This chapter describes how to administer an instance of Directory Proxy Server. This chapter covers the following topics:
When you create an instance of Directory Proxy Server, the files and directories required for the instance are created in the path that you specify.
In this procedure, you create a server instance on the local host using the dpadm
command. You then configure the instance using the dpconf
command.
Non-root
users can create server instances.
A Directory Proxy Server instance must be configured to proxy directory client application requests to data sources through data views. When you start or stop an instance, you start or stop the server process that proxies directory client application requests.
The dpadm
command enables you to manage a Directory Proxy Server instance and the files belonging to that instance on the local host. The command does not allow you to administer servers over the network, but only directly on the local host. The dpadm
command has subcommands for each key management task. For a complete description, see dpadm.
The dpconf
command is an LDAP client. The command enables you to configure nearly all server settings on a running Directory Proxy Server instance from the command line. You can configure settings whether the server is on the local host or another host that is accessible across the network. The dpconf
command has subcommands for each key configuration task. For a complete description, see dpconf.
You can use the web interface Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) to perform this task.
If you use DSCC to create a new server instance, you can choose to copy some or all of the server configuration settings from an existing server.
Note:
When you start Directory Proxy Server for the very first time, Directory Proxy Server retrieves information from the JVM in use. After Directory Proxy Server retrieves this information, you can upgrade to a later JVM version, but you cannot revert to an older JVM version.
Create the instance of Directory Proxy Server.
$ dpadm create -p port instance-path
For example, to create a new instance in the directory /local/dps
, use this command:
$ dpadm create -p 2389 /local/dps
To specify any other parameter of the instance, see the dpadm man page.
Type a password if required.
Confirm that the instance has been created by verifying the status of the instance.
$ dpadm info instance-path
Register the server instance with Directory Service Control Center by using either of the following methods.
Login to DSCC, and then use the Register Existing Server action on the Proxy Servers tab.
Access DSCC using http://
hostname
:8080/dscc7
or https://
hostname
:8181/dscc7
as per your application server configuration.
Use the command dsccreg add-server
.
$ dsccreg add-server -h hostname --description "My Proxy" /local/dps Enter DSCC administrator's password: /local/dps is an instance of DPS Enter password of "cn=Proxy Manager" for /local/dps: Connecting to /local/dps Enabling DSCC access to /local/dps Registering /local/dps in DSCC on hostname.
See dsccreg for more information about the command.
You can use the web interface Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) to perform this task.
Find the status of an instance of Directory Proxy Server.
$ dpadm info instance-path
You can use the web interface Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) to perform this task.
To start or stop Directory Proxy Server, do one of the following.
Before you stop Directory Proxy Server, or begin any Directory Proxy Server maintenance operation, you can reduce the risk of disrupting active server connections by enabling the quiesce mode. When quiesce mode is enabled, Directory Proxy Server immediately refuses client requests for new connections. As clients close their connections, Directory Proxy Server gradually transitions to an administrative state in which no open connections exist. When no connections are open, you can safely commence maintenance tasks, stop, or restart Directory Proxy Server
Administrator requests continue to be accepted while in quiesce mode. This ensures that administrators can still modify the configuration, or to resume normal operation as needed.
To enable quiesce mode:
$ dpconf enable-quiesce-mode
To disable quiesce mode:
$ dpconf disable-quiesce-mode
List the running instances on a host using the following command:
dpadm list-running-instances [--all]
The --all
option lists the running instances from any installation path.
Stop the running instances on a host using the following command:
dpadm stop-running-instances [-i] [--force]
For more information, see dpadm.
Sometimes, a configuration change requires the server to be restarted before the change takes effect. Use this procedure to check whether it is necessary to restart a Directory Proxy Server instance after a configuration change.
View whether it is necessary to restart the server.
$ dpconf get-server-prop -h host -p port is-restart-required
If the command returns true
, you must restart the instance of Directory Proxy Server.
