To Configure Data Views With Hierarchy and a Distribution Algorithm

You cannot use DSCC to perform this task. Use the command line, as described in this procedure.

1. Create a data source for each LDAP server as described in Creating and Configuring LDAP Data Sources.

2. Create four data source pools as described in Creating and Configuring LDAP Data Source Pools.

3. Attach the data sources to the data source pools by following the instructions in Attaching LDAP Data Sources to a Data Source Pool.

   • Attach the data sources that contain dc=example,dc=com to data-source-pool-1.

   • Attach the data sources that contain ou=computer,dc=example,dc=com to data-source-pool-2.

   • Attach the data sources that contain entries in ou=people,dc=example,dc=com with uid between 0 and 99 to data-source-pool-3.

   • Attach the data sources that contain entries in ou=people,dc=example,dc=com with uid between 100 and 199 to data-source-pool-4.

4. (Optional) Configure load balancing.

   For information, see Configuring Load Balancing.

5. Create a data view with a base DN at dc=example,dc=com, that refers to data-source-pool-1.

   $ dpconf create-ldap-data-view -h host1 -p 1389 dataview-1 \ data-source-pool-1 dc=example,dc=com

6. Create a data view with a base DN at ou=computer,dc=example,dc=com that refers to data-source-pool-2.

   $ dpconf create-ldap-data-view -h host1 -p 1389 dataview-2 \ data-source-pool-2 ou=computer,dc=example,dc=com

7. Create a data view with a base DN at ou=people,dc=example,dc=com that refers to data-source-pool-3. Configure a distribution algorithm on the data view to select entries with uid between 0 and 99.

   $ dpconf create-ldap-data-view -h host1 -p 1389 dataview-3 \ data-source-pool-3 ou=people,dc=example,dc=com $ dpconf set-ldap-data-view-prop dataview-3 distribution-algorithm:numeric \ numeric-attrs:uid numeric-lower-bound:0 numeric-upper-bound:99

8. Create a data view with a base DN at ou=people,dc=example,dc=com that refers to data-source-pool-4, and configure a distribution algorithm on the data view to select entries with uid between 100 and 199.

   $ dpconf create-ldap-data-view -h host1 -p 1389 dataview-4 \ data-source-pool-4 ou=people,dc=example,dc=com $ dpconf set-ldap-data-view-prop dataview-4 distribution-algorithm:numeric \ numeric-attrs:uid numeric-lower-bound:100 numeric-upper-bound:199

9. Verify that the subtrees ou=computer,dc=example, dc=com and ou=people,dc=example, dc=com have been excluded from dataview-1 by looking at the excluded-subtrees parameter.

   $ dpconf get-ldap-data-view-prop -h host1 -p 1389 dataview-1 excluded-subtrees

   The list of excluded subtrees is returned.

10. Restart the instance of Directory Proxy Server for the changes to take effect.
