To Upgrade Shared Components Using Patches

Before You Begin

Before upgrading Directory Server Enterprise Edition to 6.3 using native packages, you must upgrade the shared components. You must be root to perform this procedure.

Using patches, you can upgrade shared components on Solaris, Linux, and Windows. On Linux, to install patches you must use installpatch, when available.

Select the platform as per your requirements and install all the patches specified for that platform. If newer patch revisions become available, use the newer ones instead of those shown in the table.

Choose the right NSS/NSPR/JSS patch for your system by getting the package version of SUNWpr and SUNtls on your system.

# pkginfo -l SUNWpr | grep VERSION 
# pkginfo -l SUNWtls | grep VERSION    

Then choose the right patch series from the table below.

On Windows, before you upgrade Common Agent Container Runtime shared component, you must run the following command:

cacaoadm.exe prepare-uninstall

Before upgrading Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 to 6.3, you need to upgrade only the Common Agent Container shared component.

1. Shut down any processes using the shared components.

2. If applicable, shut down the shared components.

3. Obtain the latest upgrade patches as shown in the table above.

   For more information on how to obtain the patches, see Getting the Software in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Release Notes.

4. Apply the appropriate patches for the shared components.

   Read the README.patchID file for detailed patch installation procedures.

5. Verify that the patch upgrades were successful.

   Read the README.patchID file for verification procedure.

6. If applicable, restart the shared components.

To Upgrade Directory Server Enterprise Edition Using Native Packages

Before You Begin

Make sure all the shared components are up-to-date. For more information, see To Upgrade Shared Components Using Patches.

If you already have Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2 installed, upgrade to version 6.3 using the following procedure.

You must be root to perform these steps.

All the Directory Server instances, Directory Proxy Server instances, and configuration information remain unaffected after you complete the Directory Server Enterprise Edition upgrade.

The following table displays the patch numbers that are required to upgrade Directory Server Enterprise Edition on different platforms. If newer patch revisions become available, use the newer ones instead of those shown in the table.

To make the localized Directory Server Enterprise Edition work successfully, install the localized patches before installing the core patches.

Each localization patch contains all the supported languages for the selected platform.

1. Stop the DSCC registry.

   • On Solaris

     # dsadm stop /var/opt/SUNWdsee/dscc6/dcc/ads

   • On Linux

     # dsadm stop /var/opt/sun/dscc6/dcc/ads

   • On Windows

     dsadm.exe stop C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\DSEE\var\dscc6\dcc\ads

2. Stop any running instances of Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server.

3. Upgrade the shared components. See To Upgrade Shared Components Using Patches.

4. Download the Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 patch.

   See Getting the Software in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Release Notes for more details.

5. Change to the directory where you have saved the patch.

6. Run the following command to install the patch.

   • Solaris OS

     Before upgrading Directory Server Enterprise Edition, you must install 119254-38 on Solaris 10 SPARC and 119255-38 on Solaris 10 x86. See Getting the Software in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Release Notes for information on downloading patches.

     Alternatively, use -G with the patchadd command on Solaris 10 SPARC and Solaris 10 x86 while applying the Directory Server Enterprise Edition upgrade patch.

     For example, # patchadd -G patch-id

     For rest of the Solaris OS, use the following command:

     # patchadd patch-id

   • Linux

     1. Open the directory where the installpatch file is located.

     2. Run installpatch.

        # ./installpatch

     During installation, if installpatch reports an error, you must resolve the error and install the patch again.

   • Windows

     1. Open the folder where the patch-id.exe executable file is located.

     2. Double click patch-id.exe.

     The localized patches are delivered within the base patch.

   After the successful installation of the patch, run the following commands:

   # dsccsetup console-unreg # dsccsetup console-reg

7. Start the Directory Server instances and Directory Proxy Server instances, if any.

8. Restart the DSCC registry.

Next Steps

After installing the software, see Environment Variables.

Installing Directory Server Enterprise Edition Using Zip Distribution

During the installation process, if dsee_deploy finds that Directory Server Enterprise Edition is already installed on your computer, it upgrades the previous installation automatically. Backup the Directory Server Enterprise Edition installation directory, if any, before upgrading to Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3, as later you will not be able to restore any previous Directory Server Enterprise Edition installation.

The zip version of Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 removes any previous partial installation of Directory Server Enterprise Edition.

You can install the zip distribution as non-root user.

To Install Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 From Zip Distribution

Before You Begin

On SuSE Linux:

• Directory Server Enterprise Edition for SuSE Linux is available only in the zip distribution. Identity Synchronization for Windows and Directory Editor components are not supported.

