11-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Virtual Directory

11.4.1 Creating LDAP Listeners

Perform the following steps to create an LDAP Listener using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. Typically, when running secure and non-secure LDAP, there are at least two Listeners configured; one for regular LDAP default port is 6501 and one for secure LDAP using SSL default port is 7501.

1. Log in to Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control and navigate to

the Oracle Virtual Directory target where you want to create the LDAP Listener.

2. Select Administration and then Listeners from the Oracle Virtual Directory menu.

The Listeners screen appears.

3. Click the Create button. The Add Listener screen appears.

4. Select LDAP from the Listener Type list and set values for the LDAP Listener

configuration parameters as described in Table 11–1 : Table 11–1 LDAP Listener Configuration Parameters Type Parameter Description Basic Listener Name Name of the Listener. Use only ASCII characters in the value for the Listener Name parameter, as non-ASCII characters are not supported. In addition, do no use the following characters in a listener name: | ; , \ ` ~ { } [ ] = + space or tab Listener Host Specify the IP address the Listener should use to listen for connections from clients. By default, Oracle Virtual Directory listens on all IP addresses if no value or 0.0.0.0 is specified for this parameter. Note: Do not use a a loopback IP address, including 127.0.0.1, :0:0:1, localhost, and so on, for the Listener Host setting. If you set this parameter to an IP address or host, the Listener uses that IP address or host to listen for connections from clients, regardless of whether the IP address or host is virtual or real. Listener Port The port number on which the Listener provides service. Only one Listener per server can be active on a port at any given time. If Oracle Virtual Directory is installed on the same server as an existing server, for example, an Active Directory domain controller, enter a port that does not conflict with the existing service. Threads The number of active worker threads the Listener uses to concurrently process incoming requests. The Listener automatically increases the number of threads if you enter an insufficient amount. This initial setting serves only to indicate to Oracle Virtual Directory the expected amount of simultaneous clients so that it can preallocate resources. The default setting is 10, which should be sufficient for testing purposes. For production environments, Oracle recommends to increase this setting to 50. Listener Enabled Enables selected and disables not selected the Listener for service.
