Anonymous and Non-Anonymous Searching
Chapter 1 Introduction 27
http://adminHost:adminPort/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?context=<context>
The default gateway and Directory Express are available from the page for the Red Hat
Administration Server (
http://adminHost:adminPort).
Anonymous and Non-Anonymous Searching
The gateway supports both anonymous and non-anonymous searching. Anonymous
searching provides basic permissions for accessing information in the user directory. A bind
DN and bind password, stored in a
binddnfile, can be set up for users to authenticate to
the Directory Server. User permissions for directory access can be defined in the Red Hat
Console.
If the Directory Server contains authentication credentials for a user, these override the bind
DN and bind password in the gateway’s
binndnfile parameter. When authentication
credentials expire or are invalid, the gateway attempts to authenticate the user to the
directory using the
binddnfile. When no binddnfile is specified, the gateway instance
binds anonymously.
binddnfile
The location of the binddnfile containing bind DNs and bind passwords for individual
users and groups of users is specified in the gateway’s
.conf file.
Automatic Updates to Directory Configuration
A script that updates gateway instances with changes to Directory Server configuration,
updatedsgw, is included with the Directory Server installation. This script searches
serverRoot/clients/dsgw/context for gateway instances that match the Directory
Server host and port.
NOTE The
binddnfile contains highly sensitive information. Do not store the
binddnfile under serverRoot/clients/dsgw or in any directory that is
served up over HTTP (for instance,
/bin/slapd/server is a good place
to store the
binddnfile).
