Sun Microsystems 8190994 manual Migrating Directory Proxy Server, Mapping the Global Configuration

Migrating Directory Proxy Server

There is no automatic migration path to move from a previous version to Directory Proxy Server 6.0. Directory Proxy Server 6.0 provides much more functionality than previous versions. While a one to one mapping of configuration information is therefore not possible in most instances, it is possible to configure Directory Proxy Server 6.0 to behave like a version 5 server for compatibility.

This chapter describes how the configuration properties in Directory Proxy Server 6.0 can be used to simulate a version 5 configuration.

The chapter covers the following topics:

■“Mapping the Global Configuration” on page 83

■“Mapping the Connection Pool Configuration” on page 87

■“Mapping the Groups Configuration” on page 88

■“Mapping the Properties Configuration” on page 97

■“Mapping the Events Configuration” on page 103

■“Mapping the Actions Configuration” on page 104

■“Configuring Directory Proxy Server 6.0 as a Simple Connection-Based Router” on page 104

Mapping the Global Configuration

Before you change the Directory Proxy Server 6.0 configuration, back up the configuration by using the dpadm backup command. For more information, see dpadm(1M).

You can configure Directory Proxy Server 6.0 by using the Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) or the dpconf command-line utility. For more information, see dpconf(1M).

Directory Proxy Server 6.0 configuration can be retrieved as a set of properties. For example, information about the port is returned in the listen-port property. This section describes how to map the version 5 global configuration attributes to the corresponding properties in Directory Proxy Server 6.0, where applicable. Not all functionality can be mapped directly.
