Configuring Directory Connection Properties

Use the following configuration statements to configure directory properties for a component:

slot number component-name initial directory-connection {
    url url; 
    backup-urls [backup-urls...]; 
    principal principal;
    credentials credentials; 
    protocol (ldaps); 
    timeout timeout; 
    check-interval check-interval; 
    blacklist; 
    snmp-agent; 
}

To configure directory connection properties for a component:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that specifies the directory configuration for a component on a slot.
  2. user@host# edit slot number component initial directory-connection
    
    
    

For example:

user@host# edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection

  1. Specify the URL that identifies the location of the primary directory server.
  2. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]
    
    user@host# set url url 
    
    
    

On a C-series platform, this value is ldap://127.0.0.1:389.

  1. (Optional) Specify URLs that identify the locations of backup directory servers. Backup servers are used if the primary directory server is not accessible.
  2. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]
    
    user@host# set backup-urls directory-backup-url1 directory-backup-url2
    
    
    
  3. Specify the DN that the SRC component uses for authentication to access the directory.
  4. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]
    
    user@host# set principal principal 
    
    
    
  5. Specify the password with which the SRC component accesses the directory.
  6. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]
    
    user@host# set credentials credentials 
    
    
    
  7. (Optional) Specify whether the connection to the directory uses secure LDAP. If you do not configure a security protocol, plain socket is used.
  8. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]
    
    user@host# set protocol ldaps 
    
    
    
  9. (Optional) Specify the maximum amount of time during which the directory must respond to a connection request.
  10. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]
    
    user@host# set timeout timeout 
    
    
    
  11. (Optional) Specify the time interval at which the software attempts to connect to the directory.
  12. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]
    
    user@host# set check-interval check-interval 
    
    
    
  13. (Optional) Enable the directory eventing system to prevent a connection to a directory after the directory fails to respond during an interval in which the directory was polled 10 times.
  14. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]
    
    user@host# set blacklist 
    
    
    
  15. Specify that the SDX SNMP agent exports MIBs for this directory connection.
  16. [edit slot 0 nic initial directory-connection]
    
    user@host# set snmp-agent
