Configuration File Format.
The configuration file defines the following:
• The connection parameters for connecting to the LDAP servers to get replication information;
specifying this information is mandatory.
• The server alias for more readable server names; specifying this information is optional.
• The color thresholds for time lags; specifying this information is optional.
The format for the configuration file is shown below.
[connection]
host:port:binddn:bindpwd:bindcert
host:port:binddn:bindpwd:bindcert
...
[alias]
alias = host:port
alias = host:port
...
[color]
lowmark = color
lowmark = color
The connection section defines how this tool may connect to each LDAP server in the
replication topology to get the replication-agreement information. The default binddn is
cn=Directory Manager. Simple bind will be used unless bindcert is specified with the path of a
certificate database.
A server may have a dedicated or shared entry in the connection section. The script will find out
the most matched entry for a given server. For example, if all the LDAP servers except host1
share the same binddn and bindpassword, the connection section will need to contain just two
entries:
[connection]
*:*:binddn:bindpassword:
