The OpenText eDirectory Service Manager provides information about available OpenText eDirectory services and their states. You can also use the Service Manager to start and stop these services.
Service Manager manages only OpenText eDirectory services. This is done with the help of the dsservcfg.xml configuration file, which lists the services to be managed on various platform. It also lets you add or remove services from the list.
You can access the OpenText eDirectory Service Manager through the following methods:
The OpenText eDirectory Management Toolbox (eMBox) Client is a command line Java client that gives you remote access to the OpenText eDirectory Service Manager eMTool. The emboxclient.jar file is installed on your server as part of OpenText eDirectory. You can run it on any machine with a JVM. For more information on the Client, see Using the Command Line Client.
To use the Client Service Manager eMTool:
Run the Client in interactive mode by entering the following at the command line:
java -cp path_to_the_file/emboxclient.jar -i
(If you have already put the emboxclient.jar file in your class path, you only need to enter java -i.)
The Client prompt appears:
Client>
Log in to the server that will run Service Manager by entering the following:
login -s server_name_or_IP_address -p port_number -u username.context -w password -n
The port number is usually 80 or 8028, unless you have a Web server that is already using the port. The -n option opens a nonsecure connection.
The Client indicates whether the login is successful.
