Sun Java(TM) System Directory Server Online Help



Plug-Ins (Individual) Configuration

The plug-in nodes on the top-level Configuration tab display information for each of the server plug-ins that are installed and loaded. The Directory Server console allows you to modify several parameters in certain plug-ins, but a badly configured plug-in may keep the server from starting.

All of the plug-ins share a standard display format:

Enable plug-in. Select this checkbox to enable the plug-in; clear the checkbox to disable the plug-in. After enabling or disabling a plug-in, you must restart the directory server.

Plug-in ID. Gives the name of the plug-in.

Description. Describes the function or effect of the plug-in.

Version. Gives the version number of the plug-in.

Signature state. Indicates whether the signature provided is a valid signature to be trusted.

Vendor. Identifies the manufacturer of the plug-in.

Initialization function. Identifies the function that the server calls to initialize the plug-in.

Plug-in module path. Gives the name and path of the shared object or dynamic link library that contains the plug-in.

Arguments. Specifies any additional arguments that are passed to the initialization function.

Add and Delete. These buttons allow you to modify the number of arguments that are passed to the initialization function.

Advanced. This button will invoke the Generic Editor dialog for the entry representing the current plug-in. Plug-in entries are located in cn=plugins,cn=config, and any modifications will not take effect until the server is restarted.
