Hello,
I'm new in this list, thank you for developing 389ds!
I would like some hints about lib389.
dscreate allows to set some parameters only when you create an instance.
So it' very difficult to maintain all configuration parameters among db and instances
and replicated instances.
I'm writing my tool to manage all configuration parameters in one place (a yaml file).
Just a wrapper for dsconf. See at
https://github.com/falon/ds-easyconf
I would like to call dsconf from an external host only, different from hosts where the
389ds run. So I have installed the python3-lib389 rpm in that different host.
Let suppose I have
tst1.example.com
tst2.example.com
tst3.example.com
where 389ds Directory Server run after dscreate process.
I have another host:
manage.example.com
where I have installed lib389 rpm only, and from that remote host I configure the
tst*.example.com servers through dsconf.
The problem is that dsconf exit with the error "defaults.inf not found in any well
known location!".
So I have taken the defaults.inf from a 389ds host (one of
tst*.example.com) and I have
placed it in the new path /usr/share/dirsrv/inf of
manage.example.com.
Now dsconf works fine.
I would like to know if there are some reason to avoid to do that. Or, if simply the
python3-lib389 forgot to install the defaults.inf in the proper path.
Thank you very much
Warm Regards
Marco
