To Attach an LDAP Data Source to a Data Source Pool

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

1. Attach one or more data sources to a data source pool.

   $ dpconf attach-ldap-data-source -h host -p port pool-name \ source-name [source-name ...]

2. (Optional) View the list of attached data sources for a given data source pool.

   $ dpconf list-attached-ldap-data-sources -h host -p port -E pool-name

   In this command, -E is optional, and modifies the display output to show one property value per line.

3. (Optional) View the key properties of the attached data sources for a given data source pool.

   $ dpconf list-attached-ldap-data-sources -h host -p port -v pool-name

   In this command, -v specifies verbose output. For example, view the properties of an example data source pool.

   $ dpconf list-attached-ldap-data-sources -h host1 -p 1389 -v My-pool SRC_NAME add-weight bind-weight compare-weight ----------- ---------- ----------- -------------- datasource0 disabled disabled disabled datasource1 disabled disabled disabled delete-weight modify-dn-weight modify-weight search-weight ------------- ---------------- ------------- ------------- disabled disabled disabled disabled disabled disabled disabled disabled

4. (Optional) View the properties of an attached data source by using the following command syntax:

   $ dpconf get-attached-ldap-data-source-prop -h host -p port [-M unit] [-Z unit] \ pool-name source-name [property...]

   In this command, -M and -Z refer to the units in which you want data to be displayed. The M option specifies the unit of time. The value for -M can be M, w, d, h, m, s, or ms, to represent months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, or milliseconds. The -Z option specifies the data size unit. The value for -Z can be T, G, M, k, or b, to represent Terabytes, Gigabytes, Megabytes, kilobytes, or bytes.

   If you do not specify a property, all properties are displayed.

   The properties of an attached data source define the weight for each type of operation in load balancing. The default weights of an attached data source are as follows:

   add-weight : disabled bind-weight : disabled compare-weight : disabled delete-weight : disabled modify-dn-weight : disabled modify-weight : disabled search-weight : disabled

5. The default weights of an attached data source are 0 and disabled. You must set the weights of an attached data source for Directory Proxy Server to work as intended.

   In the following example, all the properties are set to one. You can change the values of these properties as per your requirements. For information about how to configure weights of an attached data source for load balancing, see To Configure Weights for Load Balancing.

   $ dpconf set-attached-ldap-data-source-prop -h host -p port \ pool-name source-name add-weight:1 $ dpconf set-attached-ldap-data-source-prop -h host -p port \ pool-name source-name bind-weight:1 $ dpconf set-attached-ldap-data-source-prop -h host -p port \ pool-name source-name compare-weight:1 $ dpconf set-attached-ldap-data-source-prop -h host -p port \ pool-name source-name delete-weight:1 $ dpconf set-attached-ldap-data-source-prop -h host -p port \ pool-name source-name modify-dn-weight:1 $ dpconf set-attached-ldap-data-source-prop -h host -p port \ pool-name source-name modify-weight:1 $ dpconf set-attached-ldap-data-source-prop -h host -p port \ pool-name source-name search-weight:1
