Chapter 5   Migration from Earlier Versions


In earlier versions of Directory Server, all configuration parameters were stored in text files. In iPlanet Directory Server 5.0, all configuration attributes are stored in LDAP configuration entries in the dse.ldif file.

This chapter describes the mapping of configuration parameters in Directory Server 4.1, 4.11, and 4.12 to the corresponding LDAP configuration entries and attributes in iPlanet Directory Server 5.0.

Server Attributes

---

In Directory Server 4.1, 4.11, and 4.12, configuration parameters are stored in the slapd.conf file under the /usr/netscape/server4/slapd-serverID directory.

The corresponding configuration attributes in iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 are stored in the cn=config entry. Table 5-1 shows the mapping of Directory Server 4.x configuration parameters to Directory Server 5.0 configuration attributes.

Database Attributes

---

In Directory Server 4.1, 4.11, and 4.12, database parameters are stored in the slapd.ldbm.conf file under the /usr/netscape/server4/slapd-serverID directory.

Because one instance of iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 can manage several databases, the corresponding attributes in iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 are stored in a general entry for all databases (cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config), or in an entry specific to a particular database, of the form cn=database instance name,cn=ldbm database,cn=config.

Table 5-2 shows the mapping of general database configuration parameters between Directory Server 4.x and Directory Server 5.0. Table 5-3 shows the mapping of database-specific parameters between Directory Server 4.x and Directory Server 5.0.

dbcachesize	nsslapd-dbcachesize
database	OBSOLETE (used to specify database type)
