Found the error on SunSolve (Bug) - nothing mentioned about IPlanet -
Short Description - LDAP server identifier name cannot have "." in it.
Long Description - IHAC a customer who complained that she gets a funny
message when she does a
"start-admin" if she uses "." in her server identifier name for NDS 4.0 eg.
test.netscape.com.
I was able to replicate it on NDS 4.1 and this is the error message:
Info: Cache expiration set to 600 seconds
AdmInit: Failed to create psetHandle for cn=slapd-rojak, cn=Netscape Directory
Server, cn=Server Group, cn=rojak.netscape.com, ou=netscape.com, o=NetscapeRoot
(error code = 2)
Netscape-Administrator/4.1 B99.143.1956

I had created a NDS instance with the server identifier name "rojak.mcom.com".
The "<server root>/slapd-rojak.mcom.com" directory did appear. I was able to
administrate it via Netscape Console and also managed to remove it
successfully.
