   1. On the Sun Software Gateway page, click the Get It tab.

   2. Click the checkbox for the Sun Java Identity Management Suite.

   3. Click the Submit button.

   4. If you are not registered, register.

   5. Log in to download the software.

   6. Click the Download Center at the upper left of the screen.

   7. Under Identity Management, download the most recent software that is appropriate for your platform.

2. In the /etc/hosts file, add the FQDN to your system's hostname entry.

   The FQDN is the Fully Qualified Domain Name. This name is a combination of the host name and the administration domain, as in:

   Answer the questions by using the information from Collect Information for the Directory Server for LDAP.

4. Ensure that the Directory Server starts at every boot.

   Templates for the SMF services for the Directory Server are in the Sun Java System Directory Server packages.

   • For a Trusted Extensions Directory Server, enable the service.

     # dsadm stop /export/home/ds/instances/your-instance # dsadm enable-service -T SMF /export/home/ds/instances/your-instance # dsadm start /export/home/ds/instances/your-instance

     For information about the dsadm command, see the dsadm(1M) man page.

   • For a proxy Directory Server, enable the service.

     # dpadm stop /export/home/ds/instances/your-instance # dpadm enable-service -T SMF /export/home/ds/instances/your-instance # dpadm start /export/home/ds/instances/your-instance

     For information about the dpadm command, see the dpadm(1M) man page.

5. Verify your installation.

   # dsadm info /export/home/ds/instances/your-instance Instance Path: /export/home/ds/instances/your-instance Owner: root(root) Non-secure port: 389 Secure port: 636 Bit format: 32-bit State: Running Server PID: 298 DSCC url: - SMF application name: ds--export-home-ds-instances-your-instance Instance version: D-A00
