The following are definitions of the columns.
The server is identified by machine name and LDAP port. If your server is not registered, the nonregistered status is specified here. To register a server, use the procedure To Register a Server.
The secure port is used for LDAP over SSL. Sometimes this port is also called LDAPS.
Your server can have the following status:
The server is running normally.
The server is stopped and you can start it at any time.
A user has put the server into frozen mode, most probably in preparation for a backup operation. This status is not applicable to Directory Proxy Server.
The server is in read-only mode and does not accept any updates or changes. This status is not applicable to Directory Proxy Server.
The server is running, however a parameter has been modified, and the server must be restarted for the change to take effect.
DSCC does not have permission to manage the server. To allow DSCC to manage the server, click Directory Servers, a server name, and Enable Access.
A different product installation version was used when installing DSCC as compared with the version used when creating the server. You must use the latest product installation version to either reinstall DSCC or recreate the server.
Displays the server version information. The version information is displayed only when the server instance is started.
If a server has been assigned to a server group, the name of the group is shown. For more information about server groups, see To Manage Server Groups.
A server description is a user-defined text field that can be used to describe the server purpose and, if relevant, location.
This is the location of the server configuration files and log files. For Directory Server, it is also the default location for the server database. The instance path is defined when the server is created.
You can access all the actions listed below by clicking an action name, or by using the More Server Actions drop-down list to select an action.
