Hash DN Placement Algorithm

The Hash DN Placement Algorithm is a placement algorithm that forwards LDAP ADD requests to backend sets based on an MD5 hash of the entry DN. This algorithm ensures that a given DN maps repeatedly to the same backend set provided the backend sets do not change.

dsconfig Usage

To list the configured Placement Algorithms:

dsconfig list-placement-algorithms
     [--property {propertyName}] ...

To view the configuration for an existing Placement Algorithm:

dsconfig get-placement-algorithm-prop
     --algorithm-name {name}
     --processor-name {name}
     [--tab-delimited]
     [--script-friendly]
     [--property {propertyName}] ...

To update the configuration for an existing Placement Algorithm:

dsconfig set-placement-algorithm-prop
     --algorithm-name {name}
     --processor-name {name}
     (--set|--add|--remove) {propertyName}:{propertyValue}
     [(--set|--add|--remove) {propertyName}:{propertyValue}] ...

To create a new Hash DN Placement Algorithm:

dsconfig create-placement-algorithm
     --algorithm-name {name}
     --processor-name {name}
     --type hash-dn
     --set enabled:{propertyValue}
     [--set {propertyName}:{propertyValue}] ...

To delete an existing Placement Algorithm:

dsconfig delete-placement-algorithm
     --algorithm-name {name}
     --processor-name {name}
