HP AED Utility Functions
For the following operations the GUI relies on
the HP AED Utility:
x Displaying a list of the available
schema files
x Creating a new schema file
x Editing an existing schema file
x Recompiling the schema
x Restarting the DSA
x Editing the DSA Characteristics
The system manager can decide whether or not
the HP AED Utility should be enabled on any
given server. The GUI only requires that the
HP AED Utility be available in order to carry
out the functions listed above. Other
administrative operations (such as viewing and
updating the contents of the DSA) do not
require the HP AED Utility to be running.
Use of the HP AED Utility is dependant upon
a management password that is specific and
should be made unique to the Utility.
Communication between the HP AED and the
Utility is performed using an SSL-secured
connection. The TCP port number is
configurable and is set to 907 be default.
Security and Authentication
An authentication mechanism is available to
ensure security and integrity of the DSAs and
Schema.
For DSA Management operations the HP AED
communicates with a Utility programme that
runs on the same node as the target DSA.
Access to this utility is restricted by password
that will be supplied by the system manager to
trusted administrators etc.
For operations that involve multiple DSAs
e.g. setting up a subordinate reference, the HP
AED makes checks on all DSAs involved
before proceeding, and will issue appropriate
diagnostic information in the case of
inconsistency.
Internet Protocol V6 Support
Client and server modules in the HP Enterprise
Directory product have been enabled to
support IPv6 in a pure IPv4, pure IPv6 or dual
IPv4/v6 environment.
The supported servers in the DSA discover the
configured protocols (IPv4, IPv6) on the
system. In a DECnet-less environment, if IPv6
is configured on a particular system, the
servers initialize to ‘listen’ on IPv6, else they
fall back to ‘listening’ on IPv4.
Similarly the supported clients (and client
APIs) in the DSA have been modified to
connect to the server making use of the user
provided or stored address of the server host. If
this attempt fails, then all the configured
addresses of the server host are locally
resolved. Then an attempt is made to establish
a connection on each of the resolved address
(IPv4, IPv6) successively, till either a
successful connection is established or the
resolved addresses are exhausted.
Supported Platforms
The HP AED has been tested and certified
with the following platforms:
x Windows 2000 SP4
or
x Windows XP SP2
with
x Java2 Runtime Environment V1.5
and
x Connection to an IP network
