To Create a Directory Proxy Server Instance

You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.

If you use DSCC to create a new server instance, you can choose to copy some or all of the server configuration settings from an existing server.

1. Create the instance of Directory Proxy Server.

   $ dpadm create -p port instance-path

   For example, to create a new instance in the directory /local/dps, use this command:

   $ dpadm create -p 2389 /local/dps

   To specify any other parameter of the instance, see the dpadm(1M) man page.

2. Type a password if required.

3. Confirm that the instance has been created by verifying the status of the instance.

   $ dpadm info instance-path

4. (Optional) If you installed Directory Proxy Server using the native packages, and your operating provides a service management solution, you can enable the server to be managed as a service, as shown in this table.

   Operating System	Command
   Solaris 10	dpadm enable-service --type SMF instance-path
   Solaris 9	dpadm autostart instance-path
   Windows	dpadm enable-service --type WIN_SERVICE instance-path

5. (Optional) Register the server instance with Directory Service Control Center by using either of the following methods.

   • Login to DSCC, and then use the Register Existing Server action on the Proxy Servers tab.

     Access DSCC using http://hostname:8080/dscc7 or https://hostname:8181/dscc7 as per your application server configuration.

   • Use the command dsccreg add-server.

     $ dsccreg add-server -h hostname --description "My Proxy" /local/dps Enter DSCC administrator's password: /local/dps is an instance of DPS Enter password of "cn=Proxy Manager" for /local/dps: Connecting to /local/dps Enabling DSCC access to /local/dps Registering /local/dps in DSCC on hostname.

     See dsccreg(1M) for more information about the command.
