Pre-Configuring the Directory Server Enterprise Edition Installation

After installing the Directory Server Enterprise Edition software successfully, you must pre-configure the software to make it functional.

This section includes the following subsections:

To Pre-Configure Directory Service Control Center

The Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) is a web-based interface to manage Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server instances.

Initialize the DSCC registry.
```
$ install-path/bin/dsccsetup ads-create
Choose password for Directory Service Manager:directory-service-pwd
Confirm password for Directory Service Manager:directory-service-pwd

Creating DSCC registry...
DSCC Registry has been created successfully
```
The value that you provide for directory-service-pwd, will be needed to authenticate the DSCC login page and is also used as a DSCC registry password.
DSCC uses its own local instance of Directory Server to store information about your directory service configuration. The instance is referred to as the DSCC Registry.
Create the WAR file for DSCC.
```
$ install-path/bin/dsccsetup war-file-create

Created dscc-war-file-path
```
Make a note of the dscc-war-file-path, which is the path of the DSCC war file.
Note the port and the path assigned to DSCC registry.
```
# install-path/bin/dsccsetup status
...
Path of DSCC registry is dscc-registry-path
Port of DSCC registry is dscc-registry-port
...
```
The dscc-registry-port is the port assigned to the DSCC registry by dsccsetup ads-create. The default port that is assigned to the DSCC registry is 3998.
Deploy the WAR file in any of the supported application server instance.
For example deployment procedures, refer to Appendix A, Deploying the DSCC WAR File.

Register the DSCC agent in Common Agent Container.
```
$install-path/bin/dsccsetup cacao-reg

Configuring Cacao...
Cacao will listen on port dscc-agent-port
```
The dscc-agent-port specifies the port of the DSCC agent.
Note - On Windows 2008, for a non-administrator user, the Cacao configuration fails. To solve this problem, set the following Windows registry parameters to zero:
```
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableInstallerDetection
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLUA
```

You must make a note of the following information that is gathered during the pre-configuration operation.
