Two Directory servers listening on ports 389/636, on one server

The following procedure outlines how to configure a two (or more instances) of Sun Java Directory Server, both listening on non-secure port 389 and secure port 636.

This is useful in application testing where all applications require port 389/636 but you need two distinct Directories to ensure that data and configurations do not collide.

This procedure requires that you add a second virtual network interface.

View the current network settings

# ifconfig -a

lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1

inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

dmfe0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2

inet 10.200.131.36 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.200.131.255

ether 0:3:ba:7a:bb:ed

Create the second virtual interface

# ifconfig dmfe0:1 plumb

Assign an ip address to it

# ifconfig dmfe0:1 10.200.131.82 up

Add the secondhostname to /etc/hosts(or DNS)

# Internet host table

#

127.0.0.1 localhost

10.200.132.101 10.200.132.101

10.200.131.36 firsthostname.example.com firsthostname loghost

10.200.131.82 secondhostname.example.com secondhostname

Confirm the network interface is working

# ping 10.200.131.82

10.200.131.82 is alive

# ping secondhostname

secondhostname is alive

Create an instance of DSEE.

• Ensure that you specify the second host name with the -h parameter
• Temporarily provide a secure and non-secure port that is not in use (otherwise the create command will fail since ports 389 and 636 are already in use)

#/opt/SUNWdsee/ds6/bin/dsadm create -h secondhostname -p 1389 -P 1636 /var/opt/SUNWdsee/dsins2

Edit the dse.ldif of the new instance

• Add the two lines in blue below
• Change the the port numbers to 389 and 636 respectively.

#vi /var/opt/SUNWdsee/dsins2/config/dse.ldif

dn: cn=config
