bdii(5) configuration files

DESCRIPTION

bdii-update.conf

Configuration for bdii-update: a list of source URLs for resource information. Format: one unique name + one URL per line, shell-style commented. For a site-level BDII each name represents a grid resource provided by the site, for a top-level BDII each name represents a whole site.

Typical content of a bdii-update.conf file for a site-level BDII: 

 CE     ldap://ce.example.com:2135/Mds-Vo-name=local,o=Grid
 SE     ldap://se.example.com:2135/Mds-Vo-name=local,o=Grid
 RB     ldap://rb.example.com:2135/Mds-Vo-name=local,o=Grid

NOTE: when BDII_AUTO_UPDATE is set to yes in bdii.conf, this file will be periodically overwritten with the document referred to by the BDII_UPDATE_URL.

bdii.conf

Configuration set up parameters for bdii, bdii-fwd, and bdii-update. Format:
       attribute=value shell variable assignments, with case-sensitive
       attributes, shell-style commented

        host the directory content. At any time the port of the most
        up-to-date slapd is used as a backend by the bdii-fwd service
        to link to the BDII service port $BDII_PORT_READ. The slapd
        databases are updated cyclically, with each instance being
        used for up to a few minutes.
        Allowed values: space separated and quoted list of
                non-identical ports, each between 1-65535,
                non overlapping with BDII_PORT_READ
        Typical value: "2171 2172 2173"

        DN of the top of the DIT used to publish the information through
        this bdii.
        Allowed values: any DN that is compatible with the schemas
        installed.
        Typical values:
        "Mds-Vo-name=example.com, o=Grid" for a site-level BDII
        "Mds-Vo-name=local, o=Grid"       for a  top-level BDII
 BDII_PASSWD
        Password used to access the backend slapd servers, used
        both to configure the slapd instances and in the bdii
        update script to access the same.
        Allowed values: any string, shell meta-characters must
        be escaped.
        Typical value: site specific

        and logfiles.
