This chapter describes attributes that control the LDAP server. See Chapter 39, "Managing Replication Configuration Attributes" for information about attributes that control the replication server.
This chapter contains the following topics:
Managing System Configuration Attributes by Using Fusion Middleware Control
Managing System Configuration Attributes by Using LDAP Tools
Managing System Configuration Attributes by Using ODSM Data Browser
This introduction contains the following topics:
Most Oracle Internet Directory configuration information is stored in the directory itself. The information is stored as attributes of specific configuration entries. You must have superuser privileges to set system configuration attributes.
Some configuration attributes are specific to an individual instance of the Oracle Internet Directory server. Instance-specific attributes are located in the instance-specific configuration entry, a specific subentry of the Oracle Internet Directory instance entry. Figure 8-1, "DIT Showing Two Instance-Specific Configuration Entries" show s the location of these entries in the DIT.
Some configuration attributes are shared by all Oracle Internet Directory server instances in a WebLogic Server domain that are connected to the same database. Shared attributes reside in the DSA Configuration entry. Replication-specific attributes reside in the Replica Subentry, Replication Configuration, and Replication Agreement Entry.
Some attributes reside in the DSE Root. Most of those are non-configurable.
You can manage all the configuration attributes from the command-line. In addition, many of the configuration attributes have specific, task-oriented management interfaces in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control or Oracle Directory Services Manager. You can also use the Data Browser feature of Oracle Directory Services Manager to manage the entries directly.
During installation, Oracle Identity Management 11g Installer creates an instance-specific configuration entry for the first Oracle Internet Directory instance. It copies default values from a read-only entry under cn=configset0
. (You can specify different values for the SSL port and non-SSL during the install.)
The DN of an instance-specific configuration entry has the form:
cn=componentname,cn=osdldapd,cn=subconfigsubentry
For example, if the component name for a server instance is oid1
,then the DIT of the instance-specific configuration entry would be:
cn=oid1,cn=osdldapd,cn=subconfigsubentry
Table 9-1 lists the attributes of the instance-specific configuration entry. In the Update Mechanism column, EM
refers to Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control and LDAP
refers to the LDAP command-line tools. See "Managing System Configuration Attributes by Using Fusion Middleware Control" and "Managing System Configuration Attributes by Using LDAP Tools".

You can view and set most of the configuration attributes for an Oracle directory server by using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control.
This section contains the following topics:
You can configure most of the attributes in the instance-specific configuration entry by using the Oracle Internet Directory Server Properties pages of Fusion Middleware Control., as follows:
Select Administration, then Server Properties from the Oracle Internet Directory menu.
Select General, Performance, SASL, Statistics, or Logging, depending on which parameters you want to configure.
After changing the configuration, choose Apply.
The correspondence between server properties and configuration attributes on the General tab of the Server Properties page is shown in Table 9-4.
General
Table 9-4 Configuration Attributes on Server Properties Page, General Tab.
Performance
The correspondence between server properties and configuration attributes on the Performance tab of the Server Properties page is shown in Table 9-5
Table 9-5 Configuration Attributes on Server Properties Page, Performance Tab
Restart the server after changing orclserverprocs
, orclmaxcc
, orcldispthreads
, or orclpluginworkers
.
SASL
The correspondence between server properties and configuration attributes on the SASL tab of the Server Properties page is shown in Table 31-1, "Configuration Attributes on Server Properties, SASL Tab".
Statistics
The correspondence between server properties and configuration attributes on the Statistics tab of the Server Properties page is shown in Table 23-2, "Configuration Attributes on Server Properties Page, Statistics Tab".
Logging
The correspondence between server properties and configuration attributes on the Logging tab of the Server Properties page is shown in Table 22-2, "Configuration Attributes on Server Properties Page, Logging Tab".
You can configure some of the shared system configuration attributes in the DSA configuration entry by using the Oracle Internet Directory Shared Properties page of Fusion Middleware Control. Select Administration, then Shared Properties, then select General, Change Superuser Password, or Replication from the Oracle Internet Directory menu. After changing the configuration, choose Apply. The correspondence is as follows:
General
Table 9-6 Configuration Attributes on Shared Properties Page, General Tab
Field or Heading | Configuration Attribute |
---|---|
A server restart is recommended after changing orclskiprefinsql
or orclskewedattribute
.
Change Superuser Password
See "Changing the Superuser Password by Using Fusion Middleware Control".
Replication
Replication-related attributes are described in Chapter 39, "Managing Replication Configuration Attributes." See "Configuring Attributes on the Shared Properties, Replication Tab"
You can configure SSL parameters by using the Oracle Internet Directory SSL Configuration Page. See "Configuring SSL by Using Fusion Middleware Control". You must restart the server for SSL configuration changes to take effect.
You can configure Audit attributes by using the Oracle Internet Directory Audit Policy Settings page. See "Managing Auditing by Using Fusion Middleware Control".
A managed bean (MBean) is a Java object that represents a JMX manageable resource in a distributed environment, such as an application, a service, a component or a device. The WebLogic server uses custom MBeans as its interface to OPMN-managed components, such as Oracle Internet Directory. You can use the WebLogic Scripting Tool (wlst
) in the Oracle Common home to manage the attributes of the Oracle Internet Directory instance-specific configuration entry that have Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control interfaces.
Note: WLST manages Oracle Internet Directory through its SSL port. The Oracle Internet Directory SSL port must be configured for no authentication or server authentication. If the Oracle Internet Directory SSL port is configured for mutual authentication, you will not be able to change Oracle Internet Directory parameters by using WLST. See "SSL Authentication Modes". |
See Also:
|
You use WLST as follows:
Invoke WLST
ORACLE_COMMON_HOME/common/bin/wlst.sh
Connect to the WebLogic server
connect('username', 'password', 'localhost:7001')
To navigate to the custom mbean tree, type:
custom()
at the wlst prompt.
