Configuring Listeners Between Clients and Directory Proxy Server

Directory Proxy Server provides a secure listener and a non-secure listener for communication with clients. For information about listeners for Directory Proxy Server, see Directory Proxy Server Client Listeners in Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Reference. This section describes how to configure the listeners.

To Configure the Listeners Between a Client and Directory Proxy Server

You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help. In DSCC, you can configure this property on the Performance tab.

1. View the properties of the non-secure listener.

   $ dpconf get-ldap-listener-prop -h host -p port

   The default properties of the non-secure listener are as follows:

   connection-idle-timeout          :  1h
   connection-read-data-timeout     :  2s
   connection-write-data-timeout    :  1h
   is-enabled                       :  true
   listen-address                   :  0.0.0.0
   listen-port                      :  port-number
   max-connection-queue-size        :  128
   max-ldap-message-size            :  unlimited
   number-of-threads                :  2
   use-tcp-keep-alive               :  true
   use-tcp-no-delay                 :  true

2. Change one or more of properties that are listed in Step 1 according to your requirements.

   $ dpconf set-ldap-listener-prop -h host -p port property:new-value

   For example, to disable the non-secure port for an instance of Directory Proxy Server running on host1, run the following command:

   $ dpconf set-ldap-listener-prop -h host1 -p 1389 is-enabled:false

   ---

   Caution - If you plan to use a privileged port number, you must run Directory Proxy Server as root.

   ---

   To change the non-secure port number, run the following command:

   $ dpconf set-ldap-listener-prop -h host -p port listen-port:new-port-number

3. If necessary, restart the instance of Directory Proxy Server for the changes to take effect.

   Changes to certain listener properties require a server restart. dpconf alerts you if the server must be restarted. For information about restarting Directory Proxy Server, see To Restart Directory Proxy Server.
