Status

The status section of the Admin Console is a central area for controlling the directory services. Each service (LDAP, NIS, RADIUS and Web Gateway) can be started and stopped from this section. You can see at a glance the status of each service and you can also disable whether each service is automatically restarted at system startup.

Services

The services section of the Admin Console is a centralized area where you can configure the four directory services (LDAP, Web Gateway, NIS and RADIUS). You can also change the security parameters from this section.

Data Store

Directory information is divided into naming contexts which are stored in a data store. The data store is the physical location of the naming context. Each data store can hold more than one naming context. A directory server can hold more than one data store.

Schema

The schema is the set of rules that describe the data that can be stored in the directory. It defines the type of entries, their structure and their syntax. The schema can be modified, though certain objects and attributes cannot be changed.

Access Control

Access control rules determine who has access to a given directory entry and what level of access is granted. Access control rules are ordered. The first rule in the list is the most specific, the last in the list provides the most general access. The first rule that matches the requested operation is applied, the rest ignored.

Log

The Log section of the Admin Console enables you to configure the types of information that make up the log. You can specify which file to use, the maximum file size, and the different types of data that make up the log file.
