The Sun1DbFileCacheTest reports measures pertaining to each of the index files that make up the SunOne Directory server database. The parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• The DISTINGUISHEDNAME represents the server's Distinguished name. This value is to be specified when the server requires explicit authentication of requests. By default, this attribute is set to "none", implying that authentication is not required.

• In the PASSWORD text box, specify the password to be used for authenticating the request. The password is to be specified whenever the DISTINGUISHEDNAME is not "none".

• Confirm the password (if specified) by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• Specify the name of the database that you wish to monitor in the DATABASENAME text box. To figure out the name of the database, do the following:

  • In the command prompt, login to the SUNONE Directory Server with appropriate user permission.
  • Run the command, for e.g., ps -aef | grep slapd to find out the directory on which this server is installed.
  • In this case, your directory location will be /var/Sun/mps/slapd-sunt1000/ . Now, go to that particular directory and run the command ./monitor.
  • Now you can figure out the database names from the backendmonitordn entries of that particular directory.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed (e.g., if the URL is "http://$hostName:$port", for a specific web server running on the host www.abc.com on port 80, the URL parameter will be set to "http://www.abc.com:80").
