This section describes the elements of the proxy server configuration that can be managed with Oracle Directory Services Manager.
If you have set up a proxy server instance without configuring either load balancing or distribution, you can configure load balancing by using ODSM. Before you begin, it is useful to understand the components that make up a load balancing deployment. For more information, see Configuration 1: Simple Load Balancing in Oracle Fusion Middleware Deployment Planning Guide for Oracle Unified Directory.
To configure load balancing by using ODSM, peform the following steps:
Connect to the proxy server from ODSM, as described in Connecting to the Server From Oracle Directory Services Manager.
Select the Home tab.
Under the Configuration item, select Set up Load Balancer.
On the Load Balancing: Backend Servers screen, complete the following information:
In the Load Balancing Name field, provide a name for this load balancing workflow element.
Click Add to provide the connection details of at least two replicated backend LDAP servers across which client requests will be balanced.
ODSM attempts to connect to these backend LDAP servers, to verify that they are accessible. If the connection attempt is unsuccessful, you are prompted to use the server details anyway, or to verify the connection details.
When you have added all the backend LDAP servers, click Next to continue.
On the Load Balancing: Options screen, complete the following information:
Select the Load Balancing Algorithm.
Depending on the load balancing algorithm you have selected, specify the relative weight or priority for each backend LDAP server.
For information about the load balancing algorithms, see Load Balancing Using the Proxy in Oracle Fusion Middleware Deployment Planning Guide for Oracle Unified Directory.
When you have specified the load balancing options, click Next to continue.
On the Load Balancing: Naming Contexts screen, click Add to specify at least one naming context, or suffix, that will be handled by this proxy instance.
When you have added all of the required naming contexts, click Next to continue.
On the Load Balancing Setup: Summary screen, review the load balancing configuration and click Finish to complete the configuration.
When you have configured load balancing, you can modify any aspect of the configuration on the ODSM Configuration tab.
If you have set up a proxy server instance without configuring either load balancing or distribution, you can configure distribution by using ODSM. Before you begin, it is useful to understand the components that make up a distribution deployment. For more information, see Configuration 2: Simple Distribution in Oracle Fusion Middleware Deployment Planning Guide for Oracle Unified Directory.
To configure distribution by using ODSM, peform the following steps:
Connect to the proxy server from ODSM, as described in Connecting to the Server From Oracle Directory Services Manager.
Select the Home tab.
Under the Configuration item, select Set Up Distributor.
On the Distribution: Data Partitioning screen, complete the following information:
Select the Number of Partitions.
Select the Distribution Algorithm. For more information about the available distribution algorithms, see Data Distribution Using the Proxy in Oracle Fusion Middleware Deployment Planning Guide for Oracle Unified Directory.
Enter the Naming Context, or suffix, that will be handled in this distribution deployment.
Select the Network Group in which the distributor will be configured.
Enter the capacity, DN Pattern, or boundaries for each partition, depending on the distribution algorithm that you have selected.
When you have entered all of the partition details, click Next to continue.
On the Distribution: Server Partitions, for each partition, click Add to enter the connection details of each backend LDAP server that will hold the partitioned data.
ODSM attempts to connect to these backend LDAP servers, to verify that they are accessible. If the connection attempt is unsuccessful, you are prompted to use the server details anyway, or to verify the connection details.
When you have added all of the required servers, click Next to continue.
On the Distribution: Global Index screen, specify the global index details. For more information about global indexes, see Global Index Catalog in Oracle Fusion Middleware Deployment Planning Guide for Oracle Unified Directory.
When you have configured the global index, click Next to continue.
On the Distribution: Summary screen, review the distribution configuration and click Finish to complete the configuration.
When you have configured distribution, you can modify any aspect of the configuration on the ODSM Configuration tab.
