Setting Up the Suffix for Adding Entries
The location-suffix parameter is defined in dsgw.conf and identifies the suffix under
which the gateway creates new entries in the directory. The
location-suffix parameter
can point to any suffix in a directory.
Setting the
location-suffix parameter is described in “include,” on page 98. The Red
Hat Directory Server Administrator’s Guide describes the
Suffix parameter and provides
syntax examples. Setting the root suffix is also described in the Red Hat Directory Server
Installation Guide.
Setting Up SSL Support
When the Directory Server is installed, the gateway is configured to communicate with the
Directory Server using a non-SSL host name and port number. This information is stored in
the
baseurl parameter.
Configuring the gateway to use SSL when communicating with the Directory Server
requires modification of the
securitypath and baseurl parameters in dsgw.conf.
