Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Configure Data Views That Provide a Single Point of Access When Superior and Subordinate Subtrees Are Stored in Different Data Sources

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

  1. Create a data source for each LDAP server as described in Creating and Configuring LDAP Data Sources.

  2. Create three data source pools as described in Creating and Configuring LDAP Data Source Pools.

  3. Attach the data sources to the data source pools by following the instructions in Attaching LDAP Data Sources to a Data Source Pool.

    • Attach the data sources that contain dc=example,dc=com to data-source-pool-1.

    • Attach the data sources that contain ou=computer,dc=example,dc=com to data-source-pool-2.

    • Attach the data sources that contain ou=people,dc=example,dc=com to data-source-pool-3.

  4. (Optional) Configure load balancing.

    For information, see Configuring Load Balancing.

  5. Create a data view with a base DN at dc=example,dc=com and a data source pool data-source-pool-1.


    $ dpconf create-ldap-data-view -h host1 -p 1389 dataview-1 \
     data-source-pool-1 dc=example,dc=com
  6. Create a data view with a base DN at ou=computer,dc=example,dc=com and a data source pool data-source-pool-2.


    $ dpconf create-ldap-data-view -h host1 -p 1389 dataview-2 \
     data-source-pool-2 ou=computer,dc=example,dc=com
  7. Create a data view with a base DN at ou=people,dc=example,dc=com and a data source pool data-source-pool-3.


    $ dpconf create-ldap-data-view -h host1 -p 1389 dataview-3 \
     data-source-pool-3 ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
  8. Verify that the subtrees ou=computer,dc=example, dc=com and ou=people,dc=example, dc=com have been excluded from dataview-1 by looking at the excluded-subtrees parameter.


    $ dpconf get-ldap-data-view-prop -h host1 -p 1389 dataview-1 excluded-subtrees

    The list of excluded subtrees is returned.

  9. 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.
