PMDF System Manager's Guide

The PMDF crdb directory agent can update PMDF crdb databases such as the PMDF alias database, reverse database, directory databases, or general database. A single such directory agent can update multiple PMDF crdb databases. The PMDF crdb directory agent is a PMDF channel, and hence must be added to the PMDF configuration like any other channel. For instance, if the system on which the PMDF crdb directory agent runs is called example.com, then you could configure the PMDF crdb directory agent by adding the line

dbsync.example.com $U%dbsync.example.com@DB-DAEMON

to the rewrite rules section of the PMDF configuration file, and

sync_db_local single DB-DAEMON

to the channel definition section of the PMDF configuration file.

The master channel will be run automatically, just as for any other master channel.

In addition, there are a few options that need to be set in the channel option file:
PMDF_TABLE:sync_db_local_option. (OpenVMS) or
/pmdf/table/sync_db_local_option (unix) or
C:\pmdf\table\sync_db_local_option (NT). These options are:

DIRECTORY_MASTER (RFC 822 address)

This specifies the e-mail address of the person to receive exception reports from the directory agent.

SECRET (string)

This specifies the shared secret for verifying and constructing signatures.
