Question : Identity Manager jclient error when creating user.

Hi:

We have built an OES Netware 6.5 server and installed Bundle Identity Manager (comes with OES) on it and a Microsoft 2000 server with AD.

Everything seems to work, eDir and AD communicate, but we get the following error on the Netware server when creating a user in AD:

jclient error 9010
DS error -610
Illegal_DS_Name

Any help would be appreciated.  
Thanks

Answer : Identity Manager jclient error when creating user.

As always with IDM, the best way to diagnose is to analyse the trace. In the properties for the IDM driver in eDirectory set the trace level to 5. Then from the Netware console set dstrace=on, set dstrace=+dxml, set dstrace=+dvrs, set ttf=on. Then perform the action which gives you the error. After that set ttf=off so you don't get extra pages of XML to sift through.

Copy dstrace.dbg from sys:system and print it off. I find it a lot easier to trace through them as hard copies with a bunch of different coloured highlight pens.

The Illegal_DS_Name applies as I'm sure you know to those in excess of 255 characters, and combinations of special characters. The '\' character may be followed only by a '.' or '=' or '+' or '\'. I also suspect it's prefixing the CN with the domain name for some reason. It shouldn't do; the default AD driver should strip out that information.
