Tools to Manage CA Directory

CA Directory includes the following tools to help you set up, control, and monitor your directory backbone:

• DXmanager

  DXmanager is a web application that lets you create, configure, monitor, and control your directory backbone.

• DSA console

  The DSA console lets you connect to a DSA to give DXserver commands, receive trace information, and act as a user agent.

• JXweb

  JXweb is a general purpose LDAP-compliant directory browser and editor, which lets you access a directory through the Web.

• DXtools

  The DXtools are a set of command-line utilities that come with CA Directory. These tools help you manage directory administration, work with LDIF data, load and unload data to and from a directory, and to extract and convert schemas for use with CA Directory.

• Logs

  The logs contain output from a DSA, including its trace, diagnostics, warnings, and alarms.

• Traces

  A DSA's trace is its record of almost all operations going into and out of that DSA. You can view a DSA's trace in the log files, and also by using the DSA console.

• Alarms

  Alarms are reports of critical events that should be monitored.
