Netscape/iPlanet Changelog Connector

Overview

The Netscape/iPlanet Changelog Connector is a specialized instance of the LDAP Connector. This Connector contains logic to iterate the changelog and parse the changes attribute. The Connector can be used in batch oriented runs where it starts at a specific change number and terminates after the last changelog entry. It can also be run in continuous mode where you specify the timer values for periodically checking for the next changelog entry.

The Connector will read changelog entries and automatically increase the changelog counter by one for each iteration. When the Connector tries to read a non existing changelog entry the Connector goes to sleep for a while (nsSleepInterval). If the total time the Connector is waiting for a new entry exceeds the nsTimeout value the Connector returns to the caller with a null value (end of iteration).

Configuration

The Connector needs the following parameters:

Parameter

Description

connectorType com.architech.connector.rscLdap
ldapUrl The LDAP URL for the connection. (ldap://host:port)
ldapUsername The distinguished name used for authentication to the server
ldapPassword The credentials (password)
ldapAuthenticationMethod The authentication method.  Possible values are

CRAM-MD5 - use the CRAM-MD5 (RFC-2195) SASL mechanism

none - use no authentication (anonymous)

simple - use weak authentication (cleartext password)

If not specified default (simple) is used. If ldapUsername and ldapPassword is blank then anonymous is used.

ldapSearchBase The search base where the changelog is kept. The standard DN for this is cn=changelog
nsChangenumber Specifies the starting changenumber. Each changelog entry is named changenumber=intvalue and the Connector will start at the number specified by this parameter and automatically increment by one.
nsTimeout Specifies the number of seconds the Connector will wait for the next changelog entry.
nsSleepInterval Specifies the number of seconds the Connector will sleep between each poll.
