Conventions Used in This Book
This section explains the conventions used in this book.

Monospaced font—This typeface is used for any text that appears on the computer screen or text that you should type. It is also used for filenames, functions, and examples.

Note. Notes and Warnings mark important information. Make sure you read the information before continuing with a task.

|—The vertical bar is used as a separator for user interface elements. For example, Configuration|Logs means you should go to the Configuration tab on the Directory Server Console and then select the Logs icon.

Throughout this book you will see path references of the form

<NSHOME>/slapd-<serverID>/...

In these situations, <NSHOME> represents the directory where you installed the server, and <serverID> represents the server identifier you gave the server when you installed it. For example, if you installed your server in /export/ns-home and gave the server an identifier of phonebook, then the actual path would be

/export/ns-home/slapd-phonebook/. . .
