What Is a Gateway?
22 Red Hat Directory Server Gateway Customization Guide • April 2005
Gateways Installed with Directory Server
Two gateway instances are installed during Directory Server installation: the default
gateway and Directory Express. Both gateways are configured to use the suffix set when
the Directory Server was configured and non-SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
communications.
For more information, see “Location of Gateway Files,” on page 29.
Default Gateway
The configuration file for the default gateway is at
serverRoot/clients/dsgw/context/dsgw.conf.
Following Directory Server installation, the default gateway can be accessed from
http://adminHost:adminPort/
or by directly using this URL:
http://adminHost:adminPort/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?context=dsgw
NOTE A Java gateway based on the DSML protocol is also installed with
Directory Server. For more information on using and configuring the
DSML gateway, refer to the Red Hat Directory Server DSML Gateway
Guide.
