To Create a Base Suffix for the User Data Instance on Directory Server 2

After creating an instance, you must create a base suffix in which the entries will be stored.

Before You Begin

This procedure assumes you have just completed To Create a User Data Instance for Directory Server 2.

1. As a root user on the DirectoryServer–2 host machine, run dsconf create-suffix to create a base suffix.

   # ./dsconf create-suffix -p 1489 -B dbExample -L /var/opt/mps/am-users/db/exampleDS dc=company,dc=com

2. Provide information when prompted.

   Certificate "CN=DirectoryServer-2, CN=1736, CN=directory Server, O=Sun Microsystems" presented by the server is not trusted. Type "Y" to accept, "y" to accept just one, "n" to refuese, "d" for more details: Y Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: d1rm4n4ger

   ---

   Note –

   When you enter an uppercase Y, you are not asked for the certificate again in the next steps.

   ---

3. Run dsconf list-suffixes to verify that the base suffix was successfully created.

   # ./dsconf list-suffixes -p 1489 Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: d1rm4n4ger dc=company,dc=com

   If the base suffix was successfully created, dc=company, dc=com is returned. You can also see am-users in the list of directory instances as follows:

   # cd /var/opt/mps # ls am-config am-users serverroot

4. Log out of the DirectoryServer–2 host machine.
