|
|
<div><p>This topic provides a list of known issues and limitations in the IBM<sup>®</sup> Telephone
|
|
Directory V5.2 application.</p>
|
|
<p>While using IBM Telephone Directory V5.2, you should be aware of the
|
|
following notices and limitations.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Setup</h4><ul><li>The IBM Telephone
|
|
Directory V5.2 application can be configured to use an existing base DN from
|
|
your <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> Directory Server
|
|
(LDAP) server. If you publish your system directory to your LDAP server using
|
|
the inetOrgPerson object class, you can use that directory for the application.
|
|
This is done by specifying the base DN you want to use for the IBM Telephone Directory
|
|
application during IBM Welcome Page V1.1 installation. However, the password
|
|
field is optional in the inetOrgPerson object class. An authorized user needs
|
|
to set the password value in the entries if they want the users to update
|
|
their own entries.</li>
|
|
<li>If system directory publishing is left on/enabled on your system, periodic
|
|
updates to the directory will cause changes made to be discarded through the IBM Telephone
|
|
Directory application. This is a limitation of directory publishing. It is
|
|
recommended to use directory publishing only to do the initial set up of a
|
|
directory, then turn it off if directory updates are to be made.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">General usage</h4><ul><li>When searching on a telephone number, there are no implied wildcards.
|
|
The IBM Telephone
|
|
Directory V5.2 application searches for the exact value you enter. This means
|
|
you <span class="uicontrol">must</span> specify the wildcard character (*) if you
|
|
want to search for part of a telephone number. <p>For example, you want to
|
|
find all users that have the 507 area code. The following search criteria
|
|
will do this:</p>
|
|
<pre>*507*</pre>
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> You might receive search
|
|
results other than those containing a 507 area code (those users with 507
|
|
in the actual telephone number).</div>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>When you are prompted for a user ID and password, the characters entered
|
|
must map to the default job CCSID of the IBM HTTP server for <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span>.
|
|
The HTTP server assumes the user ID and password you enter is encoded in the
|
|
net CCSID (ASCII) configured for the server and converts them to the server's
|
|
job CCSID (EBCDIC). If the characters don't map, sign on fails. For example,
|
|
if your user ID or password contains Japanese characters, the HTTP server
|
|
must be running with a Japanese net CCSID (such as 943) and a Japanese job
|
|
CCSID (such as 5035). If it is not, you will not be able to sign on to the IBM Telephone
|
|
Directory application, because the HTTP server is not able to
|
|
authenticate your credentials. This limitation does not apply to form input
|
|
or display, because all data is encoded in UTF-8. It only applies to sign
|
|
on. <p>The following areas are affected:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>Registering users during closed enrollment</li>
|
|
<li>Updating directory entries</li>
|
|
<li>Changing entry passwords</li>
|
|
<li>Deleting directory entries</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The following areas are not affected:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>Registering users during open enrollment</li>
|
|
<li>Basic search</li>
|
|
<li>Advanced search</li>
|
|
<li>Detailed entry display</li>
|
|
<li>Online help and other forms</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Registering</h4><ul><li>Passwords are not required by default.</li>
|
|
<li>If you want to insert a photo into a user entry, it has to be in .jpg
|
|
format. The IBM Telephone
|
|
Directory application does not support .gif format. The photo size must be
|
|
less than the configured value size.</li>
|
|
<li>A valid user entry must be created in order for other entries to specify <span class="uicontrol">Manager
|
|
Name</span>, <span class="uicontrol">Assistant Name</span>, or <span class="uicontrol">Backup
|
|
Name</span> fields. This means you must create a directory using a top-down
|
|
process if you want to fill all values in during the initial user entry creation.
|
|
Alternatively, you can use the <span class="uicontrol">Update entry</span> function
|
|
to enter manager, assistant, or backup values after all user entries have
|
|
been created. For example, a manager entry has to be created before his or
|
|
her employees can enter Manager Name in their individual entries. If the manager
|
|
entry does not exist during the employee entry creation, you must update the
|
|
employee entry after the manager has been created.</li>
|
|
<li>If you delete an entry (such as a manager) that is used in another entry
|
|
(such as an employee having his or her manager listed), the IBM Telephone Directory
|
|
application does not remove the manager name from the employee entry. The
|
|
same scenario is applicable for the Backup Name and Assistant Name fields.</li>
|
|
<li>If a manager, assistant, or backup entry is deleted, links to that entry
|
|
are no longer displayed in an associated user entry. If the deleted entry
|
|
is recreated (and uses the same CN and user ID values), the links to that
|
|
entry automatically reappear. In addition, when a manager entry is deleted,
|
|
the Reports-To Chain page (for entries linked to the deleted entry) no longer
|
|
work until the manager entry is recreated. However, the Same-Department page
|
|
still works, even though the manager's entry is has been deleted.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Data integrity</h4><ul><li>You are responsible for data integrity in the IBM Telephone Directory application. The application
|
|
comes with a limited set of validation rules; however, it is the administrator
|
|
or the user who is responsible for the input of correct data.</li>
