Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 Installation Guide

ProcedureTo Install Only Directory Server Resource Kit From the Zip Distribution

This procedure covers installation of the software required to use Directory Server Resource Kit tools.

Non-root users can install this component from the zip distribution.

Before You Begin

Obtain the zip distribution for this installation.

The zip distribution allows non-root users to install
the software.

Complete the worksheet that follows for your installation.

Requisite Information 

Hints 

Your answers 

File system path where you install developer tools 

This path is henceforth referred to as install-path.

 

(Optional) URL to Application Server or Web Server administration interface used to deploy the NameFinder application 

Examples: http://localhost:4848, http://localhost:8888

 

(Optional) Hostname and port number for the LDAP directory or directories queried by the NameFinder application 

Example: ds.example.com:389

 

(Optional) Base DN of suffix queried by the NameFinder application 

Example: dc=example,dc=com

 

  1. Install prerequisite patches or service packs for your platform.

    See Operating System Requirements in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 Release Notes for details.

  2. Change to the zip distribution directory containing the dsee_deploy command.

  3. Install the software with the dsee_deploy(1M) command.


    $ ./dsee_deploy install -c DSRK -i install-path options
    

    For example, the following command installs the component under /local, assuming you have access to create a file system directory there.


    $ ./dsee_deploy install -c DSRK -i /local
    

    You can also use the --no-inter option to install in non-interactive mode, accepting the license without confirmation. Non-interactive mode is particularly useful for silent installation.

  4. (Optional) Load sample data in your directory.

    Examples that use the command line tools depend on sample data residing under the dc=example,dc=com suffix of your directory.

    You can set up part of the data that are required by creating a dc=example,dc=com suffix. You can then populating the suffix with entries from the ldif/Example.ldif file.

    Read the Example.ldif file to find bind passwords needed in the examples.

    After you load the Example.ldif content into the directory, generate test data for examples with the makeldif(1) command and the following template:

    define suffix=dc=example,dc=com
    define maildomain=example.com
    
    branch: ou=test,[suffix]
    subordinateTemplate: person:100
    
    template: person
    rdnAttr: uid
    objectclass: top
    objectclass: person
    objectclass: organizationalPerson
    objectclass: inetOrgPerson
    givenName: <first>
    sn: <last>
    cn: {givenName} {sn}
    initials: {givenName:1}{sn:1}
    employeeNumber: <sequential>
    uid: test{employeeNumber}
    mail: {uid}@[maildomain]
    userPassword: auth{employeeNumber}{employeeNumber}
    telephoneNumber: <random>
    description: This is the description for {cn}.

    First, copy the template content to template.ldif. Next, use commands such as the following to generate the data in test.ldif, and to load the content into the directory.

    The following commands generate a test.ldif file and add its content to the directory, as long as the directory already contains the sample entries from Example.ldif.


    $ cd install-path/dsrk6/bin/example_files/
    $ makeldif -t test.template -o test.ldif
    Processing complete.
    101 total entries written.
    $ ldapmodify -a -D uid=hmiller,dc=example,dc=com -w - -f test.ldif
    Enter bind password:
    …

    If you read Example.ldif, you see that the password for hmiller is hillock.
