Description



glite-BDII
This updated version of the the BDII fixes a number of outstanding issues, improves the configuration and provides some additional features.
The BDII now uses the bdb backend for OpenLDAP as the ldbm backend is now obsolete. The slapd file used to configure the OpenLDAP database is now in the etc directory rather than embedded in the code. The location of this file is a new configuration parameter in the bdii.conf file BDII_SLAPD_CONF.
The default LDAP entries used in the BDII can also be found in a default LDIF file in the etc directory. The location of this file is a new configuration parameter in the bdii.conf file BDII_DEFAULT_LDIF. The var directory used by the BDII is not configurable with the parameter BDII_VAR_DIR

For full details on configuration of the BDII, please take a look at the BDII documentation This release of the BDII also contains two new features:
  • The first in the introduction of the entry, dn: Hostname=ldap://host:2170,o=infosys
    This entry gives some monitoring information about the BDII.
  • The second is the availability of the BDII content in a compressed form which is given by the following entry, dn: Hostname=ldap://host:2170,CompressionType=zip,o=infosys
The update order should hot matter however best practice should be followed and the top-level bdii should be updated first, followed by the site-level bdii and finally the resource-level BDII.

Please also have a look at the list of known issues.

This update fixes various bugs. For the full list of bugs, please see list below.
