82 Netscape Directory Server Gateway Customization Guide
For compatibility with HTTP clients that can’t handle an HTTP response with a
charset parameter in the content-type, comment out this parameter in the.conf
file. this prevents the gateway from sending an explicit charset to gateway
clients. When no charset parameter is defined, the gateway by default transmits
ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1).
The charset parameter is ignored by Netscape Communicator 4.0 and Internet
Explorer 4.0 and greater clients, which request the UTF-8 charset by default.
Forcing these clients to use a non-UTF-8 charset (such as Latin-1) requires the
ignoreAcceptCharsetFrom parameter, introduced in Directory Server 4.0.
Format charset <charset>
Example charset UTF-8
For more information about charsets, see RFC 1345, which defines the syntax of
charset names.
configdir
Description Specifies the location of the configuration directory of the gateway. These
include the object class templates, search configuration files, search result
templates, and script files used to dynamically generate HTML forms for the
user.
The configuration directory for the default gateway (dsgw.conf) is ../config. The
configuration directory for Directory Express (pb.conf) is ../pbconfig.
Format configdir “<configuration directory>”
Example configdir “../airiusconfig”
dirmgr
Description Specifies the distinguished name of the directory manager. This is the DN used
to bind to the Directory Server when users authenticate as the directory
manager from the gateway. Netscape recommends using a DN other than the
root DN for this purpose. It is intended that the DN specified here has read and
write authority for the subtree that the gateway sees.
Format dirmgr “<distinguished name>”
