[SUMMARY]: SUN ONE LDAP 5.2 and SUN Cluster 3.1

Hi again,

and thanks to Gregory Shaw [shawga@unix.stortek.com] and especially to
Pavlos Parissis [PParissi@athens2004.com] for their helpful hints!
Finally we got it working, it seems that the old version of the LDAP cluster
agent (SUNW.nsldap) does not work with LDAP 5.2 (thanks, Pavlos, for this
tip!).
The new agents (SUNW.asha for the admin- and SUNW.dsha for the directory
server) are not part of the SUN cluster distribution, they can be found in
the SUN ONE Directory Server package (NOT in the .tar.gz, only in the
pkg-File).
Unfortunately, we were also unable to install the LDAP Server using the
packages due to some missing entries in a bundled lib...

Finally we did the following to get it working: (Quite a long way, :-) )

- Downloaded the pkg-File for the LDAP, and installed the packages including
SUNW.asha and SUNW.dsha according to SUN Docu
- WITHOUT configuring the server using '/usr/sbin/directoryserver
configure', installed the LDAP-server in the global share using the
old-fashioned shell setup script out of the .tar.gz.
- Created the resources and integrated the LDAP Directory- and Admin-server
into the cluster using the SUNW.asha and SUNW.dsha resourcetypes

Puh... That did the trick.
I'm sure there MUST be an easier way to do it, but I'm not going to try it
again, :-)

Many thanks to the list, and to all other who replied,

Harald
