The SLAMD Distributed Load Generation Engine is a Java application that is designed to stress test and analyze the performance of network-based applications. It was originally developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. to benchmark and analyze the performance of LDAP directory servers. SLAMD is available as an open source application under the Sun Public License, an OSI-approved open source license. To obtain information about SLAMD, go to http://www.slamd.com/. SLAMD is also available as a java.net project. See https://slamd.java.net/.
Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) technology supports accessing the Directory Server using LDAP and DSML v2 from Java applications. For information about JNDI, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/jndi/. The JNDI Tutorial contains detailed descriptions and examples of how to use JNDI. This tutorial is at http://download.oracle.com/javase/jndi/tutorial/.

Table P-2 Default Paths
Placeholder |
Description |
Default Value |
|---|---|---|
install-path |
Represents the base installation directory for Directory Server Enterprise Edition software. The software is installed in directories below this base install-path. For example, Directory Server software is installed in install-path/ds6/. |
When you install from a zip distribution using dsee_deploy, the default install-path is the current directory. You can set the install-path using the -i option of the dsee_deploy command. See the Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Man Page Reference When you install from a native package distribution, such as you would using the Java Enterprise System installer, the default install-path is one of the following locations:
|
instance-path |
Represents the full path to an instance of Directory Server or Directory Proxy Server. The documentation uses /local/ds/ for Directory Server and /local/dps/ for Directory Proxy Server. |
No default path exists. Instance paths must nevertheless always be found on a local file system. The following directories are recommended: /var on Solaris systems /global if you are using Sun Cluster |
