Windows Server 2003

[jyeomans]

Hello,

I have been asked to create an applet for a client who is running E-directory and Groupwise on a Windows 2003 server.

They have also uninstalled the Netware client from all the workstations.

My question is, will it still be possible to run Formativ applets in this environment?

L.P.:

Thank you for your exotic suggestions

John:

You can use Novell’s LDAP ActiveX controls to access eDirectory without need of the NetWare client.

Download the following installers if you have not done so already:

ActiveX Controls for Novell Services (Core Components)

LDAP Controls

Alternatively, you could use the controls on the “LDAP” tab of the Component Palette in the Formativ Forms Designer. Among the controls here is NWIDir, the LDAP counterpart to NWDir.

I hope this helps.

Unfortunately, I have already tried installing the core components and it does not make any difference.

I have just tried adding the LDAP NWDir control to my form, but receive the error “Class Not Registered” when i try to place it on my form.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

John

Dear John,

Apologies for my previous misleading post. It’s not enough to drop the NWIDir (LDAP) component onto a form. Before doing so you must install and register the LDAP ActiveX controls, as noted in the following (from the Formativ Studio ReadMe):

quote:

5. Novell ActiveX Components

The Visual Forms Designer component palette contains a number of ActiveX controls provided by Novell. Specifically, all components on the GroupWise, Netware, LDAP and NDAP pages are Novell ActiveX controls. In order to use these components (at both design and execution), the target computer needs to have the appropriate ActiveX controls installed and registered.

Formativ does not install these components. If you wish to use any of these components, you need to download, install and register the components from Novell. Likewise, if you write any applets that use any of these components, you need to ensure the appropriate components are installed and registered on your end-users computer.

Whether you choose the LDAP or NDAP controls, the Core Components must be installed. I believe the Core Components should be registered before the LDAP/NDAP controls can be registered.

I hope this helps.
