Minimal Configuration

When you install the Sun Directory Services, most configurable characteristics are given default settings that enable you to start and run a directory server. However, you must:

• Give a name to the naming context held in the data store. For details, see "Configuring the Data Store".

• Specify the location of the data store on the disk. For details, see "Configuring the Data Store".

When you have specified this information your directory server has a default configuration.

Default LDAP Configuration

The LDAP directory service has the following characteristics:

• The port used for LDAP communications is 389.

• Alias dereferencing on bind operations is enabled.

• Searches are limited to 5000 entries or 3600 seconds (1 hour). A search stops when the first of these limits is reached.

• The data store is in /var/opt/SUNWconn/ldap/dbm.

• Log files are stored in /var/opt/SUNWconn/ldap/log.

• 5000 entries are cached. A cache file of 100,000 bytes is created for each data store.

• Default indexing is used, as described in "Indexing Directory Data".

• Passwords are stored in encrypted format.

• Default access control is used, as described in Example 1-1.

• The schema is checked for each directory operation, as described in "Schema Checking".

• Security on LDAP connections is disabled.

• The directory contains no entries (the name and password for the administrator are stored in the configuration file).

• There are no referrals to other servers.

Default RADIUS Configuration

The RADIUS service has the following characteristics:

• The ports used for RADIUS communications are port 1645 for authentication traffic, and port 1646 for accounting traffic. However, recent standardization work suggests to use port 1812 for authentication traffic, and port 1813 for accounting traffic. If you want to use these ports, you can specify them using the Admin Console.

• The RADIUS server is disabled.

Default Web Gateway Configuration

The web gateway has the following characteristics:

• The port used by the web gateway is 1760.

• The templates used to configure the display of directory information are /etc/opt/SUNWconn/ldap/current/locale/C/dswebtmpl.conf.

Default NIS Configuration

The NIS service is disabled.
