Configuration Changes Requiring Server Restart

Most configuration changes to Directory Proxy Server and its entities can be made online. Certain changes require that the server be restarted before the changes take effect. If you make configuration changes to any properties in the following list, the server must be restarted:


custom-distribution-algorithm
distribution-algorithm
db-name
db-url
db-user
custom-distribution-algorithm
distribution-algorithm
custom-distribution-algorithm
distribution-algorithm
bind-dn
client-cred-mode
ldap-address
ldap-port
ldaps-port
num-bind-init
num-read-init
num-write-init
ssl-policy
load-balancing-algorithm
custom-distribution-algorithm

listen-address
listen-port
number-of-threads
listen-address
listen-port
number-of-threads
custom-distribution-algorithm

number-of-search-threads
number-of-worker-threads
syslog-alerts-enabled
syslog-alerts-host
time-resolution
use-external-schema
aci-data-view

The rws and rwd keywords of a property indicate whether changes to the property require the server to be restarted.

To determine whether a change to a property requires the server to be restarted, run the following command:


$ dpconf help-properties | grep property-name

For example, to determine whether changing the bind DN of an LDAP data source requires the server to be restarted, run the following command:


$ dpconf help-properties | grep bind-dn
connection-handler   	bind-dn-filters        rwd  STRING | any
This property specifies a set of regular expressions. The bind DN 
of a client must match at least one regular expression in order for 
the connection to be accepted by the connection handler. (Default: any)
ldap-data-source      bind-dn               rws  DN | ""
This property specifies the DN to use when binding to the LDAP data 
source. (Default: undefined)

To determine whether the server must be restarted following a configuration change, run the following command:


$ dpconf get-server-prop -h host -p port is-restart-required
