Directory Express and Default Gateway
Chapter 1 Introduction 23
Directory Express
The configuration file for Directory Express is
serverRoot/clients/dsgw/context/pb.conf.
During Directory Server installation, Directory Express is configured to use the Red Hat
Administration Server installed with the directory as its HTTP server.
Following Directory Server installation, Directory Express can be accessed from
http://adminHost:adminPort/
or directly using this URL:
http://adminHost:adminPort/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?context=pb
HTTP Server Requirements for Gateways
A gateway instance requires an HTTP server that can communicate with Directory Server.
For optimum performance and highest security, the gateway should be configured to run
under a high-performance HTTP server, such as the Red Hat Enterprise Server.
For more information, see “HTTP Server Configuration,” on page 32.
Directory Express and Default Gateway
The following sections describe Directory Express and the Default Gateway in detail:
• Directory Express (pb.conf)
• Default Gateway (dsgw.conf)
Directory Express (pb.conf)
Directory Express is a basic directory lookup tool that can be used out of the box.
