To Create a User Data Instance on Directory Server 1

Use this procedure to create a Directory Server instance named idp-users for storing user data. The instance uses port 1489 for LDAP and port 1736 for LDAPS.

Before You Begin

This procedure assumes you have just completed To Install Directory Server 1 and are still logged into the ds1.idp-example.com host machine as a root user.

1. Change to the bin directory.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin

2. Run dsadm create to create a user data instance called idp-users.

   # ./dsadm create -p 1489 -P 1736 /var/opt/mps/idp-users Choose the Directory Manager password: dsmanager Confirm the Directory Manager password: dsmanager use 'dsadm start /var/opt/mps/idp-users' to start the instance

3. Run dsadm start to start the instance.

   # ./dsadm start /var/opt/mps/idp-users Server started: pid=5810

4. Run netstat to verify that the new instance is up and running on both ports.

   # netstat -an | grep 1736 .1736 *.* 0 0 65536 0 LISTEN .1736 *.* 0 0 65536 0 LISTEN # netstat -an | grep 1489 .1489 *.* 0 0 65536 0 LISTEN .1489 *.* 0 0 65536 0 LISTEN

5. Run ldapsearch to verify that you can read the root Directory Server entry of the new instance.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/dsrk6/bin # ./ldapsearch -h ds1.idp-example.com -p 1489 -b "" -s base "(objectclass=*)" version: 1 dn: objectClass: top ... supportedLDAPVersion: 3 vendorname: Sun Microsystems, Inc. vendorVersion: Sun-Java(tm)-System-Directory/6.3 ...
