To Install a Proxy Using the vdp-setup CLI

Using vdp-setup at the command line defines the proxy port, hostname, and security configuration.

Note - To complete your deployment and define load balancing or distribution, use dsconfig, as described in Chapter 7, Simple Proxy Deployments Using the Command Line Interface, in Sun OpenDS Standard Edition 2.2 Deployment Planning Guide.

You can also use a common properties file to provide default values for options. For more information, see Using a Properties File With Server Commands in Sun OpenDS Standard Edition 2.2 Command-Line Usage Guide.

1. Type setup with the --cli option to launch the install in interactive mode.

   (Unix, Linux) $ vdp-setup --cli -p 1389 --adminConnectorPort 4444 -D"cn=Directory Manager" -w password 

   In the example above, -p is the proxy LDAP port that is used to send data between the client and the proxy, --adminConnectorPort is the proxy administration port, -D is the bind DN, and -w is the proxy LDAP bind password.

   Launch vdp-setup –cli for a full description of the command-line.

   • If you want, you can type the complete command, to avoid using the interactive mode.

     (Unix, Linux) $ vdp-setup --cli -p 1389 --adminConnectorPort 4444 -D"cn=Directory Manager" -w password 

2. Type Yes and press Enter to accept the license agreement.
3. Type the root user DN, or press Enter or Return to accept the default (cn=Directory Manager).
4. Provide a password for the root user and re-enter the password to confirm it.
5. Type the LDAP port number for your directory server, or press Enter or Return to accept the default.

   If you run the installer as the root user, the default port is 389. If you run the installer as a non-root user, the default port is 1389.

6. To complete your deployment, you will need to create the workflow elements, workflows, network group and so on.

   The list of components to install will depend on your deployment architecture. For examples based on the supported use cases, see Chapter 7, Simple Proxy Deployments Using the Command Line Interface, in Sun OpenDS Standard Edition 2.2 Deployment Planning Guide.