• On SuSE Linux 9, you must have SP4 on your system. If SP4 is not installed on your SuSE Linux 9 computer, upgrade your operating system. You can install Directory Server Enterprise Edition using any of the following procedures:

  • Install Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 zip distribution directly on SuSE Linux 9 SP4 system as mentioned in this section.

  • Upgrade the previous Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 zip installation. As Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 supports only SuSE Linux SP3, you must upgrade your operating system to SuSE Linux SP4 before upgrading Directory Server Enterprise Edition to 6.3. For more details, refer to the To Upgrade Directory Server Enterprise Edition From Zip Distribution section.

• On SuSE 64-bit, .pam-32bit-9-yyyymmddhhmm.rpm is a prerequisite for cacao to start. You must install it if not already present on your system.

• SuSE Linux Enterprise Server provides a set of scripts in /etc/profile.d/ to automatically set the appropriate environment as per the installed software. Therefore, you must reset the following Java environment variables to none before you start working on the product using commands.

  • JAVA_BINDIR

  • JAVA_HOME

  • JRE_HOME

  • JAVA_ROOT

On HP-UX:

• You must have HP-UX 11.23 installed on your computer. If not, you must upgrade your operating system. You can install Directory Server Enterprise Edition using any of the following procedures:

  • Install Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 zip distribution directly on HP-UX 11.23 system as mentioned in this section.

  • Upgrade the previous Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 or 6.1 zip installation. As Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 and 6.1 support only HP-UX 11.11, you must upgrade your operating system to HP-UX 11.23 before upgrading Directory Server Enterprise Edition to 6.3. For more details, refer to the To Upgrade Directory Server Enterprise Edition From Zip Distribution section.

Patch Table for Zip Distribution

Refer to the following table for information about the appropriate zip patch for your system. If newer patch revisions become available, use the newer ones instead of those shown in the table.

All the multilingual files are included in the above mentioned patches.

Complete the worksheet given below before you start your installation.

By default, the user and group IDs for zip installations are those of the user performing the installation.

1. Obtain the zip distribution for this installation.

2. Install the prerequisite patches or service packs for your platform.

   See Operating System Requirements in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Release Notes.

3. Change to the zip distribution directory that contains the dsee_deploy command.

4. Install the software with the dsee_deploy(1M) command.

   $ ./dsee_deploy install -i install-path options

   On Windows, browse to the zip distribution folder that contains the dsee_deploy command and run the following command:

   dsee_deploy install -i install-path options

   For example, the following command installs the component in the /local directory, assuming that you have write access to the directory.

   $ ./dsee_deploy install -i /local

   You can also use the --no-inter option to install in non-interactive mode, accepting the license without confirmation. Non-interactive mode is particularly useful for silent installation.

   This step installs a Common Agent Container, cacao, with the local Directory Service Control Center agent as well, allowing you to use DSCC to create server instances. The previous command works properly only if you have not yet installed a Common Agent Container using the default port, 11162.

   If you installed DSCC previously on the same system, a Common Agent Container using the default port is already installed. Specify a different port using the -p option.

   $ ./dsee_deploy install -i /local -p 11169

   During the installation process, a WAR file is saved on your system. The WAR file contains the DSCC web application which when deployed with the application server enables you to access and manage the server instances through web console. The functionality is similar to DSCC in native packages. For more information about WAR file, see Installing Directory Service Control Center From Zip Distribution.

   During the installation process, the multilingual packages are also installed.

5. (Optional) Load sample data in your directory.

   Examples that use command-line tools depend on sample data residing under the dc=example,dc=com suffix of your directory.

   You can set up part of the data that is required by creating a dc=example,dc=com suffix. You can then populate the suffix with entries from the ds6/ldif/Example.ldif file.

   1. Create a new Directory Server instance and start the instance.

      $ dsadm create -p port -P SSL-port instance-path $ dsadm start instance-path

   2. Read the Example.ldif file to find bind passwords needed in the examples.

   3. Create suffix and load the Example.ldif content into the directory by using the following commands:

      $ dsconf create-suffix -h localhost -p 1389 dc=example,dc=com $ dsconf import -h localhost -p 1389 install-path/ds6/ldif/Example.ldif \ dc=example,dc=com

      For more information, see To Create a Directory Server Instance From the Command Line.

   4. Generate test data for examples by using the makeldif(1) command and the following template:

      define suffix=dc=example,dc=com
      define maildomain=example.com
      
      branch: ou=test,[suffix]
      subordinateTemplate: person:100
      
      template: person
      rdnAttr: uid
      objectclass: top
      objectclass: person
      objectclass: organizationalPerson
      objectclass: inetOrgPerson
      givenName: <first>
      sn: <last>
      cn: {givenName} {sn}
      initials: {givenName:1}{sn:1}
      employeeNumber: <sequential>
      uid: test{employeeNumber}
      mail: {uid}@[maildomain]
      userPassword: auth{employeeNumber}{employeeNumber}
      telephoneNumber: <random>
      description: This is the description for {cn}.

