For each Directory Server instance in your solution, you must input values that configure the instance to interoperate with the other components in the solution. For example, if your solution has multiple Directory Server instance, the configuration values must configure the Directory ServerDirectory Server instances to interoperate with each other. Use Table 3–5 to help you choose configuration values.
Table 3–5 Key Configuration Values for Directory Server Instances
Input Field |
Choosing a Value for Your Solution |
---|---|
Administrator User ID and password |
You assign the ID and password for administrator account for the Directory Server instance. See Developing Your User Management Specifications |
Directory Manager ID and Password |
You assign the password for the Directory Manager account. See Developing Your User Management Specifications |
Server Identifier |
You assign the label that identifies the Directory Server instance in the Administration Server console. The default is the computer's hostname. The default value is usually the best choice. |
Server Port |
The port on which the Directory Server instance accepts connections from other components. Specified in your network connectivity diagram. For more information see Developing a Network Connectivity Specification. |
Suffix |
The value you supply in this field establishes the base suffix, or root DN of the LDAP directory tree. This value is specified in the directory tree specification. See Specifying the Directory Tree Structure for a Solution . |
Administration Domain |
The value you supply is used in the Administration Server console to group the components installed on the computer. The default value is the DNS domain of the computer on which you are installing. |
System User and System Group |
The Directory Server instance will run under this user ID and group. The default values are root and other. |
Store User Data and Group Data on This Server, etc. |
Use these fields to define the function of the Directory Server instance. The default is for the Directory Server instance to serve as the directory for both user and group and configuration data, with the same URL for client connections. If your solution calls for separate directories for user and group data and configuration data, you can use these fields to indicate the function of the instance.

The names used in this table for the configuration values are the names used in the Java ES installer. These are the names you see if you install Directory Server in configure now mode. If you install Directory Server in configure later or silent mode, you may need to use different names for these key configuration values.
