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.
The LDAP directory service has the following characteristics:
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.
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".
The directory contains no entries (the name and password for the administrator are stored in the configuration file).
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.
The web gateway has the following characteristics:
The templates used to configure the display of directory information are /etc/opt/SUNWconn/ldap/current/locale/C/dswebtmpl.conf.
The NIS service is disabled.
