Setting Up uOne Administration/PMA

Setting Up uOne Administration/PMA

The uOne Administration tool is a web-based tool for provisioning. You use uOne Administration to provision system-wide resources, such as FaxPrint, AMIS-A, and Greeting Administrative mailboxes, as well as adding, modifying and deleting Classes of Service and individual users.

Personal Mailbox Administration (PMA) is a web-based tool that subscribers use to set up options for their uOne mailboxes.For instance, subscribers can choose how to be notified when new messages arrive in their mailbox, manage distribution lists, and set up various mailbox preferences.

There are six uOne Administration/PMA .ini files that need to be configured. These files include:

Prerequisites

Before you start uOne Administration/PMA, ensure that the following tasks have been completed.

Engineering Considerations

You can install the uOne Administration application on any Solaris HTTP Server. In large configurations, it is recommended that you install it on a standalone HTTP Server with at least one backup server for standby. To switch to the standby server, a DNS administrator would switch the HTTP name to the second box and the .ini files would have to be copied to the new system.

Upgrade issues

When uOne Administration is installed, the .ini files are placed in the MSGdata/Samples directory. The installer must copy the files to the MSGdata directory and then edit them appropriately.

Administering uOne Administration/PMA

uOne Administration and PMA are first set up during the initial configuration of your uOne system with the Quick Configuration tool. The uOne Administration/PMA configuration files may be edited at any time, if necessary.

Editing the schemaConfig.ini File

To edit the schemaConfig.ini, follow these steps:

Step 1   Go to the Gateserver where the schemaConfig.ini file resides for uOne Administration/PMA.

Step 2   Login as spmaster.

Step 3   Type:
cd /home2/spmaster/ADMIN/cgi-bin/MSGadmin/MSGdata.

Step 4   Change the parameters as desired. (See the parameters listed in Table 2-1. Defaults are used for schemaConfig.ini parameters not listed in this table.)

The current directory server label.

Should not be edited.

Default=N/A

Indicates the DN of the root of the tree that contains mail server entries.

For example, o=NetscapeRoot

Default=N/A

Editing the languagesData.ini File

When an administrator set up a subscriber account, the administrator can assign a preferred language for speaking prompts and e-mail over the telephone. Administrators use the Preferred Language field on the Add a Subscriber and Modify a Subscriber pages to assign a preferred language. This field displays in a drop-down list box with the language options. Typically, these options in the languageData.ini file are set up during the initial configuration of the system. The languageData.ini may be edited, if necessary.

Modifying the Language Options

Step 1   Go to the Gateserver where uOne Administration and PMA reside.

Step 2   Login as spmaster.

Step 3   Type:
cd /home2/spmaster/ADMIN/cgi-bin/MSGadmin/MSGdata.

Step 4   Edit languageData.ini files and set the following parameters (Table 2-2).

[preferredlanguage]
numOfOptions=<XX>
option<YY>=<value>,< location>
defaultValue=<value>

To turn on uOne Administration/PMA logging, follow these steps:

Step 1   Go to the Gateserver where uOne Administration and PMA reside.

Step 2   Login as spmaster.

Step 3   Type:
cd /home2/spmaster/ADMIN/cgi-bin/MSGadmin/MSGdata.
