17.5 Configuring the Java Remote Loader for Driver Instances

The Java Remote Loader hosts only Java driver shims. It does not load or host a native (C++) driver shim.

To configure a new instance for the Java Remote Loader on Linux platforms, complete the following steps. For more information about the parameters used in this section, see Understanding the Configuration Parameters for the Remote Loader.

  1. In a text editor, create a new file.

    NetIQ provides a sample file config8000.txt to help you configure the Remote Loader and drivers for use with your application shim. The sample file is located by default in the /opt/novell/dirxml/doc directory.

  2. Add the following parameters to the new configuration file:

    • -description (optional)

    • -class or -module

      For example, -class com.novell.nds.dirxml.driver.ldap.LDAPDriverShim

    • -commandport

    • connection parameters:

      • port

      • address

      • fromaddress

      • handshaketimeout

      • rootfile

      • keystore (conditional)

      • storepass (conditional)

      • localaddress

      • hostname

      • kmo

    • -java (conditional)

    • -javadebugport (optional)

    • -password

    • -service (conditional)

    • -setpasswords

    • trace file parameters (optional):

      • -trace

      • -tracefile

      • -tracefilemax

    NOTE:For more information about the parameters, see Section 17.2, Understanding the Configuration Parameters for the Remote Loader.

  3. Save the new configuration file.

    For the Remote Loader to start automatically when your computer starts, save the file to the /etc/opt/novell/dirxml/rdxml directory.

  4. Open a command prompt.

  5. At the prompt, enter -config filename, where filename is the name of the new configuration file. For example:

    -config config.txt
