3 Migration notes

3.1 Migrating from Netscape Directory Server 6.x

When migrating from Netscape Directory Server 6.11 or 6.21, you are moving from a 32-bit

architecture to the HP-UX Directory Server's 64-bit architecture. Therefore, you must use the

cross option (--cross) with the migration script. This option indicates that the migration is

across platforms.

As documented in the HP-UX Directory Server installation guide, the cross-platform migration

action takes database information exported to LDIF and imports LDIF data into the new 8.1

databases. Certain data is not migrated with cross-platform migrations, possibly causing an

adverse affect on replication. The following table lists the data that is not migrated and the impact,

if any:

Table 1 Data not migrated when using the cross option

ImpactData

The replicated topology must be in synch before starting

the migration; otherwise, consumer replicas must be

reinitialized after migration.

Replica nsState attribute

Changelogs

No effect

nsslapd-idl-switch attribute

Creates the possibility that a non-unique nsUniqueId

value could be generated. This is unlikely because of the

algorithm used for generating unique IDs.

The unique ID generator entry, cn=uniqueid

generator,cn=config

For more information on these attributes, see the HP-UX Directory Server configuration, command,

and file reference.

NOTE: If a supplier or hub is not fully synchronized with its consumers at the time of migration,

you must reinitialize all its consumers after migration.

files might not be retained. For example, legacy files with group ownership other end up

after migration with group ownership sys.

files

QXCR1000938062

If the User must change password after reset (passwordMustChange) policy is enabled,

adding new entries that contain the attributes passwordExpirationTime or

passwordAllowChangeTime will fail with an object class violation error.

QXCR1000910157

When the Administration Server is configured to use SSL (LDAP with TLS/SSL) to

communicate with the Configuration Directory Server, authenticating with the

Administration Console fails. The Administration Console cannot connect and will freeze

during initialization.
