Chapter 4, Files Controlling Gateway Functionality 39
Gateway .conf Files
Gateway .conf Files
A gateway’s .conf file describes the gateway’s instance. A gateway’s .conf file
controls the host, port, root suffix, and Directory Manager to use when
communicating with the Directory Server. It also controls
• the localization settings for the gateway
• the locations where new entries can be created within the directory
• the types of entries that can be created
• the search base
• whether the gateway uses SSL communications
dsgw.conf
The configuration file for the default gateway, dsgw.conf, is invoked at
http://<adminhost:adminport>/dsgw/bin/lang?context=dsgw
pb.conf
The configuration file for Directory Express, pb.conf, is a gateway customized
as a directory lookup tool. pb.conf is invoked at
http://<adminhost:adminport>/dsgw/bin/search?context=pb

Gateway configuration parameters are defined in Appendix A, “.conf Parameters.”
Gateway Search Configuration Files
Gateway search configuration files determine how the gateway queries
information in the Directory and returns search results to users. gateway search
configuration files are stored in the dsgw/config directory. All gateway
instances for a Directory Server use these common search configuration files.
