Description Christian Tramnitz 2006-08-28 16:56:25 UTC

Description of problem: The adminserver does not bind to the IP address of a
virtual interface, such as eth0:1

How reproducible: Console does not accept IP to be entered that are bound to a
virtual interface. When using a virtual interface IP during setup the servers
binds to all IPs (0.0.0.0)


Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup virtual interface with a new IP (i.e. 1.2.3.4)
2a. run setup and configure to listen to 1.2.3.4
-or-
2a. run console and configure to listen to 1.2.3.4
  

Actual results:
2a) will result in the server listening on any interfaces (0.0.0.0)
2b) won't accept input with the following error message:
 Status: Failure
 Attribute[configuration.nsserveraddress] has invalid value


Expected results:
Bind to IP that was configured (only)

Additional info:
This will occur on hosts with multiple IPs one interface, as usually seen in
clustered environments.

The setup-ds-admin.pl program needs a FQDN passed to it, not an IP address.  By default, both ns-slapd and httpd will listen on all interfaces.  The FQDN is used for other purposes than the interface(s) to listen on.

Comment 4 Nathan Kinder 2011-02-16 20:12:22 UTC

To control what addresses ns-slapd listens on, you must set nsslapd-listenhost in cn=config to the hostname or address that you want.  You can also set this in via 389-console.

To control what addresses httpd listens on, you can set the listen address via 389-console.  You can alternatively set it as the Listen parameter in /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf.

I have verified that Directory Server, Admin Server, and Console all work when setting both servers to listen only on a virtual interface with the above methods on my f14 test system.  Closing as NOTABUG.
