Confirming the DSML Gateway Deployment with JXplorer

The JXplorer tool is a Java-based LDAP browser that can be used to browse, search, and edit the contents of a Sun OpenDS Standard Edition instance This tool can communicate using both LDAP and DSML. Although JXplorer's DSML support does not allow authentication (and therefore is restricted to the set of operations available to anonymous users), it is still possible to use it to verify that the DSML gateway is functioning as expected.

To do this, start JXplorer and chose the Connect option from the File menu. The Open LDAP/DSML Connection window opens with fields for connection information. The following figure shows typical entries.

Figure shows the Open LDAP/DSML Connection window.

Enter the address and port number of the Web application on which the DSML gateway is running and choose DSMLv2 from the Protocol list. Specify the path to the DSMLServlet in the DSML Service field, and provide an appropriate base DN value for your directory.

Click the OK button to connect the directory server and display a JXplorer window where you can search and browse the tree (with the limitations imposed for anonymous users)
