Mapping the Properties Configuration

The Directory Proxy Server 5 property objects enable you to specify specialized restrictions that
LDAP clients must follow. Most of the functionality of property objects is available in Directory
Proxy Server 6, although it is supplied by various elements of the new architecture. The
following sections describe how to map the Directory Proxy Server 5 property objects to the
corresponding 6.0 functionality.

Attribute Renaming Property

In Directory Proxy Server 5, attribute renaming is defined by the
ids-proxy-sch-RenameAttribute

object class. This object uses the

ids-proxy-con-server-attr-name

and ids-proxy-con-client-attr-name attributes to

specify which attributes must be renamed by Directory Proxy Server.

The attribute renaming functionality is replaced in Directory Proxy Server 6 by the
attr-name-mappings

property of an LDAP data source. This property is multi-valued, and

takes values of the form client-attribute-name#server-attribute-name. In a client request,
Directory Proxy Server renames the client-attribute-name to the server-attribute-name.
In a response, Directory Proxy Server renames the server-attribute-name to the
client-attribute-name

.

To configure this property, use the following command:

$ dpconf set-ldap-data-source-prop

data-source-name \

attr-name-mappings:

client-attribute-name#server-attribute-name

Forbidden Entry Property

In Directory Proxy Server 5, the ids-proxy-sch-ForbiddenEntryProperty object is used to
specify a list of entries or attributes that are hidden from client applications. In Directory Proxy
Server 6.0 this functionality is achieved by creating a search-data-hiding-rule for a request
filtering policy.

In Iplanet Directory Access Router 5.0 (IDAR) these configuration attributes are stored under
ids-proxy-con-Name=

group-name,ou=groups,ou=pd2,ou=iDAR,o=services. In Directory

Proxy Server 5.2, these configuration attributes are stored under
ou=groups,cn=

user-defined-name,ou=dar-config,o=NetscapeRoot.

The following table maps the attributes of the ids-proxy-sch-ForbiddenEntryProperty
object to the corresponding properties of a search data hiding rule in Directory Proxy Server
6.0. For information about creating search data hiding rules, see “To Create Search Data Hiding
Rules” in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 Administration Guide.
