Table 1–8 Directory Server Configuration Variables

Variable 

Description 

DIRECTORY_MODE 

Directory Server modes: 

1 = Use for a new installation of a Directory Information Tree (DIT). 

2 = Use for an existing DIT. The naming attributes and object classes are the same, so the configuration scripts load the installExisting.ldif and umsExisting.ldif files.

The configuration scripts also update the LDIF and properties files with the actual values entered during configuration (for example, BASE_DIR, SERVER_HOST, and ROOT_SUFFIX). 

This update is also referred to as “tag swapping,” because the configuration scripts replace the placeholder tags in the files with the actual configuration values. 

3 = Use for an existing DIT when you want to do a manual load. The naming attributes and object classes are different, so the configuration scripts do not load the installExisting.ldif and umsExisting.ldif files. The scripts perform tag swapping (described for mode 2).

You should inspect and modify (if needed) the LDIF files and then manually load the LDIF files and services. 

4 = Use for an existing multi-server installation. The configuration scripts do not load the LDIF files and services, because the operation is against an existing Access Manager installation. The scripts perform tag swapping only (described for mode 2) and adds a server entry in the platform list. 

5 = Use for an existing upgrade. The scripts perform tag swapping only (described for mode 2).
