To Install Directory Service Control Center From Native Packages

This procedure covers installation of Directory Service Control Center, also known as DSCC, and remote administration command-line tools.

You must be root to perform this procedure.

You can also install Directory Service Control Center with the Zip distribution by deploying the WAR file provided with the software packages. For more information, see Installing Directory Service Control Center From Zip Distribution.

When you install DSCC, you automatically install Directory Server from native packages. DSCC uses its own local instance of Directory Server to store information about your directory service configuration. The instance is referred to as the DSCC Registry.

You can use the Directory Server software that is installed alongside DSCC to create your own additional Directory Server instances on the system.
