Certificates Created

Yay, after almost a whole day of work, I got all the servers involved in DirXML identity management running with new certificates. I also enabled bi-directional synchronization between each eDirectory tree and the enterprise tree, but leaving each local eDirectory authoritative for its “home users”. We have 11 offices, and each office manages its own user accounts, and each office has a unique container (OUs) in eDirectory. We then synchronize everything to our “enterprise directory” which causes GroupWise accounts to get created for every user in our big centralized GroupWise system.

We’ve been starting to need user authentication to eDirectory trees besides our home eDirectory and the mail system, so now that synchronization is complete, all user credentials are replicated in all offices, and with a bit more tweaking, all staff will be able to use the same login ID in any office they go to.