   5. Copy the template content to template.ldif and use commands such as the following to generate the data in test.ldif and to load the content into the directory.

      $ cd install-path/dsrk6/bin/example_files/ $ ../makeldif -t test.template -o test.ldif Processing complete. 101 total entries written. $ ../ldapmodify -a -c -D uid=hmiller,dc=example,dc=com -w - -f test.ldif Enter bind password: …

      If you read Example.ldif, you see that the password for hmiller is hillock.

Next Steps

After installing the software, see Environment Variables.

Installing Directory Service Control Center From Zip Distribution

The Directory Server Enterprise Edition zip distribution includes a WAR file (dscc.war) that contains the Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) web application. The WAR file is deployed with the application server to enable you to do the following tasks:

• Connect to DSCC without having an operating system login account on the system hosting DSCC.

• Deploy DSCC without root privileges as the application server enables DSCC.

The WAR file supports the following application servers:

• Sun Java System Application Server 8.2

• Tomcat 5.5

The following two procedures contain information about deploying the WAR file with Sun Java System Application Server and Tomcat respectively.

To Deploy the WAR File with Sun Java System Application Server

After you install Directory Server Enterprise Edition, the WAR file, dscc.war, is at the following location:

install-path/var/dscc6/

1. Initialize the DSCC registry.

   $ install-path/dscc6/bin/dsccsetup ads-create Choose password for Directory Service Manager: Confirm password for Directory Service Manager: Creating DSCC registry... DSCC Registry has been created successfully

2. Create an application server instance.

   $ mkdir /local/domainroot $ setenv AS_DOMAINS_ROOT /local/domainroot $ cd app-server-install-path/bin $ asadmin create-domain --domaindir ${AS_DOMAINS_ROOT} --adminport 3737 \ --adminuser boss dscc

3. Edit the server.policy file.

   1. Open the server.policy file.

      $ vi ${AS_DOMAINS_ROOT}/dscc/config/server.policy

   2. Add the following statements to the end of the file:

      // Permissions for Directory Service Control Center grant codeBase "file:${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/applications/j2ee-modules/dscc/-" { permission java.security.AllPermission; };

   This configures the application server to grant all of the Java permissions to the DSCC application.

4. Deploy the WAR file in your application server instance.

   $ asadmin start-domain --domaindir ${AS_DOMAINS_ROOT} --user username dscc $ cp install-path/var/dscc6/dscc.war ${AS_DOMAINS_ROOT}/dscc/autodeploy

   For more information about creating and configuring application server instances and deploying the WAR file, refer to the Sun Java System Application Server Online Help.

5. Open DSCC.

   Use http://hostname:8080/dscc or https://hostname:8181/dscc based on the configuration of your application server.

   The Directory Service Manager Login page displays.

   See Getting Started With Directory Service Control Center.

To Deploy WAR File with Tomcat

After you install Directory Server Enterprise Edition, the WAR file, dscc.war, is at install-path/var/dscc6/.

The dscc.war is installed in the same way as any other web application, except the following settings:

• The application needs to communicate with the DSCC registry created using the dsccsetup ads-create command.

• You must disable the tag pooling on your Tomcat server instance by setting the enablePooling parameter value to false in web.xml.

The following example shows how to install DSCC in Tomcat on a Solaris 10 system.

1. Initialize the DSCC registry.

   $ install-path/dscc6/bin/dsccsetup ads-create Choose password for Directory Service Manager: Confirm password for Directory Service Manager: Creating DSCC registry... DSCC Registry has been created successfully

2. Identify your Tomcat installation and instance.

   $ setenv CATALINA_HOME tomcat-install-path $ setenv CATALINA_BASE tomcat-instance-path $ setenv JAVA_HOME jdk-home-dir

   For installing Tomcat and creating instances, refer to the Tomcat documentation.

3. Deploy the WAR file.

   Create the dscc directory as shown below:

   $ mkdir ${CATALINA_BASE}/webapps/dscc

   Copy the dscc.war file into newly created dscc folder and unzip the dscc.war file.

   $ unzip -d ${CATALINA_BASE}/webapps/dscc install-path/var/dscc6/dscc.war

   Add the emphasized text in the ${CATALINA_BASE}/conf/web.xml file as shown below:

   ... <servlet> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>fork</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>xpoweredBy</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> ... <init-param> <param-name>enablePooling</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup> </servlet> ....

