In my workshop, we have 11g OUD installed in a sandbox in where I can play with. Recently I got introduced into OUD DN renaming workflow element. From various trials and errors, I realized that proxy instance must be available before I add workflow element "DN renaming" on selected workflow. At least that is how I believe, Please correct me if I misunderstood on that thought.
Once proxy instance was installed, I accessed it via ODSM console via 4446 port number and I noticed that Server Role as proxy which tells me I am at proxy instance not actual LDAP.
I navigated to Configuration > Core Configuration and noticed five workflows came out of the installation. Also I noticed "DN renaming workflow element (WFE) - subschemasubentry" under workflow elements node.
These are all came out of the installation so that I decided to use existing "DN renaming" WFE subschemasubentry instead of creating new one via GUI or dsconfig cmd.
I replaced its client base DN as "dc=myorg" and its source base DN as "ou=people,dc=company,dc=com" which its branch indeed exists in the OUD.
After saving (Press Apply btn) this configuration, I ran ldapsearch command by placing baseDN as "dc=myorg" searching for my entry but failed. The error message says "No such object (32) Additional information: Then entry dc=myorg specified as the search base does not exist in the Directory Server"
This is the ldapsearch command I ran:
"ldapsearch -h <host_name> -p <port_number> "cn=Directory Manager" -w "<password>" -b "dc=myorg" uid=<my_uid>"
If I replace -b parameter with existing branch "ou=people,dc=company,dc=com" then it indeed returns my entry.
I am trying to understand what I need to do to make this specific WFE to work. I would greatly appreciate your advice and help. Thank you!
