Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server 5 2004Q2

> LDAP Server Property Settings Tab
> This tab displays basic settings of the LDAP server referred to by this property.

> Name. Enter a name for this property.

> Host. Enter a value specifying the full DNS or IP address name of the host where the backend LDAP server is running. This attribute is mandatory.

> Port. Enter a number specifying the port number on which the backend LDAP server is running. The default port used if this attribute is absent is 389.

> SSL port. Enter a number specifying the port number on which the backend server listens for LDAPS (LDAP over SSL) connections. Note that this is the non-standard mechanism for supporting LDAP over SSL. Do not set any value for this attribute if the backend LDAP server does not support LDAPS.

> Keep alive interval. Enter the number of seconds after which Directory Proxy Server will poke an unresponsive server, to determine if the network link to an LDAP directory server is down or if the LDAP directory server has become unresponsive. If the client connected to Directory Proxy Server has pending operations and if Directory Proxy Server has not received any data from the connection's LDAP server for the number of seconds specified by ids-proxy-con-keepalive-interval attribute, then Directory Proxy Server will test the availability of the LDAP server by opening another communication channel to it. If Directory Proxy Server is unsuccessful in doing so, it will fail over to another LDAP server, if available. If it is successful in establishing a second channel, Directory Proxy Server will wait for another interval to receive data from the LDAP server. If Directory Proxy Server has still not received any data from the LDAP directory server, it will assume that the LDAP server is in an unresponsive state and fail over to another directory server, if available. The default value for this attribute is 180 seconds. It is recommended that you increase this value if the LDAP server is not on the same local network as Directory Proxy Server.

> Enable TCP no delay. Disable this setting to cause Directory Proxy Server to use the Nagel Algorithm on connections to this server. This option must be disabled only if the network bandwidth between Directory Proxy Server and the server defined by this object entry is very limited. By default, this setting is enabled.
