PMDF System Manager's Guide

This section presents a sample configuration of PMDF-DIRSYNC on a unix system. The sample site is assumed to be named EXAMPLE.COM, with PMDF-DIRSYNC system sample. The directory synchronization will be between an LDAP directory, a Lotus Notes directory, and a cc:Mail directory. In this example, the IDDS directory, and the PMDF-LAN Lotus Notes and cc:Mail channels, all also run on the sample system.

Example 36-29 and Example 36-30 show channel definitions and rewrite rules that must be included into the PMDF configuration file; (usually this is performed simply by uncommenting the references in the PMDF configuration file to these generated files).

Example 36-29 Sample dirsync.chans File for sample System

sync_ldap_idds defragment idds.dirsync.sample.example.com sync_ldif_cc defragment cc.dirsync.sample.example.com sync_ln_local defragment notes.dirsync.sample.example.com sync_dirbot_local defragment master.dirsync.sample.example.com

Example 36-30 Sample dirsync.rules File for sample System

idds.dirsync.sample.example.com $U@idds.dirsync.sample.example.com cc.dirsync.sample.example.com $U@cc.dirsync.sample.example.com notes.dirsync.sample.example.com $U@notes.dirsync.sample.example.com master.dirsync.sample.example.com $U@master.dirsync.sample.example.com

Example 36-31 shows the SYNC_DIRBOT channel option file---effectively the DIRBOT work order, that informs the DIRBOT which directories to synchronize.

Example 36-31 Sample sync_dirbot_local_option File

directory_master=fred.bloggs@example.com secret=mindyourownbusiness required_directories=idds,notes,cc ! [directory=idds] cook=/pmdf/table/cook_idds.rcp|diff diff=serve serve=/pmdf/table/serve_idds.rcp|apply|dirbot@idds.sample.example.com ! [directory=notes] cook=/pmdf/table/cook_notes.rcp|diff diff=serve serve=/pmdf/table/serve_notes.rcp|apply|dirbot@notes.sample.example.com ! [directory=cc] cook=/pmdf/table/cook_cc.rcp|diff diff=serve serve=/pmdf/table/serve_cc.rcp|apply|dirbot@cc.taurus.example.com

Each of the individual channels has its own corresponding PMDF-DIRSYNC directory agent, hence its own channel with its own channel option file. The IDDS directory is handled by the SYNC_LDAP_IDDS channel, whose option file is shown in Example 36-32. The cc:Mail directory is handled by the SYNC_LDIF_CC channel, whose option file is shown in Example 36-33. The Lotus Notes directory agent is handled by the SYNC_LN_LOCAL channel, whose option file is shown in Example 36-34. The Lotus Notes directory agent also requires:

• a service definition, shown in Example 36-35, to be included in the Dispatcher configuration;
• entries in the PORT_ACCESS mapping table, as shown in Example 36-36, where such a mapping table needs to be included in the PMDF mapping file; and
• some configuration on the Lotus Notes server side, which will be discussed below in Section 36.9.2.1.)

Example 36-32 Sample sync_ldap_idds_option File

directory_master=fred.bloggs@example.com directory_robot=dirbot@dirsync.sample.example.com secret=mindyourownbusiness cookie_file=/pmdf/dirsync/idds.cookie dirname=idds ldaphost=sample.example.com password=qwertyuiop ldapuser=cn=Manager, o=example, c=nz root=o=example, c=nz ldaplimit=8

Example 36-33 Sample sync_ldif_cc_option File

dirname=a1 directory_master=fred.bloggs@example.com directory_robot=dirbot@dirbot.sample.example.com secret=mindyourownbusiness cookie_file=/pmdf/dirsync/cc.cookie slave_file=/pmdf/dirsync/ccexp.ldif slave_command=pmdf dirsync -convert cc -fnf ldif=/pmdf/dirsync/ccexp.ldif master_command=pmdf dirsync -convert ldif=/pmdf/dirsync/cc.ldif cc

Example 36-34 Sample sync_ln_local_option File

dirname=notes directory_master=fred.bloggs@example.com directory_robot=dirbot@dirbot.sample.example.com secret=mindyourownbusiness cookie_file=/pmdf/dirsync/notes.cookie notes_host=notes.example.com notes_port=9921

Example 36-35 Sample LNSYNC Service Definition for Inclusion in the Dispatcher Configuration File

[SERVICE=LNDIRSYNC] PORT=9922 IMAGE=/pmdf/bin/sync_ln_slave LOGFILE=/pmdf/log/sync_ln_slave.log MIN_PROCS=0 MAX_PROCS=1 MIN_CONNS=1 MAX_CONNS=1 PARAMETER=channel=sync_ln_local

Example 36-36 Sample Lotus Notes Directory Agent PORT_ACCESS Mapping Entries for Inclusion in the PMDF Mapping File

PORT_ACCESS ! The Lotus Notes server system is here assumed to have IP address ! 1.2.3.7 ! TCP|*|9922|1.2.3.7|* $Y TCP|*|9922|*|* $N

A cron job will also be needed to run periodically on a desired schedule, for obtaining new information from the directories. Example 36-37 shows a sample of the sort of entries which must be submitted to the cron daemon. Note that no such crontabs entries are required for the Lotus Notes directory agent; instead the scheduling for extracting information from the Lotus Notes directory is configured on the Lotus Notes server itself, as described in Section 36.9.2.1.

Example 36-37 Sample cron Entries

# Directory Synchronization cron entries 02 15 * * * pmdf run sync_ldap_idds slave > /dev/null 02 15 * * * pmdf run sync_ldif_cc slave > /dev/null

Each directory will also need its own cook and serve recipes, discussed in Section 36.9.2.3.
