This procedure covers installation of Directory Server from native packages. You must be root to perform this procedure.
If you installed Directory Service Control Center, you automatically installed Directory Server from native packages. You can use the Directory Server software that is installed alongside DSCC to create your own additional Directory Server instances on the system.
Obtain the Java Enterprise System distribution for this installation, as shown in the following figure:
Complete the following worksheet for your installation.
Requisite Information |
Hints |
Your Answers |
---|---|---|
Fully qualified hostname of the system where you install Directory Server |
Example: ds.example.com | |
(Optional) Cacao common agent container port number to access from Directory Service Control Center |
Default: 11162 | |
File system paths where you create Directory Server instances |
Example: /local/ds/ Create instances only on local file systems, never on network–mounted file systems such as NFS. Each path is henceforth referred to as an instance-path. | |
LDAP port number |
Default: 389 - root installation; 1389 - non-root installation | |
LDAP/SSL port number |
Default: 636 - root installation; 1636 - non-root installation | |
Directory Manager DN |
Default: cn=Directory Manager | |
Directory Manager password |
Must be at least 8 characters long | |
Base suffix DN |
Example: dc=example,dc=com | |
(UNIX systems) Server user (uid) |
Example: noaccess | |
(UNIX systems) Server group (gid) |
Example: noaccess |
Install prerequisite patches or service packs for your platform.
Using the Java Enterprise System distribution, run the Java ES installer as root.
root# ./installer |
Select the Directory Server component for installation.
If you do not want to install the multilingual packages, deselect the Install multilingual package(s) for all selected components check box.
Choose to configure the software later, as you will register the software and create server instances after installation.
Complete installation with the Java ES installer.
You can now create server instances on the system. See Server Instance Creation for details.
(Optional) Enable the Common Agent Container, cacao, to restart when the operating system reboots.
root# cacaoadm enable |
If you decide not to enable the common agent container, the operating system would not be able to use DSCC to communicate with the servers handled by that instance of cacao after rebooting the operating system.
After installing the software, see Environment Variables.
