10.11 Restarting the Oracle Virtual Directory Server Using OPMNCTL

The opmnctl restartproc command performs a soft restart of the Oracle Virtual Directory server, that is, it reloads the Oracle Virtual Directory configuration, but does not kill the current the Oracle Virtual Directory server process. To restart the first Oracle Virtual Directory component, use the following: ORACLE_INSTANCEbinopmnctl restartproc ias-component=ovd1 To restart all Oracle Virtual Directory components, use the following: ORACLE_INSTANCEbinopmnctl restartproc process-type=OVD 11 Creating and Managing Oracle Virtual Directory Listeners 11-1 11 Creating and Managing Oracle Virtual Directory Listeners This chapter explains how to create Oracle Virtual Directory Listeners and includes the following topics: ■ What is a Listener? ■ Understanding the Default Oracle Virtual Directory Listeners ■ Configuring Oracle Virtual Directory to Listen on Privileged Ports ■ Creating and Managing Listeners Using Fusion Middleware Control ■ Managing Listeners Using WLST ■ Securing Listeners with SSL 11.1 What is a Listener? Oracle Virtual Directory provides services to clients through connections known as Listeners. Oracle Virtual Directory supports the following two types of Listeners: ■ LDAP: provides LDAPv2v3 based services ■ HTTP: provides one or more services such as DSMLv2, or basic white page functions provided by an XSLT enabled Web Gateway An Oracle Virtual Directory configuration can have any number of Listeners or it can even have zero Listeners, thus restricting access to only the administrative gateway. Most Oracle Virtual Directory deployments need no more than two HTTP Listeners and two LDAP Listeners, where one Listener is for SSL and one for non-SSL for each protocols.

11.2 Understanding the Default Oracle Virtual Directory Listeners

Oracle Virtual Directory includes two Listeners by default: an HTTP Listener named Admin Gateway and an LDAP Listener named LDAP SSL Endpoint. Note: You must explicitly stop and start Oracle Virtual Directory—not Restart—to load Listener configurations to the Oracle Virtual Directory server. This includes after creating, updating, or deleting a Listener.
