Sun ONE Meta-Directory 5.1.1 Installation Guide

Chapter 2
Installing on Solaris Systems

This chapter describes how to install Meta-Directory on a server using the Sun SolarisTM 8 Operating System (SPARCŪ Platform Edition) and Sun SolarisTM 9 Operating System (SPARCŪ Platform Edition). It also contains information on installing the system patches that are required prior to the installation process.

This chapter includes these sections:

Installing Recommended Patches

If installing Meta-Directory on a server running Solaris 8 or Solaris 9, you must install the Recommended Patch Clusters and Localized JRE patches for Java™ 2 Standard Edition (J2SE™) 1.4.1 or higher. Also, ensure that libCrun.so.1 and libCstd.so.1 C++ run-time libraries are installed.

Recommended Patch Cluster for Solaris 8 or Solaris 9

Consult the latest patch report at http://www.sunsolve.sun.com.

    Verifying Patch installation

Enter the showrev -p command after installing the patch; it displays a complete list of installed patches. Compare this list with the patch list in the documentation to verify that the appropriate patches are installed.

Performing the Installation

Note

It is recommended that the Directory Server documentation is available for reference during this installation process. It can be found at http://docs.sun.com/db/prod/2121#hic.

    To install Meta-Directory on Solaris-based systems
  1. Log onto the system as the Superuser (root).
  2. Download the Meta-Directory for Solaris binary.

    3. Binary is a file compressed with gzip (visit http://www.gzip.org to download this compression utility.)

  3. Decompress the binary file using this command:

    4. # gzip -dc filename.tar.gz | tar xvf -

  4. Execute the ./setup.sh command to run the setup program.
  5. It displays a message suggesting that both Directory Server and Meta-Directory cannot be installed in the same directory tree. Press Return to continue.
  6. Type y to accept the license agreement, and press Return.
  7. Select the default Sun ONE Servers installation, and then press Return to continue.

    8. Note

    Use the Sun ONE Console option to install the Sun ONE Console again.

  8. Enter the complete path (server root) to install Meta-Directory.

    9. The directory location must be different from the one in which you are running the setup program; it cannot be installed in the same directory where it was decompressed.

    Note

    The setup program creates the installation directory, if it does not exist. However, you may have to verify the write access permission after the installation.

  9. Press Return to install all of Sun ONE Server product components.

    10. For a list and description of the components, see Chapter 1, "Preparing for Installation."

  10. Press Return to install the Server Core Components, Core Java classes, and Java Runtime Environment.
  11. Press Return to install Sun ONE Administration Server and Administration Server Console.
  12. Press Return to install nsPerl 5.8.2.
  13. Press Return to install Meta-Directory Console.
  14. Press Return to install Meta-Directory Join Engine.
  15. Press Return to install Meta-Directory Universal connector.
  16. Press Return to install Meta-Directory Database connector.
  17. Enter the fully-qualified domain name of the system on which Meta-Directory is being installed, and then press Return.
  18. Enter the user and group that should represent the Sun ONE server in the user directory.

    19. Ideally, this user should not have permissions in the computer network system. The Administration Server grants this group the permissions to perform server-specific operations.

  19. Enter the URL of the Directory Server that contains the Configuration Directory and the non-secure port address (default port address is 389.) Click Next to continue.

    20. This function requires the use of the Sun ONE Directory Server. Ensure that the Directory Server is currently running to verify the information.

  20. Enter the domain name (for example, sunone.com) to specify the administration domain in the Configuration Directory. Click Next to continue.
  21. Enter the user ID or distinguished name (DN) and password of the configuration administrator to access the Configuration Directory. Click Next to continue, the domain name specified in step 20 and the configuration administrator specified here is verified.

    22. The configuration administrator creates and manages information stored in the Configuration Directory. Make sure the user entry exists and is valid.

  22. Choose an administration port number and click Next to continue.

    23. By default, the setup program chooses an administration port number. If you use the default port number, ensure that it is currently not being used. Be sure to note the port number.
