Value
Gives the OID of LDAP controls forwarded by the database link to
the remote data server.
The suffix managed by the database link. Any changes you make to
this attribute after the entry has been created take effect only after
you restart the server containing the database link.
Default search time limit for the database link, given in seconds. The
default value is 3600 seconds.
Default size limit for the database link, given in number of entries.
The default value is 2000 entries.
Gives the LDAP URL of the remote server (or farm server) that
contains the data. This attribute can contain optional servers for
failover, separated by spaces. If using cascading chaining, this URL
can point to another database link.
DN of the administrative entry used to communicate with the
remote server. The term multiplexor in the name of the attribute
means the server which contains the database link and
communicates with the remote server.
This bind DN cannot be the directory manager. If this attribute is not
specified, the database link binds as anonymous.
Password for the administrative user, given in plain text. If no
password is provided, it means that users can bind as anonymous.
The password is encrypted in the configuration file.
Reserved for advanced use only. Controls whether ACIs are
evaluated on the database link as well as the remote data server.
Takes the values on or off.
Changes to this attribute occur only after the server has been
restarted. The default value is off.
Reserved for advanced use only. Allows you to disable proxied
authorization. A value of off means proxied authorization is
disabled. The default value is on.
Lists the components using chaining. A component is any functional
unit in the server. The value of this attribute in the database link
instance overrides the value in the global configuration attribute. To
disable chaining on a particular database instance, use the value
none.
The default policy is to not allow chaining. Refer to "Chaining
Component Operations," on page 98 for more information.
