This reference describes server configuration settings
that you can view and edit with the dsconfig
command.
The dsconfig
command is
the primary tool for managing the server configuration,
which follows an object-oriented configuration model.
Each configuration object has its own properties.
Configuration objects can be related to each other
by inheritance and by reference.
The server configuration model exposes a wide range of configurable features.
As a consequence, the dsconfig
command has many subcommands.
Subcommands exist to create, list, and delete configuration objects,
and to get and set properties of configuration objects.
Their names reflect these five actions:
create-object
list-objects
delete-object
get-object-prop
set-object-prop
Each configuration object has a user-friendly name,
such as Connection Handler
.
Subcommand names use lower-case, hyphenated versions of the friendly names,
as in create-connection-handler
.
Tabs in the left menu show alternative views of the configuration model:
dsconfig
subcommands
with links to pages describing their use.
