prepare-external-server

Description

Prepare Directory Proxy Server and a directory server for communication.

This tool performs several functions that update a directory server to be used as an external server by the Directory Proxy Server. If you use the create-initial-proxy-config tool to define and prepare directory server instances use of this tool is unnecessary.

Among other functions, this tool creates the proxy user account, sets the correct password, and configures the account with required privileges. If necessary you are prompted for manager credentials in order that the tool can perform any required modifications to the external server.

When using this tool, specify the LDAP connection options to establish a connection to the external server. Other options are used to specify information about the Directory Proxy Server which this tool uses to configure the external server.

If a secure connection will be used by the Directory Proxy Server to communicate with the external server you can supply the path and password of the truststore to have this tool populate the Directory Proxy Server's truststore with the server certificate of the external server.

Examples

prepare-external-server --hostname server.example.com --port 1389 \

prepare-external-server --hostname server.example.com --port 1636 --useSSL \
