LDAP Server Property (Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Migration Guide)

Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Migration Guide

LDAP Server Property

In Directory Proxy Server 5, the ids-proxy-sch-LDAPServer property is used to define the backend LDAP servers to which Directory Proxy Server sends requests. In Directory Proxy Server 6.3, this functionality is achieved by using LDAP data sources. You can set properties for LDAP data sources by using the Directory Service Control Center or by using the command line. For more information, see Creating and Configuring LDAP Data Sources in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Administration Guide.

In iPlanet Directory Access Router 5.0 (IDAR) these configuration attributes are stored under ids-proxy-con-Name=server-name,ou=properties,ou=pd2,ou=iDAR,o=services. In Directory Proxy Server 5.2, these configuration attributes are stored under ou=groups,cn=user-defined-name,ou=dar-config,o=NetscapeRoot.

The following table maps the attributes of the ids-proxy-sch-LDAPServer object class to the corresponding data source properties in Directory Proxy Server 6.3. Data sources provide additional functionality that was not provided in Directory Proxy Server 5. Not all data source properties are listed here. For a list of all the properties that can be configured for a data source, run the following command:

$ dpconf help-properties | grep ldap-data-source
