ABSTRACT:

After submitting changes to LDAP server properties, how do you refresh the server programmatically to update the values?

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

How can you programatically call the function that is equivalant to "Refresh NLDAP Server" in NWADMIN and in ConsoleOne using Java?

• String treeName; // i.e., NOVELL_INC

public static int notifyNldapServerToRefresh(JFrame parentFrame, String treeName, String hostServerDN) { if (hostServerDN == null || hostServerDN.length() == 0) { return -1; } String ncpServer = treeName + "/" + hostServerDN;

try { Hashtable hash = new Hashtable(); hash.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.novell.service.nds.naming.NdsInitialContextFactory"); hash.put("java.naming.provider.url", ncpServer);
