When you create an instance of Directory Proxy Server, the files and directories required for the instance are created in the path that you specify.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
If you use DSCC to create a new server instance, you can choose to copy some or all of the server configuration settings from an existing server.
Create the instance of Directory Proxy Server.
$ dpadm create -p port instance-path |
For example, to create a new instance in the directory /local/dps, use this command:
$ dpadm create -p 2389 /local/dps |
To specify any other parameter of the instance, see the dpadm(1M) man page.
Type a password if required.
Confirm that the instance has been created by verifying the status of the instance.
$ dpadm info instance-path |
(Optional) If you installed Directory Proxy Server using the Sun JavaTM Enterprise System installer or a native package installation, and your OS provides a service management solution, you can enable the server to be managed as a service, as shown in this table.
Operating System |
Command |
---|---|
Solaris 10 |
dpadm enable-service --type SMF instance-path |
Solaris 9 |
dpadm autostart instance-path |
Linux, HP-UX |
dpadm autostart instance-path |

dpadm enable-service --type WIN_SERVICE instance-path |
(Optional) Register the server instance, using one of these methods:
Access DSCC through the URL https://localhost:6789 and log in to the browser interface.
Use the command dsccreg add-server.
For details, see the dsccreg(1M) man page.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
(Optional) Stop the Directory Proxy Server instance.
$ dpadm stop instance-path |
If you do not stop the instance, the delete command will stop it automatically. However, if you have enabled the instance in a service management solution, you must stop it manually.
(Optional) If you have previously used DSCC to manage the server, use the command line to unregister the server.
$ dsccreg remove-server /local/dps Enter DSCC administrator's password: /local/dps is an instance of DPS Enter password of "cn=Proxy Manager" for /local/dps: Unregistering /local/dps from DSCC on localhost. Connecting to /local/dps Disabling DSCC access to /local/dps |
For details, see the dsccreg(1M) man page.
(Optional) If you previously enabled the server instance in a service management solution, then disable the server from being managed as a service.
