Directory Editor Limitations

This section lists product limitations. Limitations are not always associated with a change request number.

The following configuration requirements exist for using Directory Editor through Directory Proxy Server.

When configuring Directory Editor to access data through Directory Proxy Server, you must observe the following constraints.

• The Directory Editor configuration directory must be an instance of Directory Server, not Directory Proxy Server.

  You specify the Directory Editor configuration directory when initially configuring Directory Editor through the Startup Properties page. The configuration directory must contain the entry with Bind DN and Password you provide in the Startup Properties page. The configuration directory must also already have the Configuration Suffix whose DN you select in the drop down list of the Startup Properties page.

• All Directory Proxy Server instances through which you access data using Directory Editor must be configured with a data view to allow access to search the directory schema. Schema are stored under cn=schema for Directory Server.

  For example, the following command configures a schema view into the Directory Server instances in My Pool.

  $ dpconf create-ldap-data-view -h localhost -p 1390 "schema view" \ "My Pool" cn=schema Enter "cn=Proxy Manager" password: $

• All Directory Proxy Server instances through which you access data using Directory Editor must be configured to provide access through to the data sources. In particular, the Directory Proxy Server instances must have data views configured to allow the users logging in to Directory Editor at least to bind to the Directory Server data sources.

  For example, the following command configures Directory Proxy Server to allow all LDAP operations through to the attached data source, My DS in My Pool.

  $ dpconf set-attached-ldap-data-source-prop -h localhost -p 1390 \ "My Pool" "My DS" add-weight:1 bind-weight:1 compare-weight:1 delete-weight:1 \ modify-dn-weight:1 modify-weight:1 search-weight:1 Enter "cn=Proxy Manager" password: $
