To start working with Directory Service Control Center

1. Initialize DSCC with the dsccsetup initialize command.

   For example, on a Solaris system the following command performs initialization.

   root# /opt/SUNWdsee/dscc6/bin/dsccsetup initialize *** Registering DSCC Application in Sun Java(TM) Web Console This operation is going to stop Sun Java(TM) Web Console. Do you want to continue ? [y,n] y Stopping Sun Java(TM) Web Console... Registration is on-going. Please wait... DSCC is registered in Sun Java(TM) Web Console Restarting Sun Java(TM) Web Console Please wait : this may take several seconds... Sun Java(TM) Web Console restarted successfully *** Registering DSCC Agent in Cacao... Checking Cacao status... Starting Cacao... DSCC agent has been successfully registered in Cacao. *** Choose password for Directory Service Manager: Confirm password for Directory Service Manager: Creating DSCC registry... DSCC Registry has been created successfully ***

   The dsccsetup command is located in install-path/dscc6/bin/dsccsetup. See Default Paths to determine the default install-path for your system.

   On Windows, run the following command:

   install-path\dscc6\bin>dsccsetup.exe initialize

2. Access DSCC through Java Web Console in your browser.

   To access Console in a different locale, set the preferred language for your browser. For information on setting the preferred language for your browser, see the respective browser documentation.

   1. Login to Java Web Console using your operating system login information or server's root login information.

      If you do not login to Java Web Console using server's root login information, the system might require you to have the root privileges while performing certain tasks such as starting the server instances.

      By default, the URL to access Java Web Console is https://hostname:6789

      

   2. Click the Directory Service Control Center link.

      

   3. Login to DSCC as Directory Service Manager.

      Directory Service Manager's entry is stored in the DSCC registry. Directory Service Manager has administrator access to DSCC. Directory Service Manager also has administrator access to the server instances registered with DSCC.

      

   4. Begin managing your servers through Directory Service Control Center.

      

3. After Directory Service Control Center is running, enable Java Web Console to restart when the system reboots.

   On a Solaris system, the following command enables restart upon reboot.

   root# /usr/sbin/smcwebserver enable

   On Windows, the following command enables restart upon reboot.

   C:\install-path\share\webconsole\bin>smcwebserver enable

   For the exact location of this command on your system, see Command Locations.

4. (Optional) Enable the Common Agent Container, cacao, to restart when the operating system reboots.

   root# cacaoadm enable

   On Windows, run the following command to enable the cacao:

   Native packages installation:

   C:\install-path\share\cacao_2\bin>cacaoadm enable -i instance-path -f password.txt

   Zip distribution installation:

   C:\install-path\dsee6\cacao_2\bin>cacaoadm enable -i instance-path -f password.txt

   If you decide not to enable the common agent container, the operating system would not be able to use DSCC to communicate with the servers handled by that instance of cacao after rebooting the operating system.
