.LP

.SH EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

\fBarc-infoindex-server\fR accepts registrations with information
about local information systems and other arc-infoindex-servers. It
also responds to status queries returning the list of registered
resources and their registration status (valid, invalid or purged).

Queries are accepted on a FIFO and are normally forwarded from a slapd
server through an arc-infoindex-relay process. The first line of a
query should contain the name of a FIFO on which the response should
be returned. The remaining part of the query should be a Globus MDS
query in LDIF format.

To stop arc-infoindex-server write the special query "STOP" to the
server FIFO.

.SH FILES

.IP "\fB/etc/arc.conf\fR"
Several resource indices can be kept in the same server. Each of them
should have an [infosys/index] block in the configuration file. The
set of resoures that are allowed to register to each index can be
limited using allowreg keys.

Here is an example configuration:

.nf
[infosys/index/Sweden]
allowreg="*.uu.se:2135"
allowreg="*.lu.se:2135"
allowreg="*.liu.se:2135"
allowreg="*.umu.se:2135"
allowreg="*.chalmers.se:2135"
allowreg="*.kth.se:2135"
