       bdii - configuration files

DESCRIPTION

   bdii-update.conf
       Configuration for bdii-update: a list of source URLs for resource
       information.  Format: one unique name + one URL per line, shell-style
       commented.  For a site-level BDII each name represents a grid resource
       provided by the site, for a top-level BDII each name represents a whole
       site.

       Typical content of a bdii-update.conf file for a site-level BDII:

        CE     ldap://ce.example.com:2135/Mds-Vo-name=local,o=Grid
        SE     ldap://se.example.com:2135/Mds-Vo-name=local,o=Grid
        RB     ldap://rb.example.com:2135/Mds-Vo-name=local,o=Grid

       NOTE: when BDII_AUTO_UPDATE is set to yes in bdii.conf, this file will
       be periodically overwritten with the document referred to by the
       BDII_UPDATE_URL.

   bdii.conf
       Configuration set up parameters for bdii, bdii-fwd, and bdii-update.
       Format:
              attribute=value shell variable assignments, with case-sensitive
              attributes, shell-style commented

        BDII_PORT_READ
               BDII LDAP service port exposed to the outside.
               Allowed values: 1-65536, but may not overlap with
               the BDII_PORTS_WRITE

        BDII_PORTS_WRITE
               Ports used to connect to any of the set of slapd servers that
               host the directory content. At any time the port of the most
               up-to-date slapd is used as a backend by the bdii-fwd service
               to link to the BDII service port $BDII_PORT_READ. The slapd
               databases are updated cyclically, with each instance being
               used for up to a few minutes.

               Allowed values: space separated and quoted list of
                       non-identical ports, each between 1-65535,
                       non overlapping with BDII_PORT_READ
               Typical value: "2171 2172 2173"

        BDII_USER
               Username under which the bdii-related processes run.
               This user will own the slapd databases.
               Typical value: edguser

        BDII_BIND

               this bdii.
               Allowed values: any DN that is compatible with the schemas
               installed.
               Typical values:

               "Mds-Vo-name=example.com, o=Grid" for a site-level BDII
               "Mds-Vo-name=local, o=Grid"       for a  top-level BDII

        BDII_PASSWD
               Password used to access the backend slapd servers, used
               both to configure the slapd instances and in the bdii
               update script to access the same.
               Allowed values: any string, shell meta-characters must
               be escaped.

               an underlying information source.
               Allowed values: non-negative integer
               Typical value: 30

        BDII_BREATHE_TIME
               Period between BDII updates in seconds
               Allowed values: non-negative integer
               Typical value: 60

        BDII_AUTO_UPDATE
