Directory Service Control Center Interface

Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) is a user interface that enables you to manage Directory Servers and Directory Proxy Servers by using a browser.

To configure DSCC, see Configuring DSCC. For information about using DSCC, see the following sections.

Administration Users for DSCC

DSCC has a few administration logins.

To Access DSCC

If you experience any difficulty accessing DSCC, see Chapter 8, Troubleshooting DSCC Problems, in Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Troubleshooting Guide.

  1. Ensure that DSCC has been correctly installed, as described in Chapter 2, Installing Directory Server Enterprise Edition, in Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Installation Guide.
  2. Access DSCC directly in your preferred application server by typing the DSCC host URL. DSCC host URL can be any of the following depending on the configuration of your application server.
    https://hostname:8181/dscc7

    or

    http://hostname:8080/dscc7

    where hostname is the system on which you installed the DSCC software.

  3. Log in to DSCC.

    If this is the first time that you log in to DSCC, you must set the Directory Service Manager password. On subsequent logins, use the password that you set on the first login.

    You are now logged into DSCC and at the Common Tasks tab.

  4. Navigate by using the tabs.
    • The Common Tasks tab contains shortcuts to commonly used windows and wizards.

    • The Directory Servers tab displays all Directory Servers managed by DSCC. To see more options for managing and configuring a particular server, click the server name.

    • The Proxy Servers tab displays all Directory Proxy Servers managed by DSCC. To see more options for managing and configuring a particular server, click the server name.


    Note - For instructions on how to perform tasks using DSCC, see the DSCConline help.

DSCC Command Line Interface

Following are the commands that help you work with DSCC.

dsccsetup command

The dsccsetup command helps in setting up DSCC. When used with appropriate subcommands, the dsccsetup command performs the operations such as creating the DSCC registry, initializing DSCC after installation, and registering local agents of the administration framework.

For more information, see dsccsetup(1M)

dsccreg command

The dsccreg command registers Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server instances with DSCC.

For more information, see dsccreg(1M)

DSCC Tabs Description

Use the tabs in DSCC to navigate the interface.

Common Tasks Tab

The Common Tasks tab (see Figure 29-1) is the first interface that you see when opening DSCC. It contains links to commonly used administrative tasks, such as searching directory data, checking logs, and managing servers.

Directory Servers Tab

The Directory Servers tab (see Figure 29-2) lists all directory servers registered in DSCC. For each server, you can see the server status and instance path, which shows where the instance is located.

When you click a server name, you see another window with a different set of tabs that relate only to that server.

Proxy Servers Tab

The Proxy Servers tab lists all the directory proxy servers that are registered in DSCC. For each server, you can see the server status and the server instance path, which shows where the instance resides.

When you click a server name, you see another window with a different set of tabs that relate only to that server.

Server Groups Tab

The Server Groups tab enables you to assign servers to groups, to make server management easier. If you have numerous servers, you can use filters to display only the servers in a certain group. You can also copy the server configuration (for example index or cache settings) from one server to all other servers in a group.

Settings Tab

This tab displays DSCC port numbers and allows you to create and delete Directory Service Managers.

DSCC Online Help

The online help provides the following:

You can access help from most pages by clicking the Help button on the top right corner of the screen. From within a wizard, you can access help by clicking the Help tab. You can also access the online help from the Common Tasks tab.
