Configuring subtree views
About this task
You provide clients access to a specific portion of the DIT creating a subtree view and assigning it to a client connection policy. You can configure subtree views from the command line or using the administrative console.
When you create a subtree view, you provide the following information to configure its properties:
-
Subtree view name
-
Base DN managed by the subtree view
-
Request processor used by the subtree view to route requests. If one does not exist already, you will create a new one.
Steps
-
Use
dsconfig
to configure a subtree view. -
In the PingDirectoryProxy server’s main menu, enter the number associated with subtree view configuration.
-
In the Subtree View menu, enter the number corresponding to creating a new subtree view.
-
Enter a name for the subtree view.
-
Enter the base DN of the subtree managed by this subtree view.
Example:
Enter a value for the ‘base-dn’ property:dc=example,dc=com
-
Select a request processor for this subtree view to route requests or make the appropriate selection to create a new one.
Example:
Select a Request Processor for the ‘request-processor’ property: 1) dc_example_dc_com-req-processor 2) Create a new Request Processor ?) help c) cancel q) quit Enter choice [c]: 1
-
Review the properties of the subtree view. If you are satisfied, enter
f
to finish.Example:
>>>> Configure the properties of the Subtree View >>>> via creating 'example.com' Subtree View Property Value(s) -------------------------------------------------- 1) description - 2) base-dn "dc=example,dc=com" 3) request-processor dc_example_dc_com-req-processor ?) help f) finish - create the new Subtree View d) display the equivalent dsconfig arguments to create this object b) back q) quit
Result:
After they have been configured, you can assign one or more subtree views to any client connection policies.
