Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 8.1 - USING THE ADMIN SERVER Using Instructions page 46

Chapter 3. Admin Express
The configuration file should be readable by the Admin Server user and no other users, so consider
resetting the permissions on the file:
chmod 0400 filename
To view in-progress status of replication in Admin Express:
1. Create a configuration file. The configuration file lists all of the servers to monitor for replication,
giving their hostname, port, the bind credentials to use, and then optional settings for aliases and
time lag colors.
#Configuration File for Monitoring Replication Via Admin Express
[connection] Required. Gives the server host, port, supplier bind DN,
and password.
host1.example.com:389:cn=replication manager:mypassword
host2.example.com:3891:cn=replication manager:altpassword
[alias] Optional. Gives a friendly-name alias to the servers and
consumers.
M1 = host1.example.com:389
M2 = host2.example.com:3891
C1 = host3.example.com:3892
C2 = host4.example.com:3890
[color] Optional. Sets the color for the time lag boxes.
0 = #ccffcc
5 = #FFFFCC
60 = #FFCCCC
The configuration file must be in a directory that is accessible to the Admin Server, and the file
must be readable by the Admin Server user. By default, the user is nobody.
The user is set in the console.conf file. To check the user, use grep to return the value:
grep \^User /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf
The configuration file should be readable by the Admin Server user and no other users, so
consider resetting the permissions on the file:
chmod 0400 filename
2. In the Admin Server web page, click the Admin Express link, and log in.
3. Click the Replication Status link by the supplier server name.
4. Type the path to the configuration file in the Configuration file field. Also, set the refresh rate,
which is how frequently the replication status page updates; the default is 300 seconds.
