Many of the dsconf subcommands enable the user to view and modify configuration properties.
To list the configuration properties used in Directory Server, type:
$ dsconf help-properties |
To find a particular property, search the output of the help properties.
For example, if you are using a UNIX® platform and you want to search for all properties relating to referrals, use the following command. Note that the properties are grouped by targeted objects, such as suffixes (SUF) and server (SER).
$ dsconf help-properties | grep -i referral SER referral-url rw LDAP_URL | undefined Referrals returned to clients requesting a DN not stored in this Directory Server (Default: undefined) SUF referral-mode rw disabled|enabled|only-on-write Specifies how referrals are used for requests involving the suffix (Default: disabled) SUF referral-url rw LDAP_URL | undefined Server(s) to which updates are referred (Default: undefined) SUF repl-rewrite-referrals-enabled rw on|off Specifies whether automatic referrals are overwritten (Default: off) |
To see the server attribute, use verbose mode. For example, on a UNIX system, type:
$ dsconf help-properties -v | grep -i referral-mode SUF referral-mode rw disabled|enabled|only-on-write nsslapd-state Specifies how referrals are used for requests involving the suffix (Default: disabled) |
For more information about individual properties, see the man page for that property. The man pages are in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 Man Page Reference.
