<h1 class="topictitle1">Directory server</h1>
<div><p>You can export your policies to a directory server. Read this topic
to see the advantages of using or not using a directory server, Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) concepts and configuration, as well as the
quality of service (QoS) schema.</p>
<p>QoS policy configuration can be exported to a directory server, using LDAP
version 3.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Advantages to using a directory server</h4><p>Exporting
QoS policies to a directory server makes your policies easier to manage. There
are three ways to use the directory server:</p>
<ul><li>The configuration data can be stored on one local directory server for
many systems to share.</li>
<li>The configuration data can be configured, stored, and only used by one
system (not shared).</li>
<li>The configuration data can reside on a directory server that holds data
for other systems, but is not shared between those other systems. This allows
you to use a single location to back up and save data for several systems.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Advantages to saving exclusively on your local server</h4><p>Saving
QoS policies on your local server is not as complex. There are a number of
advantages to using policies locally:</p>
<ul><li>Eliminate the complexity of LDAP configuration for users who do not need
it.</li>
<li>Improve performance, because writing to LDAP is not the fastest method.</li>
<li>Easier to duplicate a configuration between different iSeries™. You
can copy the file from one system to another. Because there is no primary
or secondary machine, you can tailor each policy directly on the individual
servers.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">LDAP resources</h4><p>If you decide to export your policies
to an LDAP server, you must be familiar with LDAP concepts and directory structures
before you continue. Within the QoS function in iSeries Navigator,
you can configure a directory server that is used with your QoS policy.</p>

<ul class="ullinks">
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzak8keyword.htm">Keywords</a></strong><br />
When you configure your directory server, you need to determine whether to associate keywords with each quality of service (QoS) configuration.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzak8tree.htm">Distinguished name</a></strong><br />
When you want to manage part of your directory, you refer to the <em>distinguished
name (DN)</em> or (if you choose) a keyword.</li>
