Data Source Name (DSN)

The DSN element in the directory.xml file has one parameter: the name of the ODBC data source that the Administrative UI uses to connect to the administrator user store. The value of the name parameter must match the name of an existing data source.

Note: Do not supply the DSN in the directory.xml file. You provide the DSN information for your administrator user store when you install the Administrative UI. The Administrative UI installation wizard prompts you for all of the required DSN information.
