When we first started with the old iPlanet product all our prod directories were connected to a common admin server config instance. Over time, I found that made things difficult when something would "happen" to that admin server (whether intentionally or unintentionally). As a result, my practice now is to have a separate config instance for each physical server. I've often wanted to go back to using a single config instance, but never had the time to really think through what you'd need to do to recover if, for example, the admin server stopped working for some reason. I think i once saw a way to attach a running directory to a different admin server, just can't remmember where. Something covering that would make a great HOWTO.

I had this happen to me too.  I came in one day and found the database
was suddenly marked read-only.  I had to find the read-only setting and
make it read/write and everything was happy again.

Cheers,

Greg Copeland

Hi all,

After I played a little bit Fedora Directory Server I started to get an
error message: "Database is read-only", when I tried to modify anything.
Did I change any setting accidently?

Thanks.

Hello All,

I have 2 LDAP servers running in MultiMaster behind a load balancer. I
also have FDS management consoles running on both.

Is the management console required for each install of FDS ?

Is there a way to consolidate them?


Thanks,
Dave

No.

When you installed the first instance of FDS, it should have created it
as the configuration DS.  When you run setup subsequent times, in
Typical mode, you will be given the opportunity to register the new
instance with the configuration DS.
