Chapter 2, Setting Up the Gateway 15
Gateway Installation Planning
Running the Gateway Migration Script
The dsgwmig script runs automatically during the 3.x -> 4.0 Directory Server
migration process.
Directory server migration is described in the Release Notes for Directory Server
4.0.
Updating the Gateway with Changes to
Directory Server Configuration
Release 4.0 of the Directory Server provides a script, updatedsgw, that can be
used to update all gateway instances with changes to the Directory Server
configuration, including changes to Directory Server port, host, suffix, and root
DN (the ability to update the suffix is not available in the server administration
console). The updatedsgw script is stored in <NSHOME>/bin/slapd/admin/bin.
Changes made to the Directory Server configuration (slapd.conf) through the
Netscape Console are posted to updatedsgw and the relevant gateway files are
updated. These files are updated when the host and port for the gateway match
the host and port of the Directory Server.
Note The Directory Server’s root DN (the Directory Server’s superuser) must match
the value of the gateway’s dirmgr parameter.
HTTP Server Recommendations for
Directory Server Gateway Release 4.0
