To Create a Base Suffix for the User Data Instance on Directory Server 2

Use this procedure to create the base suffix in which the user entries will be stored.

Before You Begin

This procedure assumes you have just completed To Create a User Data Instance on Directory Server 2 and are still logged into the ds2.idp-example.com host machine as a root user.

1. Run dsconf create-suffix to create a base suffix.

   # ./dsconf create-suffix -p 1489 -B dbExample -L /var/opt/mps/idp-users/db/exampleDS dc=company,dc=com

2. Provide the appropriate information when prompted.

   Certificate "CN=ds2, CN=1736, CN=directory Server, O=Sun Microsystems" presented by the server is not trusted. Type "Y" to accept, "y" to accept just once, "n" to refuse, "d" for more details: Y Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager

   ---

   Tip –

   When you enter an uppercase Y, you are not asked for the certificate again in the next steps.

   ---

3. Run dsconf list-suffixes to verify that the base suffix was successfully created.

   # ./dsconf list-suffixes -p 1489 Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager dc=company,dc=com

   If the base suffix was successfully created, dc=company,dc=com is returned. You can also see idp-users in a command line list of directory instances.

   # cd /var/opt/mps # ls idp-users serverroot

4. Log out of the ds2.idp-example.com host machine.
