any help is much appreciated.

                  OK, I got it fixed. Everything now seems to work well. I forced enterprise system components to use Java SE 1.6.0 like this:
                  


                  

                  ln -s /usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.6.0 /usr/jdk/entsys-j2se

                  

                  


                  To be honest I've hacked the installation a bit to get it working on SXCE (build 95) on my test server. I know it's not supported but I don't need support on my test server. Once I've suitably impressed the right people (AKA my bosses) I have every intention of sticking it on Sun server with Solaris 10. The reason I insist on SXCE for testing is that it has latest ZFS and I want to make use of it's exiting new features.
                  


                  Unfortunately zfs on Solaris 10 and SXCE are incompatable. SXCE has quite a lot of new features/ improvements.
                  


                  When will the Sun Java System be supported on OpenSolaris, IPS is the way to go, is Solaris 11 coming anytime soon?
                  


                  You can pass the info on to the dev team that it works great under SXCE, I just had to:
                  


                  1.) Trick latest Cacao package version into thinking it was older one (JES5u1 installation)
                  
2.) Create links to ldapsearch (and possibly others in same bin folder) after installing DSEE 6.3 using this command: #for i in `find /opt/SUNWdsee/dsrk6/bin -type f -print`; do ln -s $i /opt/SUNWdsee/dsee6/bin; done
                  
3.) After installation, force use of JDK1.6.0 as mentioned above.

                                        I have always found this to be confusing.

For example:

      I have always found this to be confusing.
      


      For example:
      


      

      httpbind.jid = "hostname1.httpbind.your.domain"
httpbind.password = "foobar"
avatar.jid = "hostname1.httpbind.your.domain"
avatar.password = "foobar"

      

      


      The JID is arbitrary in that it is not a DNS name but a string that you assign so that IM can talk to Convergence.
      


      By the same token, the JID password is also arbitrary, however, the value needs to match up with what you will tell Convergence as you configure it.

On the page, Completing the Sun Convergence Installation: Initial Configuration, have a look at the section, Configure IM Components to Enable Communication with the Instant Messaging Server. In particular, look at the heading, About the Httpbind Component JID and Avatar Component JID.
    


    Hope this helps.

    I'm getting the following error when installing SUN IM:

The install log also gives:

    It's possible that it's already registered since this is the 2nd time I installed IM. How can I check that?

    Hi Karl,
    
       Was your AM server up and running while you ran IM configurator,if your AM server is not up you will get the "Registering services with access Manager..failed" message
    


    To check if services are already assigned,You can login to amconsole,select the organization,select Services from View drop down list and check if the "Instant Messaging Service" and "Presence Service" is assigned.

      I don't see the "Instant Messaging Service" and "Presence Service" in AM. ./configure dums this to the console:
      
exist exception - AdminTokenAction:  FATAL ERROR: Cannot obtain Application SSO token.
      
Check AMConfig.properties for the following properties
      
        com.sun.identity.agents.app.username
      
        com.iplanet.am.service.password

Check AMConfig.properties for the following properties

        com.sun.identity.agents.app.username
      
        com.iplanet.am.service.password
      


      As far as i understand, the AM server runs on top of SUN Webserver 7.0.
      


      Also, the SUNIM configure didn't ask me for AM credentials. Which seems odd to me.

        Our one of our IM experts suggests the following:
        
1. The httpbind.library.checkpermission error can be ignored, it does not affect functionality.
        
2. It may be better to have httpbind configured to connect to the IM server directly on port 5269, rather than the IM multiplexor on port 5222.
        
3. Providing relevant snippets of xmppd.log would help.
        
4. Is IM working at all? Is it possible to connect using any other client (other than convergence)?

    Yes you are right amserver runs in your web container.
    
SUNIM configure does not ask for AM credentials,it asks your Directory Server credentials through which it can talk to AM.
    
I hope you have installed AM,DS and IM on the same machine,if not if you have remote AM server you need to have AM SDK installed on the machine where IM is installed.
    
Was your web container running while you ran IM configurator ?

                                        AM, DS and IM are on the same machine. The web container was running.

DS is run...
                
      
                
      
                    
      
                        
      AM, DS and IM are on the same machine. The web container was running.
      


      DS is running on port 1389. I wonder if the AM portion of the configure is hard coded to use 389 even though I specified 1389.

      Per one of our Calendar experts: "This config specifies the language directory to be used for mail format files for event notification etc. The default is "en", but you can change this config to use another language that is present in config directory."

