2692.0. "How to create smtp translations address from ALL-IN-1 V3.2" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (didier courcoux) Thu May 22 1997 12:31

Hi,

I'm trying to setup ALL-IN-1 V3.2,linked with X.500 directory and MB400, 
to create smtp translations address automatically when creating a ALL-IN-1 
account.

All the staff described in the documentation is done, and the creation
of a ALL-IN-1 account add automatically for the new user an RDN entry, 
an ORADRRESS and a TRANSLATION for the gateway XMR.

regards,

Didier COURCOUX ( EVTAI1::COURCOUX)

    You have to customise the X.500 Mapping Script to get an SMTP address
    created in X.500, it isn't done by default, since we don't know how the
    address is formed. I think this is described in the Management Guide.

    If you haven't already done so you need to define an SMTP Gateway Entry
    in X.500 too.( using SM MXD MSG ).

2692.3Where do you want the translation done?IOSG::MARSHALLFri May 23 1997 15:4824
Also, it depends what you mean by "translations".  If you mean all you want to
define the mapping between O/R and SMTP addresses, to be used by the MAILbus 400
SMTP gateway, then you can use some reasonably clever rules within the gateway
(based on RFC-1327).  If you do this, you don't need to define a specific
mapping for every individual user.

For example, on our system the SMTP domain x400.reo.dec.com maps to the O/R
address stem C=GB; A=gold 400; p=digital;o=digital;ou1=reo.  Then the username
part of the SMTP address is mapped to CN or G+S.  Simple and effective.  This is
all explained in the MAILbus 400 SMTP gateway documentation.

But if you do want a specific SMTP address added to X.500 for every user, you
need to use a customised mapping script.  I think one of the 'sample' scripts
supplied in the kit does this, so you can either use it as-is, or take the
relevant bits of code from it for use in your own script.  See the Mail
Management Guide, and comments in the mapping scripts themselves.

Then, providing you have created an SMTP Gateway Entry and supplied the correct
domain name (MGT MXD MSG), ALL-IN-1's "MTS Populator" will add the necessary
foreign address and translation attributes to your MTS tree for the address. 
These specific entries will then override the general translation rules
described above.

Hye,


Thanks for your help, I made a mistake when modifying the mapping 
script in use.

I have exactly followed all the directives of the ALL-IN-1 Mail Management
 Guide, and now, translations addresses are automatically added when
I create an ALL-IN-1 account.

We need to do that in order to manage properly the existing synonimous 
among about 2700 ALL-IN-1 accounts.
 
Best regards
