Creating and Configuring LDAP Data Source Pools

For information about how to create and configure data source pools, see the following procedures:

To Create an LDAP 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. Create one or more data source pools.

   $ dpconf create-ldap-data-source-pool -h host -p port pool-name

   Additional data source pools can be specified after the first pool-name. For information about how to modify the properties of a data source pool, see To Configure an LDAP Data Source Pool.

2. (Optional) View the list of data source pools.

   $ dpconf list-ldap-data-source-pools -h host -p port

To Configure an LDAP 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. View the properties of the data source pool by using this command syntax:

   dpconf get-ldap-data-source-pool-prop -h host -p port [-M unit] [-Z unit] \ pool-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 miliseconds. 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 default properties of an LDAP data source pool are as follows:

   client-affinity-policy : write-affinity-after-write client-affinity-timeout : 20s description : - enable-client-affinity : false load-balancing-algorithm : proportional

2. Configure the properties that are listed in Step 1.

   $ dpconf set-ldap-data-source-pool-prop -h host -p port pool-name \ property:value

   For information about how to configure the properties of a data source pool for load balancing and client affinity, see Chapter 21, Directory Proxy Server Load Balancing and Client Affinity.