    Step 15 mentions to install "java_es-5u1-identsuite"
    


    That files does NOT exist anymore. The available option is the above but sadly has a very buggy installer:

      Are you looking for the Identity Suite zip file? You need to get it from the Identity download site, not the Comms download site. The Identity download site is at:
      


      The http://www.sun.com/software/products/identity/offerings.jsp site
      


      One you get the zip file, "java_es-5-identsuite-ga-solaris-sparc.zip" and unzip you should have a directory that says "java_es-5u1-identsuite".

      One of the first questions during the messaging server configuration is the directory to store the data and config files. By default this is /var/opt/sun/comms/messaging64 or /var/opt/sun/comms/messaging (depending on if you are using 32-bit or 64-bit versions).  If you prefer an alternate location, you would enter your preferred directory path at this time.

So there must be some mis-configuration going on.

          The usual cause of the mail tab not appearing in CE is when local.webmail.sso.uwcenabled has not been set to 1. It sounds like you have this correct but double-check to be sure.
          


          Next, enable CE logging and then check the uwc.log file for any mail related error messages. Also, check the Messaging Server http.log file to see whether there is any errors there. For example, see if you have any admin username/password setting errors.

    Hi everybody at Comms Community,
    


    I hope, here is the right place to place this record. If not, I´ll be happy to get tips.
    


    We are a small group of individuals (Java developer, Internet and Linux specialist), located in Germany.
    
Our decision is to learn Comms (by use of Sun online resources) and deploy it  to 2 small  organizations (a NPO and a non-profit high school,  with 20 / 50 system-users). Then we will  establish an IT company to perform professionally medium-sized deployment of Comms (up to 200  system-users) incl. training and support.
    
In further step  we will develop a new Comms´s service (for fixed and mobile clients), integrated with Convergence, which can reach broad range of organizations.
    


    I ´m well aware, that all these tasks are not easy but we already started the work.
    


    *                                                                               **
    



    Since 3 days I´m busy with the Comms wiki and product homepage at SDN to locate resources and information, necessary for learning and first test-deployment using Single Host deployment on Solaris 10 / X64 platform. So I got some questions and need your help to go on.
    


    About Solaris OS: (We are very new to Solaris but will use it instead Red Hat Linux)
    


    1.- Solaris 10 Update 4: Where to download it ? (if it is not the same as Solaris 10 10/08)
    


    2.- Do we have to pay license for Solaris? We want to use a free Solaris binary distribution.
    


    3.- For Test-Installation: Single Host deployment on Solaris 10 / X64 vs. Solaris 10 / Sparc platform: Any difference  between  them? What is to care?
    


    Others
    
4.- Does Application Server 9.1 U1 have an integrated Java System Web Server inside?
    


    5.- What is NSS?, Where can I read about it?
    


    We will contribute the result of our deployment to community, make it easier to newcomer to get started with this very valuable software system.
    


    Thank you in advance,

      1.- Solaris 10 Update 4: Where to download it ? (if it is not the same as Solaris 10 10/08)
      


      You can use any Solaris 10 Update 4 or later.  Solaris 10 10/08 is Update 6 which is perfectly fine to use.
      


      2.- Do we have to pay license for Solaris? We want to use a free Solaris binary distribution.
      


      Sorry, can't say for Solaris.
      


      3.- For Test-Installation: Single Host deployment on Solaris 10 / X64 vs. Solaris 10 / Sparc platform: Any difference between them? What is to care?
      


      There should be no difference in the operation of Comms Suite between x86 and SPARC platforms. The only differences are the names of certain binaries and zip files.
      


      4.- Does Application Server 9.1 U1 have an integrated Java System Web Server inside?
      


      The Application Server has an integrated web container but it is not the same as the Sun Java System Web Server.
      


      5.- What is NSS?, Where can I read about it?
      


      NSS  – Network Security Services.  A set of libraries for client and server security developed by Netscape.  You can read more about it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Security_Services

        Hello Joe,
        


        Thank you for help.
        


        The first deployment of comms 6 on Solaris 10 Update 4 (X64 platform) is done and works, but not completely.
        
I was not able to install the Convergence,  because comm-installer asks for a newer version of comm_dssetup.pl. I downloaded it via Solaris Update service, but not able to install it (because of failed verification of signature). Also I must learn more about Solaris. That is what I will do during next time. 
        
Than remove completely comms and other required software products (AS, DS, AM and Web server) and try again. 
        
As you mentioned, I feel, it´s better to use the Solaris 10 update 6 (10/08).

