6.4.3 Adding an
scServerContainer
and
scBranchServer
Object
There must be an
scBranchServer
object for every Branch Server in the system.
These objects store configuration information that is specific to each Branch Server.
An
scBranchServer
object contains information about hardware, at least one defined
network card, and services like TFTP, DNS, and DHCP. It is located with an
scLocation
object in the LDAP tree.
IMPORTANT: Defining the Branch Server Hostname
The location of the
scBranchServer
object in the LDAP directory must
correspond to the hostname defined for the Admin/Branch Server during in-
stallation. For example, if the hostname is
bs.east.boston.mycorp.us
,
the
dn
of the
scBranchServer
object would be
cn=bs,cn=server,
cn=east,ou=boston,o=mycorp,c=us
. .
To add an
scBranchServer
object to the LDAP directory with posAdmin, proceed
as follows:
1
Before you can add the
scBranchServer
to an
scLocation
object, you
must define an
scServerContainer
, using the
--scServerContainer
and common name (
--cn
) options. For example (type the command all on one
line):
posAdmin.pl --user cn=admin,o=
mycorp
,c=
us
--password
secret
--base cn=
east
,ou=
boston
,o=
mycorp
,c=
us
--add --scServerContainer --cn
server
2
In the new
scServerContainer
, add a Branch Server object, using the
--scBranchServer
and common name (
--cn
) options. For example (type
the command all on one line):
posAdmin.pl --user cn=admin,o=
mycorp
,c=
us
--password
secret
--base cn=
server
,cn=
east
,ou=
boston
,o=
mycorp
,c=
us
--add --scBranchServer --cn
bs