To get a one-level list of the MBean in the custom MBean tree, type:
ls()
In the ls()
output, you see two domains that contain MBeans that are related to Oracle Internet Directory configuration. The domains are oracle.as.management.mbeans.register
and oracle.as.oid
.
To get to a domain, use the cd()
command. For example:
cd('oracle.as.management.mbeans.register')
or
cd('oracle.as.oid')
If you type ls()
, you see a list of MBeans in that domain. There are three MBeans related to Oracle Internet Directory configuration under oracle.as.management.mbeans.register
and two under oracle.as.oid
. Table 9-7lists them.
Table 9-7 Oracle Internet Directory-Related MBeans
MBean Name | MBean Domain | MBean Format in ls() Output |
---|---|---|
Root Proxy MBean |
oracle.as.management.mbeans.register |
oracle.as.management.mbeans.register:type=component,name=COMPONENT_NAME,instance=INSTANCE |
Non-SSL Port MBean |
oracle.as.management.mbeans.register |
oracle.as.management.mbeans.register:type=component.nonsslport,name=nonsslport1,instance=INSTANCE,component=COMPONENT_NAME |
Audit MBean |
oracle.as.management.mbeans.register |
oracle.as.management.mbeans.register:type=component.auditconfig,name=auditconfig1,instance=INSTANCE,component=COMPONENT_NAME |
SSL Port MBean |
oracle.as.oid |
oracle.as.oid:type=component.sslconfig,name=sslport1,instance=INSTANCE,component=COMPONENT_NAME |
Key Store MBean |
oracle.as.oid |
oracle.as.oid:type=component.keystore,name=keystore,instance=INSTANCE,component=COMPONENT_NAME |
INSTANCE and COMPONENT_NAME refer to the Oracle instance where your Oracle Internet Directory component is located and the name of the component, respectively.
Note: The Audit MBean is shown here for completeness, but you use different commands for managing auditing by usingwlst . See "Managing Auditing by Using WLST". |
To get to a specific MBean, type:
cd('MBEAN_NAME')
For example, if you are in the domain oracle.as.management.mbeans.register
, and you want to manage the Root Proxy MBean for Oracle Internet Directory component oid1
in Oracle instance instance1
, type:
cd('oracle.as.management.mbeans.register:type=OID,name=oid1,instance=instance1')
Once you have navigated to the desired MBean, you can get the current value for an attribute by typing:
get('ATTRIBUTE_NAME')
For example, to get the value for orclserverprocs
, type:
get('orcldebugflag')
Before you make any changes to attributes, you must ensure that the MBean has the current server configuration. To do that, load the configuration from Oracle Internet Directory server to the mbean. Type:
invoke('load',jarray.array([],java.lang.Object),jarray.array([],java.lang.String))
Then you can use the set command to set a specific attribute. Type:
set('ATTRIBUTE_NAME', ATTRIBUTE_VALUE)
For example, to set orclserverprocs
= 12
, type:
set('orcldebugflag', 12)
After making changes, you must save the MBean configuration to the Oracle Internet Directory server. Type:
invoke('save',jarray.array([],java.lang.Object),jarray.array([],java.lang.String))
From the command line, you can modify most system configuration attributes by using ldapmodify
and list most system configuration by using ldapsearch
.
You can modify most attributes in Table 9-1, Table 9-2, and Table 9-3 by using the command-line:
ldapmodify -D cn=orcladmin -q -p portNum -h hostname -f ldifFile
The contents of the LDIF file depends on the DN and the operation being performed.
The LDIF file for changing the value of the orclgeneratechangelog
attribute in the instance-specific entry to 1
would be:
dn: cn=componentname,cn=osdldapd,cn=subconfigsubentry
changetype: modify
modify: orclgeneratechangelog
orclgeneratechangelog: 1
The LDIF file for adding the orclinmemfiltprocess
attribute to the DSA configuration entry would be:
dn: cn=dsaconfig, cn=configsets, cn=oracle internet directory changetype: modify add: orclinmemfiltprocess orclinmemfiltprocess: (objectclass=inetorgperson)(orclisenabled=TRUE)
Note:
|

You can use ldapsearch
to list most attributes.
Instance-Specific Configuration Entry
If the component name for a server instance is oid1
,then you can list the attributes in the instance-specific configuration entry with a command line such as:
ldapsearch -p 3060 -h myhost.example.com -D cn=orcladmin -q \ -b "cn=oid1,cn=osdldapd,cn=subconfigsubentry" -s base "objectclass=*"
DSA Configuration Entry
You can list the attributes with the command line:
ldapsearch -p 3060 -h myhost.example.com -D cn=orcladmin -q \ -b "cn=dsaconfig,cn=configsets,cn=oracle internet directory" \ -s base "objectclass=*"
DSE
You can list the attributes with the command line:
ldapsearch -p 3060 -h myhost.example.com -D cn=orcladmin -q \ -b "" -s base "objectclass=*"
Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control is the recommended graphical user interface for managing system configuration attributes. You can also use ODSM to manage system configuration attributes, which can be useful if Fusion Middleware Control is not available or if you must modify an attribute that has no Fusion Middleware Control interface.
See "Managing Entries by Using Oracle Directory Services Manager" for detailed instructions for changing the attributes of a directory entry. The following sections explain how to get to the entries that contain system configuration attributes in ODSM.
On the Data Browser tab, in the navigation tree, expand subconfigsubentry
, then osdldapd
. Then select the name of the Oracle Internet Directory component you want to manage.
On the Data Browser tab, in the navigation tree, expand oracle internet directory
, then configsets
, then select the entry dsaconfig
.
