3.2. Creating a New Database Link

The basic configuration of the database link involves the following information:

Suffix information. A suffix is created in the directory tree that is managed by the database link, not a regular database. This suffix corresponds to the suffix on the remote server that contains the data.

Bind credentials. When the database link binds to a remote server, it impersonates a user, and this specifies the DN and the credentials for each database link to use to bind with remote servers.

LDAP URL. This supplies the LDAP URL of the remote server to which the database link connects.

List of failover servers. This supplies a list of alternative servers for the database link to contact in the event of a failure. This configuration item is optional.

3.2.1. Creating a New Database Link Using the Console

To create a new database link using the Directory Server Console:

1.In the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab.

2.Right-click Data in the left navigation pane, and select New Root Suffix or New Sub Suffix from the pop-up menu.

A Create New Suffix dialog box is displayed.

3.Enter the name of the suffix on the remote server to which to chain the suffix in the New suffix field.
