Gateway Installation Planning
30 Red Hat Directory Server Gateway Customization Guide • April 2005
Two gateway instances are installed during Directory Server installation: Red Hat
Directory Express (Directory Express) and the default gateway. The configuration files
(
pb.conf and dsgw.conf) for the two instances are stored in the
serverRoot/clients/dsgw/context directory. Additional gateways can be created by
customizing Directory Express or the default gateway.
Gateway Cloning
Unique gateway instances may have unique HTML directories (for example,
..clients/dsgw/mythml) and template directories (for example,
..clients/dsgw/myconfig). However, gateways may also be cloned to use identical
HTML and template directories while pointing to different Directory Servers or different
suffixes on a Directory Server.
For more information on cloning the gateway, see “Gateway Cloning,” on page 37.
Securing Gateway Configuration and Settings
The following sections describe procedure for protecting the configuration information of
your gateway.
• Protecting Bind DN and Password
• Protecting Root Processes on UNIX Systems
