[GnomeMeeting-list] GnomeMeeting and ILS .. (help?)

[Gareth Bult <Gareth Linux co uk>]

Hi,

I've been trying to set up my own ILS server for GnomeMeeting using OpenLDAP and the NDK. (cersions 2.1.7 and 1.2 rsp)

It does appear that GnomeMeeting does things in a similar "non standard" fashion to Netmeeting, which has made life .. interesting.

I got part way there and managed to add entries by hand and have them show up in the addressbook by adding "localhost" as an ILS server, however it simply would not add entries automatically.

I eventually tracked it down to OpenLDAP not using the supplied script for "add" operations, although delete and modify were Ok.. thinking this an OpenLDAP bug, I upgraded to 2.2.6.

Ahhhhhh!

First problem, it no longer recognises "objectClass=RTPerson" as a valid DN on startup.
After setting prefix to "" I get;

Mar 12 19:11:10 squizzey slapd[4874]: conn=0 op=0 BIND dn="" method=128
Mar 12 19:11:10 squizzey slapd[4874]: conn=0 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text=
Mar 12 19:11:10 squizzey slapd[4874]: do_delete: invalid dn (c=-,o=Gnome,cn=Gareth Bult co uk,objectclass=RTPerson)
Mar 12 19:11:10 squizzey slapd[4874]: conn=0 op=1 RESULT tag=107 err=34 text=invalid DN
Mar 12 19:11:20 squizzey slapd[4874]: do_add: invalid dn (c=-,o=Gnome,cn=Gareth Bult co uk,objectclass=RTPerson)
Mar 12 19:11:20 squizzey slapd[4874]: conn=0 op=2 RESULT tag=105 err=34 text=invalid DN
Mar 12 19:11:30 squizzey slapd[4874]: do_modify: invalid dn (c=-,o=Gnome,cn=Gareth Bult co uk,objectclass=RTPerson)
Mar 12 19:11:30 squizzey slapd[4874]: conn=0 op=3 RESULT tag=103 err=34 text=invalid DN

.. I've come to the conclusion that GnomeMeeting is at the root of all this as it's not behaving as per other standard OpenLDAP type databases, AND the NDK simply does not work with either of the version of OpenLDAP I've tried. (and looking at things like %==wildcard, it ain't going to work without the kit)

Please, can anyone shed some light, even better, can someone publish the spec for ils.seconix.com ?

tia
Gareth.
