Server property settings

Use this information to set the server properties.

You can set the following properties for your server:

While the Web Administration Tool is the preferred method, updates to the server configuration file can be made by using LDAP utilities. The LDAP modify requests can be generated by:

A C-application by using the C-client that is provided with IBM® Security Verify Directory.
A Java™ application by using JNDI.
Any other interface that generates a standard V3 LDAP.

Examples that are provided use the idsldapmodify command.

The idsldapmodify command can be run either in interactive mode or with input specified in a file. For most examples, the file contents to be used with the idsldapmodify command are supplied. The general form of the command to use with these files is as follows:

idsldapmodify -D adminDN —w password —i filename

To update the server configuration settings dynamically, you need to enter the following idsldapexop commands. This command updates all configuration settings that are dynamic:

idsldapexop -D adminDN -w adminPW -op readconfig -scope entire

This command updates a single setting.

idsldapexop -D adminDN -wadminPW -op readconfig -scope single entry DN
attribute

The idsldapexop command updates only those attributes that are dynamic. For other changes to take effect, you must stop and restart the server. For a list of the attributes that can be updated dynamically, see Dynamically-changed attributes. For more information, see the idsldapmodify and idsldapexop command information in the Command Reference.

Note: Only the administrator and members of the administrative group are allowed to update the server configuration settings.
