Oracle Directory Server Administration, 3 of 10

Setting System Operational Attributes

An operational attribute--as opposed to an application attribute--pertains to the operation of the directory itself. Some operational information is specified by the directory to control the server--for example, the time stamp for an entry. Other operational information, such as access information, is defined by administrators and is used by the directory program in its processing. You must have super user privileges to set system operational attributes.

Setting System Operational Attributes by Using Oracle Directory Manager

You can view and set some of the operational attributes for each Oracle directory server to which you are connected by using Oracle Directory Manager. To do this, in the navigator pane, expand Oracle Internet Directory Servers, then select a directory server. System operational attributes appear in the right pane.

Table C-34 describes the fields displayed in Oracle Directory Manager for system operational attributes.

Setting System Operational Attributes by Using ldapmodify

To modify system operational attributes, use ldapmodify. Table B-34 describes the modifiable system operational attributes.
