Server Configuration - Overview
Chapter 2 Core Server Configuration Reference 31
Some of these attributes are common to all plug-ins, and some may be particular to
a specific plug-in. You can check which attributes are currently being used by a
given plug-in by performing an
ldapsearch
on the
cn=config
subtree.
For a list of plug-ins supported by Directory Server, general plug-in configuration
information, the plug-in configuration attribute reference, and a list of plug-ins
requiring restart, see chapter 3, “Plug-in Implemented Server Functionality
Reference.”
Configuration of Databases
The
cn=NetscapeRoot
and
cn=UserRoot
subtrees contain configuration data for
the databases containing the
o=NetscapeRoot
and
o=UserRoot
suffixes.
• The
cn=NetscapeRoot
subtree contains the configuration data used by the
Red Hat Administration Server for authentication and all actions that cannot
be performed through LDAP (such as start/stop).
• The
cn=UserRoot
subtree contains all the configuration data for the first
user-defined database created during server installation. The
cn=UserRoot
subtree is called
UserRoot
by default. However, this is not hard-coded, and,
given the fact that there will be multiple database instances, this name will be
changed and defined by the user at the time new databases are added.
Configuration of Indexes
Configuration information for indexing is stored as entries in the Directory Server
under the following information-tree nodes:
•
cn=index,cn=NetscapeRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
•
cn=index,cn=UserRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
•
cn=default indexes,cn=config,cn=ldbm database,
cn=plugins,cn=config
For more information regarding indexes in general, see Red Hat Directory Server
Administrator’s Guide. For information regarding the index configuration attributes,
see “Database Attributes under cn=default indexes,cn=config,cn=ldbm database,
cn=plugins,cn=config,” on page 181. The attributes are presented here because this
node is the first to appear in our representation of the configuration attributes that
is based on the
cn=config
information tree.
