Configuring JNDI Properties for the Directory Eventing System
DES is a Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI)-compliant service and accepts standard JNDI properties. For more information about JNDI, see http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/.
Standard DES properties have the format:
<connectionPrefix>.<standardJNDISuffix>
The variable <connectionPrefix> is a property prefix that depends on the SRC component and the directory to which it connects. The variable <standardJNDISuffix> is a standard JNDI property.
For example, the property net.juniper.smgt.des.retry_interval is a standard JNDI property that specifies the how often the DES for the NIC agent polls the directory.
If you do not specify values for the standard DES properties, DES accepts the default values. The following list shows the <standardJNDISuffix> variables for the most common standard JNDI properties that you may want to customize for an SRC component.
.java.naming.provider.url
.java.naming.security.principal
- Distinguished name (DN) of the directory entry that defines the username with which the SRC component accesses the directory.
- Value—<DN>
- Example—cn=nic, ou=Components, o=Operators, <base>
.java.naming.security.credentials
- Password with which the SRC component accesses the directory.
- Value—<password>
- Guidelines—The password can be encoded in base64 and not visible in plain text. To use an encoded value, use the format {BASE64} <encoded-value>.
- Example—admin
.java.naming.security.protocol
.java.naming.factory.initial
