11.7.1 Web-Based Graphical User Interface
A Web-based graphical user interface has been provided to ease the task of
administration of the AIX Stand-alone LDAP Directory server. An administrator is
able to use a Web browser to do initial set-up of the directory, change
configuration options, and manage the day-to-day operation of the server. HTML
panels are presented through the browser to guide the administrator in viewing or
changing the following:
• General server settings
• General database/back end settings
• Performance tuning options
• Directory server activity/performance data
• Directory replication configuration
and management of the following:
• Start up and shutdown of the directory server
• Access control lists
• Group membership
• Security measures (encryption options, server certificate management)
• Database creation, backup, and restore
11.7.2 Command Line Utilities
There are two command line utilities provided:
•LDIF2DB
•DB2LDIF
The LDIF2DB command line utility creates a directory database in DB2 based on
the directory entries specified in LDAP Directory Interchange Format (LDIF)
format in an input file.
The DB2LDIF command line utility creates a standard LDIF format file containing all
the data from the specified DB2 directory database.
A set of command line utilities to perform LDAP operations has been included as
a sample. These utilities are:
• ldapsearch
• ldapadd
• ldapmodify
• ldapdelete
• ldapmoddn
• ldapcompare
11.7.3 Other Administrative Procedures
Definition of the Directory Schema (object classes, attribute types, and directory
structure) is managed through ASCII configuration files. A default schema
definition is shipped in the configuration files with the product. To add to the
defaults, the administrator must edit these configuration files. In this initial
release, the administrator is allowed to add object class definitions, attribute type
definitions, or directory structure rules.
