NOTE
Java Implementation
The DSML gateway is implemented as a Java application. Implementation as a
gateway, as opposed to natively within the Directory Server, offers the following
benefits:
•
Improved throughput since XML-parsing, which is CPU-intensive, can be
done on a different CPU than the server uses.
•
Integration with emerging Web services protocols can be added without
affecting Directory Server performance.
The gateway architecture does increase response times slightly in relation to a
native Directory Server implementation because each request must be forwarded
through the gateway.
Implementation in Java offers the following benefits:
•
Execution in a wide range of operating system and hardware environments,
including those that do not support Directory Server.
•
Leverage of existing Java Web services implementations.
•
Deployment within the execution environment of your choice. Installation will
be easy even without experience using Java Web services.
DSML Gateway with Directory Server
To use the DSML Gateway application as part of your Directory Server
deployment, you must:
Ensure prerequisites are met.
1.
Since the DSML gateway natively runs via
application that uses the gateway must be SOAP compatible.
Since the bindDN and password for a user in the DSML gateway is
the same bindDN and password used to access the Directory Server,
proxy authorization is the same proxy right that is determined by
access control rules. This is an extremely powerful right, and there is
not way to limit as whom a user with proxy rights may bind. Proxy
rights should be limited to privileged users, such as
