    (Distinguished Names)
    ---------------------
    
    Distinguished Names typically would not include ADMD and PRMD
    components, in fact the default X.500 schema probably wouldn't allow
    them. A and P are X.400 domain concepts and would form part of an O/R
    address (this is the mail address and should not be confused with DN).
    
    A DN is typically a hierarchy of elements chosen from the following:
    
        C  O  OU  L  CN
    
    The advice usually given is to make the hierarchy as flat as possible.
    Levels in the hierarchy should only be introduced for (X.500)
    management domain reasons. (That's a gross simplification).
    
    So, your simplified DN for the ALL-IN-1 User Agent entry would be
    something like:
    
    /C=BR/O=EMBRATEL/CN=ALL-IN-1_nodename
    
    and users could be something like:
    
    /C=BR/O=EMBRATEL/OU=Strings/CN=Alirio Diaz
    
    (Search Bases)
    --------------
    
    There is no problem with local and global being the same. This will
    probably be true of several sites. Local should contain all users on
    that ALL-IN-1 system. So, as you say, it probably needs to include all
    OUs.

    M�rcia,
    
    As you're probably aware, you'll have to plan your X.400 O/R Addresses
    aswell as your X.500 DNs. 
    
    As you intend to connect your Mailbus 400 MTA to the outside world via
    the EMBRATEL ADMD then you should use O/R Addresses that include that
    domain; to save the effort of changing all your O/R Addresses when you
    do eventually connect.
    
    Your O/R Addresses will thus be something like,
    
    	c=br;a=embratel;p=ebt;o=embratel;cn=marcia abreu
    
    depending upon whether or not you decide to include any org units.

Hi,

  I was trying to create the distinguished name but it says that , an error is 
shown because there is no superior entries. 

  I 'm using this : 

   /C=br/o=embratel/cn=ALL-IN-1_nodename

  I tried to use DXIM to create /C=BR/o=embratel but DXIM is not available . 

  What is missing ? 

  Thanks .. Marcia

        Probably X.500 is missing.  Did you try DXIM/INTERFACE=CHARACTER
        just to be sure?
        
        Dave Zaniewski

Hi,

   Yes, I tried DXIM/Interface=character_cell.

   And X.500 is not missing because I ran again @sys$startup:DXD$DSA_CONFIGURE and after that 
I created and enabled the DSA , created the dsa naming context and ran @sys$startup:DUA_CONFIGURE. 

   If I use ncl , I can see it running. 

   Any ideas ? 

   Thanks .. Marcia

    What exactly did you mean by "not available"? Error message? Image not
    found?
    
    Dick

Hi Dick,

    The DXIM problem was solved , I reinstalled X.500 and DXIM is 
available.

    My problem right now is that I can't create the distinguished name 
(option: SM MXD MAE) because  ALL-IN-1 returns me the following message:

    "You must enter a value whose superior entries already exist"

   I tried to create the following Distinguished name :

     /C=BR/O=EBT/CN=ALL-IN-1_nodename

   So, I guessed that maybe I should have to create an entry using DXIM, 
then I tried the following :

 
DXIM> create entry /C=BR/O=EBT  attributes objectClass=organization

But DXIM returns me an error:

DSA error: No such entry exists. 
Matched the following part of the entry name '/'.

Any ideas .. what can I do to be able to create succesfully the 
distinguished name ? 

  Thanks .. Marcia

    
    Hi,
    
    In NCL do 
    SHOW DSA NAMING CONTEXT *
    
    If it returns no entries create yourself a naming context.
    
    e.g.
    In NCL
    CREATE DSA NAMING CONTEXT "/C=GB"
    
    
    Mike

    Marcia
    
    It might be better to make the naming context /c=br/o=ebt. You can
    create the naming context before the named entry exists.
    
    Make sure that you have done all the steps in the DEC X.500 Directory
    Service Management Guide sections 2.2 & 2.5 at least (my guide is old
    but I assume the headings are roughly the same now, the sections are
    "Configuring CN=DSA1" and "Creating Entries ...").

    Hi Dick,
    
         I created the naming context and the configuration worked fine.
    
    	Thanks for the help!
