SuSE eMail Server II - Post installation message: 'BaseDN is empty'
Support knowledgebase (kngu_i2_basedn)
Applies to
SuSE eMail-Server: Version 2.0
Symptom
You have installed the SuSE eMail Server II with YaST1, and after an
apparently sucessfull installation, recieved the error message:
"BaseDN is empty".
Reason
Since version 2.0 of the SuSE eMail server, the installation of the server
can be sucessfully installed with YaST2 (The graphical installaiton tool).
If you have used YaST1 to install the server, there will be some settings
that will not be completed.
If you prefer a text based installation, you can use YaST2 in text mode
(described in the eMail Server Handbook, page 17, section 4.1).
YaST1 should be used only as an 'Emergency solution', for example, if you are
having problems with hardware detection.
Solution
The post installation settings can be easily set with YaST2 in text mode.
Call YaST2 with the following command:
yast2 imap
Once YaST2 appears, follow the steps described in the SuSE eMail Server
Handbook on page 27, section 4.12.
The figures in the book show the graphical interface of YaST2, however,
you will be working with the text mode version of YaST2 (everything else
is identical - and should be self evident).
Please note that the setup of BaseDN with YaST2 can only be sucessfull if
the LDAP database has not yet been initialized. This menu option is only
designed to use once (at the initial set up of the LDAP server).
