Issue/Introduction

What are the steps to configure a router DSA that connects to back end data DSA?

Environment

CA Directory 14.x

Resolution

1.  Create one data DSA and one router DSA

For example,

* Data DSA on machine1:

dxnewdsa examplecorp 19389 o=examplecorp,c=au

* Router DSA on machine2 (no prefix needed):

dxnewdsa –t router dsarouter 19489 

 

2.       Create service for those DSAs

dxserver install examplecorp

dxserver install dsarouter

 

3. Configure the data and the router

  a. Edit the dxc file of the data and router under \CA\Directory\dxserver\config\knowledge by adding

          trust-flags  = allow-check-password
 to the data dxc file, i.e examplecorp

          trust-flags  = trust-conveyed-originator
 to the router dxc file, i.e dsarouter

For example,

examplecorp.dxc

 dsarouter.dxc

  b. One each machine, store the knowledge dxc files of the data and router DSA in a common dxg file, e.g knowledge.dxg

  For example,

    examplecorp.dxi

     dsarouter.dxi

d. Restart both router and data DSA.

      Use an LDAP tool to connect to the router, e.g Jxplorer and you will see the entire tree of the examplecorp
