ProcedureTo Set Up an Example Suffix

If you have not done so already, set up a directory instance with a suffix, dc=example,dc=com, containing data loaded from a sample LDIF file, install-path/ds6/ldif/Example.ldif.

  1. Create a new Directory Server instance.

    For example:


    $ dsadm create /local/ds
    Choose the Directory Manager password:
    Confirm the Directory Manager password:
    $ 
  2. Start the new Directory Server instance.

    For example:


    $ dsadm start /local/ds
    Server started: pid=4705
    $ 
  3. Create a suffix called dc=example,dc=com.

    For example, with long lines folded for the printed page:


    $ dsconf create-suffix -h localhost -p 1389 dc=example,dc=com
    Enter "cn=directory manager" password: 
    Certificate "CN=defaultCert, CN=hostname:1636" presented by the
     server is not trusted.
    Type "Y" to accept, "y" to accept just once,
     "n" to refuse, "d" for more details: Y
    $ 
  4. Load the sample LDIF.

    For example, with long lines folded for the printed page:


    $ dsconf import -h localhost -p 1389 \
     /opt/SUNWdsee/ds6/ldif/Example.ldif dc=example,dc=com
    Enter "cn=directory manager" password:  
    New data will override existing data of the suffix
     "dc=example,dc=com".
    Initialization will have to be performed on replicated suffixes. 
    Do you want to continue [y/n] ? y
