During the installation process, if dsee_deploy finds an existing instance of Directory Server Enterprise Edition, it upgrades the instance automatically. Backup the Directory Server Enterprise Edition installation directory, if any, before upgrading to Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2, as later you will not be able to restore any previous Directory Server Enterprise Edition installation.
This version removes any previous partial installation of Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
You can install the zip distribution as non-root user.
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.
Operating System |
Patch number |
---|---|
Solaris SPARC | |
Solaris 9 x86 | |
Solaris 10 x86 and AMD x64 | |
Linux | |
Windows |
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.
Obtain the zip distribution for this installation.
Perform any of the following based on your requirements.
Stop all of the running Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server instances, if any.
If no previous installation of Directory Server Enterprise Edition exists, install the prerequisite patches or service packs for your platform.
Change to the zip distribution directory that contains the dsee_deploy command.
Install the software with the dsee_deploy(1M) 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. 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.
Restart Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server instances, if any.
(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 ldif/Example.ldif file.
Read the Example.ldif file to find bind passwords needed in the examples.
After you load the Example.ldif content into the directory, 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}.
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 -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.
After installing the software, see Environment Variables.
