Start and Stop OID: Creating a new Configuration
Set
In the following hands-on exercise we will create a new Configuration
Set (a.k.a. configset).
Configuration Sets are customizable LDAP server profiles.
They allow you to change the LDAP server configurations and give you
an easy way to start up specific LDAP servers that you create.
In this hand-on exercise we will create a new configset
called "Configuration Set1". This configset will spawn more
server processes and worker threads that listen for LDAP requests. We
will also give our configset new LDAP port numbers to listen on.
In the Oracle Directory Manager navigate to Server Management
-> Directory Server -> Default Configuration Set.
Highlight the "Default Configuration Set"
and then select "Create Like" from either the button icons
or the "File" menu.
A new window will appear with all of the same configuration
set information as the "Default Configuration Set" but the
new configset will be called "Configuration Set1".
Under the "General" tab change the "Number
of Child Processes to 4.
Under the "General" tab change the "Non
SSL Port" number to 4054.
Under the "SSL Setting" tab change the "SSL
Port" number to 4055.
Click ok.
Now stop the OID server and restart it using the new
"Configuration Set1".
Wait! Verify the oidldapd server processes have
stop before starting the server again.
In the previous Start and Stop exercises we did not
specify a configset parameter. When no configset parameter is specified
in your startup command, OID starts the default configuration set. In
the following startup example we will specify which configset to start
by adding the "configset" parameter to our startup command.
