Modifying the Configuration of Directory Proxy Server

This section describes how to modify the configuration of Directory Proxy Server.

To Modify the Configuration of Directory Proxy Server

You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.

1. Find the current configuration of Directory Proxy Server.

   $ dpconf get-server-prop -h host -p port

   Alternatively, view the current setting of one or more configuration properties.

   $ dpconf get-server-prop -h host -p port property-name ...

   For example, find whether unauthenticated operations are allowed by running this command:

   $ dpconf get-server-prop -h host -p port allow-unauthenticated-operations allow-unauthenticated-operations : true

2. Change one or more of the configuration parameters.

   $ dpconf set-server-prop -h host -p port property:value ...

   For example, disallow unauthenticated operations by running this command:

   $ dpconf set-server-prop -h host -p port allow-unauthenticated-operations:false

   If you attempt to perform an illegal change, the change is not made. For example, if you set the allow-unauthenticated-operations parameter to f instead of false, the following error is produced:

   $ dpconf set-server-prop -h host -p port allow-unauthenticated-operations:f The value "f" is not a valid value for the property "allow-unauthenticated-operations". Allowed property values: BOOLEAN The "set-server-prop" operation failed.

3. If necessary, restart the instance of Directory Proxy Server for the changes to take effect.

   For information about restarting Directory Proxy Server, see To Restart Directory Proxy Server.

Displaying Directory Proxy Server Instance Configuration Information

To display the Directory Proxy Server instance configurations, type dpconf info.

$ dpconf info
Instance Path           :  instance path
Host Name               :  host
Secure listen address   :  IP address
Port                    :  port
Secure port             :  secure port
SSL server certificate  :  defaultServerCert

Directory Proxy Server needs to be restarted.

dpconf info displays Secure listen address and Non-secure listen address only if these properties are set to non-default values. The above output does not display Non-secure listen address, as this property is not set to a non-default value.

dpconf info also reminds the user to restart the instance if it needs to be restarted.

You can also use dpadm info to display Directory Proxy Server instance configuration information.
