Hello,
I’m facing a quite strange problem trying to migrate users from one system to Notes R6.0.0.
We have an OpenLDAP server including all our users and it’s schema has been extended to allow some additions that we needed.
Here is a part of the schema we have implemented in OpenLDAP
OUR ATTRIBS
attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.61 NAME ‘ourUserMarket’
EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{1024} )
attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.62 NAME ‘ourUserCountry’
EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{1024} )
OUR USER
objectClass ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.100
NAME 'ouruser'
DESC 'OUR User'
SUP inetOrgPerson
STRUCTURAL
MAY ( ourUserMarket $ ourUserCountry $ ))
Now, I created the same attributes and object in the schema.nsf database so that we can have the information from Notes once users got migrated.
Frrom the Admin client, I register new people, click on migrate and select my LDAP server and then select the people I want to migrate to Notes.
I click as well on the advanced tab and include that for the users I want to migrate the extended object “ouruser”.
I register the person and everything seems to work correctly but:
-
Once registered, I can see that the attributes in the Notes people docs (the fields ourUserMarket and ourUserCountry" contain the right values including a special character that wasn’t in the OpenLDAP server. For example: ourUserMarket field contains “Sales|” instead of “Sales”. Where does this character come from?
-
When I use an LDAP browser, I can see my new attributes in the Notes LDAP server but all the attributes have a property of “binary attribute” instead of string. Why? I can’t use the Notes LDAP with these entries as we have a lot of applications that will not work with incorrect values.
Could you please help me as we need urgently to migrate all our users to Notes R6.
Thank you very much if you could help me in resolving this issue.
Kind regards,
Marc
