The SLAMD Distributed Load Generation Engine is a Java application that is designed
to stress test and analyze the performance of network-based applications. It was originally
developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. to benchmark and analyze the performance of LDAP
directory servers. SLAMD is available as an open source application under the Sun
Public License, an OSI-approved open source license. To obtain information about SLAMD, go
to http://www.slamd.com/. SLAMD is also available as a java.net project. See https://slamd.java.net/.
Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) technology supports accessing the Directory Server using
LDAP and DSML v2 from Java applications. For information about JNDI, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/jndi/.
The JNDI Tutorial contains detailed descriptions and examples of how to use JNDI. This

Directory Server Enterprise Edition was licensed as a standalone product, as a
component of Sun Java Enterprise System, as part of a suite of Sun
products, such as the Sun Java Identity Management Suite, or as an add-on
package to other software products from Sun. Java Enterprise System was a software
infrastructure that supported enterprise applications distributed across a network or Internet environment. Directory
Server Enterprise Edition was licensed as a component of Java Enterprise System, and
you should be familiar with the system documentation at http://docs.sun.com/coll/1286.3.
Identity Synchronization for Windows uses Message Queue with a restricted license. Message Queue
documentation is available at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19340-01/820-6740/index.html.
Identity Synchronization for Windows works with Microsoft Windows password policies.

Default Paths and Command Locations
This section explains the default paths used in the documentation, and gives the
locations of commands on different operating systems and deployment types.
Default Paths
The table in this section describes the default paths that are used in
this document. For complete descriptions of the files installed, see the following product
documentation.
Table P-2 Default Paths
|
|
|
|---|
install-path |
Represents the base installation directory for Directory Server Enterprise Edition software. The
software is installed in directories below this base install-path. For example, Directory
Server software is installed in install-path/ds6/. |
When you install from a zip distribution
using dsee_deploy, the default install-path is the current directory. You can set
the install-path using the -i option of the dsee_deploy command. See the
Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Man Page Reference
When you install from a native package distribution, such as you would using
the Java Enterprise System installer, the default install-path is one of the following
locations:
Solaris systems - /opt/SUNWdsee/. Red Hat systems - /opt/sun/. Windows systems - C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\DSEE.
|
instance-path |
Represents the full path to an instance of Directory Server or Directory
Proxy Server. The documentation uses /local/ds/ for Directory Server and /local/dps/ for Directory
Proxy Server. |
No default path exists. Instance paths must nevertheless always be found on
a local file system. The following directories are recommended: /var on Solaris systems /global if
you are using Sun Cluster |