If the command returns false
, it is not necessary to restart the instance of Directory Proxy Server.
You can use the web interface Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) to perform this task.
Restart Directory Proxy Server.
$ dpadm restart instance-path
For example, to restart an instance at /local/dps
, use this command:
$ dpadm restart /local/dps
You can use the web interface Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) to perform this task.
Stop the Directory Proxy Server instance.
$ dpadm stop instance-path
If you do not stop the instance, the delete command will stop it automatically. However, if you have enabled the instance in a service management solution, you must stop it manually.
If you have previously used DSCC to manage the server, use the command line to unregister the server.
$ dsccreg remove-server /local/dps
Enter DSCC administrator's password:
/local/dps is an instance of DPS
Enter password of "cn=Proxy Manager" for /local/dps:
Unregistering /local/dps from DSCC on localhost.
Connecting to /local/dps
Disabling DSCC access to /local/dps
For details, see the dsccreg man page.
If you previously enabled the server instance in a service management solution, then disable the server from being managed as a service.

This section describes how to configure an instance of Directory Proxy Server. The procedures in this section use the dpadm
and dpconf
commands. For information about these commands, see the dpadm and dpconf man pages.
$ dpconf info -p port 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
INSTANCE_PATH
to display Directory Proxy Server instance configuration information.
This section describes how to modify the configuration of Directory Proxy Server.
You can use the web interface Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) to perform this task.

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
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.
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.
The Proxy Manager is the privileged administrator, comparable to the root user on UNIX systems. The Proxy Manager entry is defined when an instance of Directory Proxy Server is created. The default DN of the Proxy Manager is cn=Proxy Manager
.
You can view and change the Proxy Manager DN and password, as shown in the following procedure.
You can use the web interface Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) to perform this task.
Find the configuration of the Proxy Manager.
$ dpconf get-server-prop -h host -p port configuration-manager-bind-dn\ configuration-manager-bind-pwd configuration-manager-bind-dn : cn=proxy manager configuration-manager-bind-pwd : {AES128}5JaqMN538KNtyACpy90i+g==
The default value for the Proxy Manager is cn=proxy manager
. A hashed value is returned for the configuration manager password.
Change the DN of the Proxy Manager.
$ dpconf set-server-prop -h host -p port configuration-manager-bind-dn:bindDN
Create a file that contains the password for the Proxy Manager and set the property that points to that file.
$ dpconf set-server-prop -h host -p port configuration-manager-bind-pwd-file:filename
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 distribution-algorithm listen-address listen-port number-of-threads listen-address listen-port number-of-threads custom-distribution-algorithm distribution-algorithm compat-flag 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.
If a property has an rws
(read, write, static) keyword, the server must be restarted when the property is changed.
If a property has an rwd
(read, write, dynamic) keyword, modifications to the property are implemented dynamically (without restarting the server).
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
When you use dpadm
to back up Directory Proxy Server, the configuration files and server certificates are backed up. If you have implemented Directory Proxy Server virtual ACIs, the ACIs are also backed up.
Directory Proxy Server automatically backs up the conf.ldif
file whenever the server starts successfully.
You can use the web interface Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) to perform this task.
Stop the instance of Directory Proxy Server.
$ dpadm stop instance-path
Back up the instance of Directory Proxy Server.
$ dpadm backup instance-path archive-dir
The archive-dir directory is created by the backup
command and must not exist before you run the command. This directory contains a backup of each of the configuration files and the certificates.
You can use the web interface Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) to perform this task.
You must create a Directory Proxy Server instance before starting the restore operation.
Stop the instance of Directory Proxy Server.
$ dpadm stop instance-path
Restore the instance of Directory Proxy Server.
$ dpadm restore instance-path archive-dir
If the instance path exists, the restore operation is performed silently. The configuration files and the certificates in the archive-dir directory replace those in the instance-path directory.
If the instance path does not exist, the restore operation fails.
