Configuring Lexicographic Distribution Algorithm

Directory Proxy Server distributes the requests to data views according to the lexicographic value of the RDN in the request. Lexicographic bounds are taken from the value of the first RDN beneath the base DN of the data view. Set the following parameters to define the Lexicographic bounds:

• lexicographic-attrs lexicographic-attrs(5dpconf)

• lexicographic-lower-bound lexicographic-lower-bound(5dpconf)

• lexicographic-upper-bound lexicographic-upper-bound(5dpconf)

For example, to configure the Lexicographic distribution algorithm to send the requests of the users whose name starts between A to M to one data view and the requests for the rest of the users to another data view.

$ dpconf set-ldap-data-view-prop dataview distribution-algorithm:lexicographic \
 lexicographic-attrs:cn lexicographic-lower-bound:A lexicographic-upper-bound:M
