This procedure covers installation of Directory Proxy Server from native packages. You must be root to perform this procedure.
Obtain the Java Enterprise System distribution for this installation, as shown in the following figure.
Complete the worksheet that follows for your installation.
Requisite Information |
Hints |
Your Answers |
---|---|---|
Fully qualified hostname of the system where you install Directory Proxy Server |
Example: dps.example.com | |
(Optional) Cacao common agent container port number to access from Directory Service Control Center |
Default: 11162 | |
File system paths where you create Directory Proxy Server instances |
Example: /local/dps/ Create instances only on local file systems, never on network–mounted file systems such as NFS. Each path is henceforth referred to as an instance-path. | |
LDAP port number |
Default: 389 when installing as root; 1389 for non-root | |
LDAP/SSL port number |
Default: 636 when installing as root; 1636 for root | |
Directory Proxy Manager DN |
Default: cn=Proxy Manager | |
Directory Proxy Manager password |
Must be at least 8 characters long | |
(UNIX platforms) Server user (uid) |
Example: noaccess | |
(UNIX platforms) Server group (gid) |
Example: noaccess | |
(Optional) Connection information for each server to access through the proxy |
Example: ds1.example.com:1389, ds2.example.com:1636 |
Install prerequisite patches or service packs for your platform.
Using the Java Enterprise System distribution, run the Java ES installer as root.
root# ./installer |
Select the Directory Proxy Server component for installation.
Choose to configure the software later, as you will register the software and create server instances after installation.
Complete installation with the Java ES installer.
At this point, you can now create server instances on the system. See Server Instance Creation for details.
(Optional) Enable the Common Agent Container, cacao, to restart when the operating system reboots.
root# cacaoadm enable |
If you decide not to enable the common agent container, you would not be able to use DSCC to communicate with the servers handled by that instance of cacao.
After installing the software, see Environment Variables.
