Hi All,
I have a Domino server with Directory Assistance configured. DA is configured to use and external iPlanet LDAP directory. This works fine when sending mail to individuals on the iPlanet side from Lotus Notes. But as soon as I send mail to a group adress on the iPlanet server (eg. ctnusers@wcc.ac.za) then the mail disapears into a black hole.
The Notes client says it’s send the mail but I cant trace anything in the log file that the mail was sent and the iPlanet users never receives it.
I will appreciate any help…

Just curious… when you type in the group name, then if you right-click the name and select “Show name details…” does it display a dialog that lists all the members of the group? It should.

Hi Josh,
no it does not…it only resolves the address which is ctn.users@wcc.ac.za. This email address is then linked to a dynamic ldap lookup (on iPlanet) which builds the group.
Hope this helps…

Hi Frans,
Hmmmm… Maybe try to take the Domino router out of the picture for a second. From the Domino command console, issue the following command and see if you get back all the members of the dynamic group:
load ldapsearch -h my.iplanet.server -D myiPlanetUsername -w myiPlanetPassword “(cn=ctn.users@wcc.ac.za)” dn cn members
Keep in mind I’ve never done a search for a dynamic iPlanet group before, so my filter syntax might not be quite right. Let me know what you get back.

Hi Josh,
Tried the command :
load ldapsearch -h my.iplanet.server -D myiPlanetUsername -w myiPlanetPassword “(cn=ctn.users@wcc.ac.za)” dn cn members
but it does not return anything…like it dissapears into a black hole as well.
No luck…
Thanks

Using LDAPSEARCH you’ve ruled out your Domino configuration being a problem.
I wonder if it’s actually a problem with your iPlanet server returning the members of the dynamic group then. I think you need to check out your iPlanet documentation and see if there is any setting that you need to enable to use dynamic groups successfully.
Now you’re in territory where I can no longer help you. =) Good luck with your research! I hope that if you find your answer, you’ll have time to post it as a response here so the whole community can benefit from it.
