The Directory Service Session screen displays the full path name of the interfaces file and lists the server entries contained within it.
Add new server entry – displays the Server Entry Editor window, where you specify the name and network addresses for a new server entry.
Modify server entry – lets you view and modify the network addresses for a selected server entry. To view or modify a server entry, select the server in the list, then click Modify server entry to display the server’s attributes in the Server Entry Editor window.
Copy server entry – lets you copy one or more entries to another interfaces file.
Close Session – closes the session window and writes changes to the interfaces file.
For procedures on using these buttons, see “Modify Server Entries in Windows”.
Clicking the Add new server entry or Modify server entry button in the Session screen displays the Server Entry Editor window.
You use the Server Entry Editor window to view or edit server entries in an interfaces file:
Server name – if you are adding a server entry, type the name of the new server. If you are editing a server entry, you can edit the name field to rename the server. The new name cannot already exist in the interfaces file.
Available network transports – a list of the network addresses where the server accepts client connections.
To create a new address, click Add network transport. See “Modify Server Entries in Windows”.
To edit an existing address, click Modify network transport. See “Modify Server Entries in Windows”.
To remove a selected network address, click Delete network transport.
To rearrange the order of addresses in the list, click Move network transport up or Move network transport down.
OK – commits your changes and closes the window. Changes to the interfaces file are not applied until you close the session using the Close Session button in the Directory Service Session screen.
Cancel – closes the window and discards any edits.
