Starting the Directory Services

If you chose Execute (with reboot) at the end of the installation process, the directory services should be up and running when the host system is finished rebooting. If you need to start the services by hand (for example, if you chose no reboot and performed other tasks before rebooting), start the services daemon and any of the tool processes you want to use. To start:

1. Log in as root.

2. Change the directory to /etc/init.d.

3. Start the directory services (and the RADIUS server, if you have it configured), by entering the following command:

   # ./dsserv start

4. (Optional) If you want to start the Sun Directory Services Web gateway server, enter the following command:

   # ./dsweb start

5. (Optional) If you want to start the Sun Directory Services administration server, enter the following command:

   # ./dsadm start

For information on why you should choose to start the gateway or administration servers, see the Sun Directory Services 3.1 Administration Guide and the Sun Directory Services 3.1 User's Guide.
