Pre-Configuring the Directory Server Enterprise Edition Installation

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

This section includes the following subsections:

• To Pre-Configure Directory Service Control Center

• To Pre-Configure the DSCC Agent

To Pre-Configure Directory Service Control Center

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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Deploy the WAR file in any of the supported application server instance.

   For example deployment procedures, refer to Appendix A, Deploying DSCC WAR File With Supported Application Servers.

To Pre-Configure the DSCC Agent

1. 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
