This sample demonstrates use of two real LDAP connections, and both

reconciliation and LiveSync. To simplify setup, both provisioners point to the

same LDAP server, and only use different base DNs, so you can simulate use of

two directory servers with a single OpenDJ directory server, for example.

For documentation pertaining to this example see:

http://openidm.forgerock.org/doc/install-guide/index.html#more-sample6

To prepare to run the sample, download OpenDJ directory server from

http://forgerock.org/opendj.html. Install OpenDJ using QuickSetup:

* Use "password" as the password for cn=Directory Manager.

* When presented with Topology Options, be sure to choose "This server

will be part of a replication topology" to ensure the change log is set

up.

* Import samples/sample6/data/Example.ldif during installation.

* After OpenDJ installation completes, click Launch Control Panel, then

use the New Base DN... window to create ou=people,o=ad and import

samples/sample6/data/AD.ldif into the same userRoot database as

you used by default for Example.ldif.

The directory server should now show one user under dc=example,dc=com with DN,

uid=jdoe,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com, and no other entries under ou=people,o=ad.

To run the sample in OpenIDM, follow these steps.

1. Edit /path/to/openidm/samples/sample6/conf/provisioner.openicf-ad.json

to change the port from 4389 to 1389 (or other port number where OpenDJ

listens for LDAP).

2. Start OpenIDM with the configuration for sample 6.

$ cd /path/to/openidm

$ ./startup.sh -p samples/sample6

3. Run reconciliation.

$ curl --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" --request POST "http://localhost:8080/openidm/recon?_action=recon&mapping=systemLdapAccounts_managedUser"

{"reconId":"d88ca423-d5f2-4eb5-a451-a229399f92af"}

4. Check that the user was added under ou=people,o=ad.

$ cd /path/to/OpenDJ/bin

$ ./ldapsearch -p 1389 -b ou=people,o=ad "(uid=jdoe)"

dn: uid=jdoe,ou=people,o=ad

objectClass: person

objectClass: inetOrgPerson

objectClass: organizationalPerson

objectClass: top

givenName: John

description: Created for OpenIDM

uid: jdoe

cn: John Doe

sn: Doe

mail: jdoe@example.com

5. Edit samples/sample6/conf/schedule-activeSynchroniser_systemLdapAccount.json

to set "enabled" : true. LiveSync causes synchronization to happen as you

make changes.

6. Using the OpenDJ Control Panel, add a new user under

ou=People,dc=example,dc=com, and then check the result under

ou=people,o=ad.

$ ./ldapsearch -p 1389 -b ou=people,o=ad "(uid=*)" cn description

dn: uid=jdoe,ou=people,o=ad

description: Created for OpenIDM

cn: John Doe

dn: uid=bdobbs,ou=people,o=ad