        Hi Joe,
        


        I installed Solaris 10 Update 6 (10/08) and comms 6 on a no-name PC with 2 GB RAM and AMD dual CPU  and it runs perfectly. All services are available now. 
        
Im using different domain and host name as those used in single host deployment.
        


        For initial tests I used 2 clients driven by Solaris and Win XP, having UK and Germany as set locale respectively. Convergence automatically detects the set locale of  native platform and configure itself correctly. Great!
        
The  comms is really a pretty suite.
        


        Thank you to Sun and comms commu.

      It's probably worth me mentioning that I didn't follow the directory suffix creation exactly as in the example - instead I created a differently named suffix and imported our old directory data into it.

        The name of the directory suffix shouldn't matter, but the new name must be substituted consistently whereever it shows o=isp. So you should double-check that throughout. Also, the default Application Server port is 8080 and the Web Server port is also 8080.  If you did not set the Application Server port to 80, you will certainly run into problems when starting Web Server.
        


        Stop Application Server and then start Web Server and see if the problem goes away.  If it does, that means both services are using the same port.

    At the install Identity Suite step, and also if you try it with java enterprise suite, it is impossible to complete the installer with out installing the outdated version of the directory server and the outdated version of the application server even when selecting the remote option. The validating phase fails and there is no apparent way to circumvent it.

    Excellent guide, I already have Java Communications Suite 6 Working (of course with the help of this guide ), but, I have a Leak Memory problems with imapd process.
    
I have the server with 30 imapd process, 30 mshttpd process, and 30 pop process running to balance the load of the users.
    
All work fine when I access via browser(Chrome,Firefox), too when I access it with the traditional clients IMAP (Outlook, ThunderBird,etc).
    


    The problem is that if one user want to copy(no t just view) locally all your emails, the imapd process eat more than 3GB of RAM and the system is getting slower.
    
The solution is:
    

      
	
    1. kill -9 <PID_imapd>
      
I think that this problem is a bug but I dont know what is the patch.
      
May you help me? Any idea?
      2. 

    



    My system is:
    
A X2100 with one socket AMD Opteron 2600Mhz, 8GB RAM, 2 x disks 750GB in mirror with Solaris Volume Manager, Soalris 10 HW 10/08.
    



    Thanks.

    Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I have now everything up and running. But there's this small thing. When I log into Convergence, I have this Buddy list on the right side and it just says "connecting...". Here's a screenshot: http://tmp.valiyev.net/convergence.png
    


    I have tested IM by running the java client and it worked. Do you know how I can fix this?

    Hi!
    
I have installed the whole communicator with convergence everything OK! Have worked for few weeks No problem except the avatar picture would not upload.  
    
I have patched the convergenge with patch 137632-03.
    
The Problem: login with userid@domainame does not connect to IM from convergence thru httpbind. If I connect with userid without domainame with a user from default domain everything works fine I can use IM from covergence and Im even upload the avatar picture. 
    
I have checked the xmmp.log in IM and it says "ERROR Exception occured while checking for required services for user userid @domainame" notice the \ is there between the userid space \ @domainname
    
The convergence is on v20z the IM, Messaging Server and all the others on a v480. It uses AM.
    
Thanks

    Hi! 
    
I just found a few document talking about install amserver on the application server 9.1
    
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-3043/6nejrv3m2?a=view
    
Is possible to install all deployment of soft on Application server 9.1 instead of use webserv and appserver?
    
If the answer is yes, when would it affect this doc?

      I think the answer will depend on Delegated Administrator. DA and Access Manager have to be in the same container. If DA can live in a SJAS container then I think one could do without Java Web Server since other components like Access Manager, Convergence, etc can already use SJAS.
      


      It would be interesting to know the answer to this question.

        In the future, we'd like to update this Solaris example to just use App Svr as the web container.

            I couldnt get it. The software installation is looking AS 8.1 and the PATH of it. If you try to do a configuration with "Configure Later" and the changing PATHs on silent installation file, you can cheat a bite the software but finally I just get a java exception fault.
            
So I give up... but its not a comm suite prob its a amserver one.

              Solaris 10 ships with AS 8.1 installed by default. If you uninstall it you will be good to go without messing with the silent install files as the pathing will be correct (i.e. you will be using the SJAS 9.1 binaries rather than a mix of SJAS 8.1 and 9.1 binaries).
              


              Assuming here that you are not using SJAS 8.1 for anything...
              


