Gateway Search Configuration Files
Chapter 4 File Controlling Gateway Functionality 51
• The locations where new entries can be created within the directory.
• The types of entries that can be created.
• The search base.
• Whether the gateway uses SSL communications.
dsgw.conf
dsgw.conf is the configuration file for the default gateway. dsgw.conf is invoked at:
http://adminHost:adminPort/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?context=dsgw
pb.conf
pb.conf is the configuration file for Directory Express, a gateway customized as a
directory lookup tool.
pb.conf is invoked at:
http://adminHost:adminPort/clients/dsgw/bin/search?context=pb
Gateway configuration parameters are defined in Appendix A, “Parameters Defined in the
.conf File.”
Gateway Search Configuration Files
Gateway search configuration files determine how the gateway queries information in the
directory and returns search results to the users. Gateway search configuration files are
stored in the
serverRoot/clients/dsgw/config directory. All gateway instances for a
Directory Server use these common search configuration files.
•
dsgwsearchprefs.conf
This file specifies the object classes and object class attributes than can be searched.
•
dsgwfilter.conf
This file specifies the search filters used to search for a particular object class. The
gateway uses this file when performing a standard search operation.
The
dsgwsearchprefs.conf and dsgwfilter.conf files are discussed in Chapter 6,
“Search Attributes, Filters, and Results.”
