Document Conventions Used in This Guide

---

This guide uses conventions for the Solaris operating environment. If you are installing the Calendar Server on another UNIX operating system or a Windows NT system, use the file path equivalents for your operating system whenever Solaris file paths are shown.

Monospaced Font

The Monospaced Font typeface is used for any text that appears on the computer screen or text that you should type. It is also used for file names, distinguished names, functions, and examples.

Italicized Font

The Italicized Font typeface represents text that you enter using information that is unique to your installation. It is used for server directory paths and names. For example, in this guide you will see directory path references in the form:

server-root/cal/bin

In these references, server-root represents the directory location in which you installed the server. For example:

• The default installation on Solaris systems uses the path: /opt/SUNWics5/ as the server-root for the software files. Therefore, if you choose the default installation directory, server-root/cal represents:

  /opt/SUNWics5/cal

• On UNIX systems other than Solaris systems, the default installation location is: /opt/iPlanet/CalendarServer5/, in which case server-root/cal represents:

  /opt/iPlanet/CalendarServer5/cal

• On Windows NT systems, the default installation location is: c:\Program Files\iPlanet\CalendarServer5\, in which case server-root/cal represents:

  c:\Program Files\iPlanet\CalendarServer5\cal

Square Brackets [  ]

Square (or straight) brackets [ ] enclose optional parameters. For example, the -q and -m options are optional in the following form of the syntax for theics2migrate migration utility:

ics2migrate [-q] [-m ldap]

Vertical Bar (|)

A vertical bar (|) separates alternatives in a horizontal list. For example, the -s, -f, and -l options have alternatives you can specify:

ics2migrate [-q] [-m db] [-s def|none] [-f def|none]
  [-l min|max] source target

Command-Line Prompts

Command line prompts (% for a C-Shell or $ for a Korn or Bourne shell) are not specified in the examples. Depending on the operating system you are using, you will see a variety of different command line prompts. However, you should enter the command as it appears in this document unless specifically noted otherwise.