              On my host this meant removing the following packages before installing SJAS 9.1:

                Hi Nate, 
                
Yes I saw it, but I didnt uninstall it. I just installed the 9.1u2 one and then in the graphics installation of Access Manager didn't talk about AS9.1. I try to follow the installation in others containers, and I get a fault like "Incomplete Application Server Installation Found". So I tried by a configuration later one (no graphics).
                
And is what I was talking on my last report. All file of silent install was oriented to AS8.1, so I used the same versus the AS9.1. I get the deploy what with a lot of java exceptions...

Because finally I decided to carry on with two web container application (AS y WB) like in this example for this deployment. 
                    
I uninstalled everything using manual, and then I tried again with the 2 web containers. Access Manager was impossible to be deploy even in a WB following all steps. Right now I´m reinstalling the OS because it leave something on the system I coundt found

The package "mercury" disables IMAP!
    
My understanding it was that enables IMAPS and IMAP is not the case
    
Anyway I have assigned "earth" and works OK 
    
So if you encounter this error watch the IMAP disable
    
Thanks!

    Hi Guys
    


    for the last 2 months I've been trying to making work the IM in the convergence Interface, it keeps saying "connecting..." for all domains except the default domain, it works fine for ALL domains if I use the client im.jnlp..
    


    I have solaris 10 x86 completely patched +  Communications Suite 6 update 1 what I am doing to create the domain is:
    


    Create domain
    
1. /opt/sun/comms/da/bin/commadmin domain create -D admin -w xxx-d xxxx.com -n xxxx.com
    


    Assign mail & cal  servcices to the domain
    
2. /opt/sun/comms/da/bin/commadmin domain modify -D admin -w xxx-n xxxx.com  -d xxxxx.com -S mail,cal -H xxxxx.com
    


    Create a user for that domain
    
3./opt/sun/comms/da/bin/commadmin user create -D admin -n xxxxx.com  -l ktest -d xxxxxx.com  -p 80 -w xxxxxx -X xxxxx.com -S mail,cal  -H xxxx.com
    


    4. run the following command
    
/opt/sun/comms/im/sbin/imadmin assign_services
    
dn= o=xxxxx.com,dc=xxxx,dc=com
    


    5. to make sure I login into the AM to verify the user has the "Instant Messaging Service" and "Presence Service"  services assigned
    


    6. my iim.conf has the following values
    
iim_server.default_domains=defaultdomain.com domain1.com domain2.com
    
iim_server.usesso = "0"
    
iim.policy.modules = "identity"
    
iim.userprops.store = "ldap"
    
iim_server.components = "agent-calendar,httpbind,avatar"
    
iim_agent.enable = "true"
    


    ........
    


    7. my httpbind.conf has
    


    httpbind.config=default
    
default.domains=defaultdomain.com domain1.com domain2.com
    
default.hosts=xxxxxx.com:5269
    
default.componentjid=httpbind.xxxxx.com
    
default.password=xxxxx
    
httpbind.log4j.config=/etc/opt/SUNWiim/default/config/httpbind_log4j.conf
    



    all that is done without problem, when I login in convergence I have the calendar, mail, address book, but the IM keep saying "connecting..." and this stays like that forever
    


    my AS + AM + Convergence + DA are in the same server
    



    what else can i do ? PLEASE I NEED HELP THIS IS KILLING ME

    Hi joesciallo,
    


    yes I tried that
    


    1.
    


    bash-3.00# ./imadmin assign_services
    
Please enter base DN: o=xxx.com,dc=xxx,dc=com
    


    default.domains
    
default.domains=example.com, example2.com
    


    using the *.jnlp files works great for all of the domains, but when using convergence only the default domain and actually a second is also workign but when i create a third one , the third one doesn't work...to be honest I create the second one a while ago so i dont remerber the exact step i did
    


    is there another config file other than iim.conf and httpbind.conf that i need to change ?
    


    the logs don't give any error
    


    thanks a lot

    dc=xxxx,dc=com
    
o=domian1
    
   ou=groups
    
   ou=people
    
   ou=services
    
o=domian2
    
   ou=groups
    
   ou=people
    
   ou=services
    
o=domian3
    
   ou=groups
    
   ou=people
    
   ou=services
    


    I will try the Sun Messaging Server forum !!

                                        Hi guys,

Do you know how we can make work IM Convergence using "alias domain"

...
                
    
                
    
                    
    
                        
    Hi guys,
    


    Do you know how we can make work IM Convergence using "alias domain"
    


    if I use the main domain, it works fine but if I use one of the alias domain of the main domain IM Convergence keep saying "connecting"
    


    I already changes the iim.conf and the httpbind.conf files to include the main and alias domains...
    


    any ideas ?
