Novell LDAP Proxy 1.0 Administration Guide - NetIQ

3.6 Configuring Additional Server Groups
The node in the configuration file lists all the back-end server groups
configured for the proxy. Additional back-end server groups must be defined in this node.
For instance, assume that you want to define a back-end server group, connld, to be configured with
back-end servers Backend1 and Backend3 as a part of this connection-based server group. You can
define the configuration as follows:
To add a back-end server group:
1 Open the nlpconf.xml file from the /etc/opt/novell/ldapproxy/conf directory in any
XML editor.
2 To add a back-end server group to the existing configuration, create an instance of the
following section within the node:
3 In the newly created instance, provide a name for the new back-end server group.
4 Provide the name of the back-end servers that you want to configure in this group. If you have
more than two servers, add additional elements to define each backend
server.
For information on the elements/attributes that are used to define these parameters, refer to
“Configuration Parameters” on page 33.
5 To add more back-end server groups, repeat Step 2 to Step 4.
6 Save the nlpconf.xml file.
For additional information about configuring back-end server groups, see the following sections:
• Section 3.6.1, “Configuration Parameters,” on page 33
