Directory Server Only Example

With Directory Server Enterprise Edition, you can install Directory Server Core, Directory Proxy Server, and the tools for administering your directory service remotely. Directory Server provides LDAP and DSML directory services, managing client access to your directory database. Directory Proxy Server offers proxy LDAP service with configurable load balancing and routing. Directory Proxy Server also enables data distribution for high scalability, and virtual directory access to both LDAP and relational databases. Remote administration tools include the web based Directory Service Control Center, and command line remote configuration tools.

In production deployments, you typically deploy each Directory Server Enterprise Edition component on a different host. Before deploying Directory Server Enterprise Edition software in production, read the Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 Deployment Planning Guide.

This example provides guidelines for installing Directory Server on a single host.

Requirements and Sequence Issues

Directory Server has no dependencies on other Java ES product components.

• If you are using this product component with Sun Cluster software, you must perform a precise series of tasks before installing any product components. Refer to Sun Cluster Software Example

• Directory Server must be running before installing other product components that depend on Directory Server.

• If your deployment calls for Schema 2, you must configure Directory Server for Schema 2 before implementing any other product components.

To Develop a Sequence for Directory Server

The following high-level tasks are required:

1. Checking the installation sequence guidelines

   Check to see what sequence guidelines apply. Refer to Table 2–1.

2. Checking the installation prerequisites

   Check to see what installation prerequisites apply. Refer to Table 1–3.

3. Planning your schema

   For guidelines, refer to LDAP Schema and LDAP Directory Tree Structure in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Planning Guide.

4. Running the Java ES installer

5. At component selection, selecting Directory Server

   Directory Preparation Tool is automatically selected.

6. Resolving incompatibilities

   The installer verifies software on your host and provides guidance if incompatibilities are identified.

7. Verifying installation directories

8. Selecting the Configure Now or Configure Later type

   1. For the Configure Now type, configuration pages are displayed for the local product components that can be configured during installation.

      Gather your configuration information from the tables in Chapter 3, Configuration Information, in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Update 1 Installation Reference for UNIX.

   2. For the Configure Later type, configuration pages are not displayed.

9. Running the installation

10. Viewing the Installation Summary and Log

11. Starting Directory Server
