Virtual Directory Server 6.1 - LDAP Browser User Guide

Configuration Files

Microsoft Windows

The configuration files for LB are all text based and are stored in '%USERPROFILE%'. Each connection that you create is stored in its own text file along with any Bookmarks or Searches that you create and save for that connection.

Linux and Unix

The configuration files for LB are all text based and are stored in your user home directory at '/home/<username>/.Dell/LB/confs'. Each connection that you create is stored in its own text file along with any Bookmarks or Searches that you create and save for that connection.

Connection Files

Connection files are hidden dot files, named after the connection name:

  .ConnectionName.browser.configfile

These files are formatted in a way that can be parsed by the browser to allow it to open a connection with the appropriate parameters and to remember settings specific to a connection. However the configuration files are fairly simple and are intuitive enough that you should be able to edit a file by hand if you find that something is not behaving in the expected manner. The following text is an example of the content of a connection file:

   confname:Onecorp - Local
   host:localhost
   port:3892
   authid:cn=dirmanager
   authpw:dirmanager
   suffix:dc=onecorp,dc=com
   suffixes:dc=onecorp,dc=com$dc=twocorp,dc=com$o=accounting,dc=mycompany.org$
     o=payroll,dc=mycompany.org
   version:1
   ssl:no
   referral:no
   ignorefailuremsgs:yes
