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.

When you install DSCC, you automatically also 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.

Before You Begin

Obtain the Java Enterprise System distribution for this installation, as shown in the following figure.

Complete the worksheet that follows for your installation.

1. Install prerequisite patches or service packs for your platform.

   See Operating System Requirements in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 Release Notes for details.

2. With the Java Enterprise System distribution, run the Java ES installer as root.

   # ./installer

3. Select the Directory Service Control Center component for installation.

   

4. Choose to configure the software later, as you will register the software and create server instances after installation.

   

5. Complete installation with the Java ES installer.

   After you complete installation, the native packages are installed on the system.

6. 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.

7. Access DSCC through Java Web Console in your browser.

   1. Login to Java Web Console.

      By default, the URL to access Java Web Console is of the following form.

      https://hostname:6789

      

   2. Click the Directory Service Control Center link.

      

   3. Login as Directory Service Manager.

      Directory Service Manager's entry is stored in the Directory Service Control Center registry. Directory Service Manager has administrator access to Directory Service Control Center. Directory Service Manager also has administrator access to the server instances registered with Directory Service Control Center.

      

   4. Begin managing your servers through Directory Service Control Center.

      

8. After Directory Service Control Center is working, 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

   For the exact location of this command on your system, see Command Locations.

9. (Optional) Enable the Common Agent Container, cacao, to restart when the operating system reboots.

   root# cacaoadm enable