   Verify the permissions of startup.sh (tomcat5.exe on Windows) and run the following command:

   $ ${CATALINA_HOME}/bin/startup.sh

4. Use http://hostname:8080/dscc to connect to DSCC.

   The Directory Service Manager Login page displays.

   See Getting Started With Directory Service Control Center.

To Upgrade Directory Server Enterprise Edition From Zip Distribution

Before You Begin

There is no different procedure to upgrade the Directory Server Enterprise Edition installation rather the dsee_deploy command automatically updates the installation if it finds any previous installation. But in case of SuSE Linux 9 and HP-UX, before upgrading the Directory Server Enterprise Edition installation, you must upgrade the operating system to SuSE Linux 9 SP4 and HP-UX 11.23 respectively. Refer to the following procedure to successfully upgrade your Directory Server Enterprise Edition installation to 6.3.

1. Stop cacao, Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server running instances that are created using the installation going to be patched. Also stop application server for WAR file and the DSCC registry.

2. In case of SuSE Linux 9 and HP-UX, upgrade your operating system.

   • Upgrade SuSE Linux 9 SP3 to SuSE Linux 9 SP4 to upgrade Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 installation to 6.3.

     On SuSE 64-bit, .pam-32bit-9-yyyymmddhhmm.rpm is a prerequisite for cacao to start. You must install it if not already present on your system.

   • Upgrade HP-UX 11.11 to HP-UX 11.23 to upgrade Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 or 6.1 installation to 6.3.

   Please refer to the corresponding documentation on how to upgrade the operating system, how to preserve the partition where Directory Server Enterprise Edition is installed, where to get the latest patch bundles.

3. Upgrade Directory Server Enterprise Edition to 6.3.

   • Use the dsee_deploy command from Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 zip distribution, with the same install-path, and cacao port that you had for your previous installation. The dsee_deploy command will restart cacao and DSCC registry.

     For step by step information, refer to To Install Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 From Zip Distribution.

   • Deploy the latest dscc.war file in the application server using the following commands:

     For step by step information, refer to Step 4 on Sun Java System Application Server and Step 3 on Tomcat application server.

   • Restart Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server instances, and application server for WAR file.

4. Start daemons only when both operating system is upgraded and Directory Server Enterprise Edition is installed.

See Also

For upgrading Directory Server Enterprise Edition to 6.3 on rest of the supported operating systems, the procedure is similar to the installation procedure. Refer To Install Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 From Zip Distribution for step by step information.

Getting Started With Directory Service Control Center

After installing Directory Service Control Center using native packages or zip distribution, use to following procedures to get started and troubleshoot the problems if you get any while accessing Directory Service Control Center.

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.

To Troubleshoot Directory Service Control Center Access

If there is any problem accessing Directory Service Control Center, use the following procedure on the host where you installed Directory Service Control Center using native packages.

You must be root to perform this procedure.

1. Verify that Directory Service Control Center has been initialized properly.

   Native Packages:

   root# /opt/SUNWdsee/dscc6/bin/dsccsetup status *** DSCC Application is registered in Sun Java (TM) Web Console *** DSCC Agent is registered in Cacao *** DSCC Registry has been created Path of DSCC registry is /var/opt/SUNWdsee/dscc6/dcc/ads Port of DSCC registry is 3998 ***

   Zip Distribution:

   $ install-path/dscc6/bin/dsccsetup status *** Sun Java (TM) Web Console is not installed *** DSCC Agent is registered in Cacao Cacao uses a custom port number (11168) *** DSCC Registry has been created Path of DSCC registry is /var/opt/SUNWdsee/dscc6/dcc/ads Port of DSCC registry is 3998 ***

   On Windows, run the following command to check the status of DSCC:

   C:\install-path\dscc6\bin>dsccsetup.exe status

   The default installation path for native packages on Solaris operating systems is /opt/SUNWdsee. For the default installation path on your operating system, see Default Paths.

   If you find any initialization problems with DSCC, fix them using the dsccsetup(1M) command.

2. Native packages installation. Check the status of Java Web Console and start using the smcwebserver command if not already running.

   root# /usr/sbin/smcwebserver status Sun Java(TM) Web Console is stopped root# /usr/sbin/smcwebserver start Starting Sun Java(TM) Web Console Version 3.0.2 ... The console is running.

   On Windows, run the following command to check the status of Java Web Console and start, if required.

   C:\install-path\share\webconsole\bin>smcwebserver status C:\install-path\share\webconsole\bin>smcwebserver start

3. If you see errors that pertain to the DSCC agent, check the Common Agent Container.

   The cacaoadm(1M) man page describes the error codes that the command returns. For the exact location of this command on your system, see Command Locations.
