bdii-update.conf

Configuration for bdii-update: a list of source URLs for resource information.Format: one unique name + one URL per line, shell-style commented.For a site-level BDII each name represents a grid resource provided by the site,for a top-level BDII each name represents a whole site.

Typical content of a bdii-update.conf file for a site-level BDII:

 CE     ldap://ce.example.com:2135/Mds-Vo-name=local,o=Grid SE     ldap://se.example.com:2135/Mds-Vo-name=local,o=Grid RB     ldap://rb.example.com:2135/Mds-Vo-name=local,o=Grid

NOTE: when BDII_AUTO_UPDATE is set to yes in bdii.conf, this file will beperiodically overwritten with the document referred to by the BDII_UPDATE_URL.

bdii.conf

At any time the port of the most up-to-date        slapd is used as a backend by the bdii-fwd service to link to the        BDII service port $BDII_PORT_READ. The slapd databases are updated        cyclically, with each instance being used for up to a few minutes.

        Allowed values: space separated and quoted list of                non-identical ports, each between 1-65535,                non overlapping with BDII_PORT_READ        Typical value: "2171 2172 2173"

 BDII_USER        Username under which the bdii-related processes run.        This user will own the slapd databases.        Typical value: edguser

        "Mds-Vo-name=example.com, o=Grid" for a site-level BDII        "Mds-Vo-name=local, o=Grid"       for a  top-level BDII

 BDII_PASSWD        Password used to access the backend slapd servers, used        both to configure the slapd instances and in the bdii        update script to access the same.        Allowed values: any string, shell meta-characters must        be escaped.        Typical value: site specific
