Configuring Directory Services

Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide • November 2001
Once the rotation starts, Enterprise Server creates a new time stamped access log
file when there is a request that needs to be logged to the access log file and it
occurs after the previously-scheduled “next rotate time.”
Using Cron-based Log Rotation (UNIX/Linux)
You can configure several features of your Enterprise Server to operate
automatically and set to begin at specific times. The cron daemon checks the
computer clock and then spawns processes at certain times. (These settings are
stored in the
ns-cron.conf
file.)
This cron daemon controls scheduled tasks for your Enterprise Server and can be
activated and deactivated from the Administration Server. The tasks performed by
the cron process depends on the various servers. (Note that on NT platforms, the
scheduling occurs within the individual servers.)
Some of the tasks that can be controlled by cron daemons include scheduling
collection maintenance and archiving log files. You need to restart cron control
whenever you change the settings for scheduled tasks.
To restart, start, or stop cron control, perform the following steps:
1.
Access the Administration Server and choose the Global Settings tab.
2.
Click the Cron Control link.
3.
Click Restart, Start, or Stop to change the cron controls.
Note that any time you add a task to cron, you need to restart the daemon.
Configuring Directory Services
You can store and manage information such as the names and passwords of your
users in a single Directory Server using an open-systems server protocol called the
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). You can also configure the server
to allow your users to retrieve directory information from multiple, easily
accessible network locations.
To configure the directory services preferences, perform the following steps:
1.
Access the Administration Server and choose the Global Settings tab.
2.
Click the Configure Directory Service link.
3.
Make the desired changes and click OK.
For more information, see The Configure Directory Service Page in the online help.
