Configuring the Sun Java System Directory Server

Sun Java System Directory Server versions 5.1 and 5.2 include the following main components:

• Directory Server

• Administration Server

• Directory Server console

The Directory Server console enables you to perform most administrative tasks. The console contains four top-level tabs: Tasks, Configuration, Directory, and Status. The Directory tab displays the directory entries as a tree. You can browse, display, and edit all of the entries and attributes from this tab.

You can also perform administrative tasks manually by editing configuration files or by using command-line utilities.

Sun Java System Directory Server version 6.x provides the following ways for you to manage the entries in a directory:

• Directory Service Control Center (DSCC)

• Directory Editor

• ldapmodify and ldapdelete command-line utilities

DSCC is integrated into the Sun Java^TM Web Console. DSCC contains five top-level tabs: Common Tasks, Directory Servers, Proxy Servers, Server Groups, and Settings.

If you click the Directory Servers tab, the name of a server, and the Entry Management tab, then you reach the page that enables you to browse, add, and modify entries. The Directory Information Tree (DIT) appears on the left.

You can also use the Common Tasks tab to create a new entry or browse data.

For detailed information about how to perform the following steps, see the documentation provided with Sun Java System Directory Server.
