FileBasedPublisher Plug-in Module
When developing a custom publisher module, you may want to intercept LDAP
error 52 and reword it so that the correct error message gets logged. To give you an
example, if the publishing directory has been stopped, the server logs the following
message in its error and system logs:
Error publishing CRL MasterCRL: Cannot find a match in the LDAP
server for certificate. netscape.ldap.LDAPException: unable to
establish connection (52); DSA is unavailable.
Notice that the error message incorrectly says DSA is unavailable instead of
Directory Server is unavailable.
For instructions on how to configure a Certificate Manager to use a publisher
module, see section "Configuring a Certificate Manager to Publish Certificates and
CRLs" in Chapter 19, "Setting Up LDAP Publishing" of CMS Installation and Setup
Guide.
