Set Up the Democorp Namespace Partition

DXmanager lets you create configuration for one or more directory hosts. These instructions describe how to set up configuration for a simple backbone that includes one region, one site, and three hosts.

Note: This description assumes that you use DXmanager the first time you set up a namespace otherwise the wizard will not appear.

To set up the Democorp namespace partition

1. Log in to DXmanager as a user with the Change or Superuser role.
2. Select the Single DSA Backbone link.
3. Use the wizard to enter the following default values for the backbone:

   Console password

   Specifies the password required for connection to this DSA on a DSA console. You must specify a password if you want to connect to this DSA from a remote computer. This password is optional for local connections.

   Password

   Specifies the password that DXmanager uses when contacting DXadmind on the host. This password is used for communication between DXadmind and DXmanager.

   Ensure that you enter same password that was specified when CA Directory was installed on each host.

4. Use the wizard to enter the following namespace partition details:

   Partition name

   Specifies the name of the namespace partition that you are creating. This name is used on the DXmanager maps.

   Enter: Democorp

   Prefix

   Specifies the context prefix of the DIT that the DSA publishes that it serves. If Native prefix is also set, then this becomes the logical prefix rather than the physical prefix and prefix mapping is done in the server.

   Enter: o=Democorp,c=au

   Port

   Specifies the port for this namespace partition. The DSAs created when you deploy this namespace partition to a host use this port as their listen address.

   Enter: 19389

   SNMP port

   Specifies the SNMP port for this partition. This is the port the DSA will use to send SNMP traps. This is needed by the DXmanager to be able to monitor DSAs.

   Enter: 19389 (automatically populated when you enter the Port).

5. Create the topology. This wizard lets you create a single-host topology only, which means that you can create only one region, one site, and one host. You can add more later. Enter the following details:

   Region

   Specifies the name of the region.

   Enter: Australia

   Site

   Specifies the name of the site.

   Enter: Melbourne

   Host name

   Specifies the name of the host.

   Enter: Your host name

   Data Store Location

   Identifies the location of the data store. If a relative path is given it is relative to DXHOME.

   Enter: data

   Note: the data directory is created by default when CA Directory is installed.

   Network Address

   Identifies the host on the network, in one of the following formats: IP address or network address.

6. When you are satisfied with the settings, click Finish.

   The Maps tab appears, showing the Namespace map. It should appear similar to the following:

   

   You can also look at the new Topology map, which should appear similar to the following:

   

   These maps have been created from the details you just entered.

7. Save this version of the configuration, as follows:
   1. Click Configuration, Save.
   2. Enter a comment that describes the current state of the configuration, and then click OK.

   You can now set up the UNSPSC namespace partition.
