Sixth reminder: caldir.berkeley.edu will be pointed to ldap.berkeley.edu June 25

Hello CalNet Developers,

This is the sixth* reminder about the DNS change for
caldir.berkeley.edu.

On June 25, we will reconfigure the DNS for caldir.berkeley.edu to
point to ldap.berkeley.edu. Please see Rob's March 12 note for more
details:

<https://calnet.berkeley.edu/news/entry/2007/03/12/01.html>

Before June 25, however, we hope that applications currently using
the CalNet v1 service will have converted to use the CalNet v2 service.

Note: We hope the transition will be seamless for most applications,
but we can not guarantee this. Therefore, developers have two
options: 1) Test your application to ensure that it works against
ldap.berkeley.edu, or 2) Explicitly move your application from v1 to
v2 before June 25. We feel option 2 is the most appropriate course of
action for all developers to take.

For more information about the v2 Directory Service, please see:

* The v2 Directory Developer Transition Guide:
<https://calnet.berkeley.edu/developers/documentation/
v2TransitionGuide/index.html>

* The v1-v2 Attribute Schema Developer Transition Guide:
<https://calnet.berkeley.edu/developers/design/schema/
attv1v2TransGuide.html>

* The new v2 People Entry Structure:
<https://calnet.berkeley.edu/developers/design/tree/people.html>

* The new v2 Attribute Schema Dictionary:

Note: Some people have noted that some of the URLs above produce a
404 error. If this happens for you, make sure there are no spaces in
the URL you are trying to view. (There are no spaces in this draft,
but once the email is sent, spaces have been known to be produced in
some of the URLs above. A space shows up as %20 in HTML.)

Also, this change will not affect email address lookups via a mail
program, e.g., Eudora, Thunderbird, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.

If you have any questions or need help, please do not hesitate to ask
via calnet-admin_at_lists.berkeley.edu.

* The "First on many reminders" email went out to the CalNet
Developers list, only. All future email about the DNS changes for
caldir.berkeley.edu will go to the CalNet Developers list, Micronet,
and Magnet. We apologize in advance for the cross-posting.
