If you have passwords encoded with any of the AES (excluding AES256), 3DES, BLOWFISH, or RC4 password storage schemes, then running "dsreplication disable", "remove-defunct-server", or "manage-topology remove-server" from an older server may cause keys from that topology to be removed from that server, and you may need to restore any deleted keys associated with that instance so that passwords encrypted with them can be successfully used. The deleted key should be available in the configuration of the topology that this server is no longer a part of. The key can be copied from the configuration of one of the servers in that topology, or the removed server can be re-added to the topology to restore access to the deleted key. uncaught-exception - Indicates that the server has detected an uncaught exception that may have caused a thread to terminate. unindexed-internal-search -

| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
backend-id (Advanced Property, Read-Only)
| Property Group | General Configuration |
| Description | Specifies a name to identify the associated backend. The name must be unique among all backends in the server. The backend ID may not be altered after the backend is created in the server. |
| Default Value | alerts |
| Allowed Values | A string |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
base-dn (Advanced Property, Read-Only)
| Property Group | General Configuration |
| Description | Specifies the base DN(s) for the data that the backend handles. A single backend may be responsible for one or more base DNs. Note that no two backends may have the same base DN although one backend may have a base DN that is below a base DN provided by another backend (similar to the use of sub-suffixes in the Sun Java System Directory Server). If any of the base DNs is subordinate to a base DN for another backend, then all base DNs for that backend must be subordinate to that same base DN. |
| Default Value | cn=alerts |
| Allowed Values | A valid DN. |
| Multi-Valued | Yes |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | No administrative action is required by default although some action may be required on a per-backend basis before the new base DN may be used.
Although it is currently supported, the use of multiple base DNs per backend is not recommended and this capability may be removed in the future. If you are considering the use of multiple base DNs in a backend, you should first contact Ping Identity support to discuss this configuration |
set-degraded-alert-when-disabled (Advanced Property)
| Property Group | General Configuration |
| Description | Determines whether the Directory Server enters a DEGRADED state (and sends a corresponding alert) when this Backend is disabled. |
| Default Value | true |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
return-unavailable-when-disabled (Advanced Property)
| Property Group | General Configuration |
| Description | Determines whether any LDAP operation that would use this Backend is to return UNAVAILABLE when this Backend is disabled. |
| Default Value | true |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
backup-file-permissions (Advanced Property)
| Property Group | General Configuration | ||||||
| Description | Specifies the permissions that should be applied to files and directories created by a backup of the backend. They should be expressed as three-digit octal values, which is the traditional representation for UNIX file permissions. The three digits represent the permissions that are available for the file or directory's owner, group members, and other users (in that order), and each digit is the octal representation of the read, write, and execute bits. Execute permissions are only applied to directories. If the underlying platform does not allow the full level of granularity specified in the permissions, then an attempt will be made to set them as closely as possible to the provided permissions, erring on the side of security. Due to Java platform limitations, it may not be possible to set group member permissions independently of other user permissions, even on UNIX. | ||||||
| Default Value | 700 | ||||||
| Allowed Values | Any octal value between 700 and 777 (the owner must always have read, write, and execute permissions). Example values
| ||||||
| Multi-Valued | No | ||||||
| Required | No | ||||||
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
notification-manager (Advanced Property)
| Property Group | General Configuration |
