Before Using the Internal Operations Example

Before using the example plug-in internal.c, create a new suffix, dc=example,dc=com, and populate the suffix with example data.

To Set Up an Example Suffix

If you have not done so already, set up a directory instance with a suffix, dc=example,dc=com, containing data loaded from a sample LDIF file, install-path/resources/ldif/Example.ldif.

1. Create a new Directory Server instance.

   For example:

   $ dsadm create -h localhost -p 1389 /local/ds
   Choose the Directory Manager password:
   Confirm the Directory Manager password:
   $ 

2. Start the new Directory Server instance.

   For example:

   $ dsadm start /local/ds
   Server started: pid=4705
   $ 

3. Create a suffix called dc=example,dc=com.

   For example, with long lines folded for the printed page:

   $ dsconf create-suffix -h localhost -p 1389 dc=example,dc=com
   Enter "cn=directory manager" password: 
   Certificate "CN=defaultCert, CN=hostname:1636" presented by the
    server is not trusted.
   Type "Y" to accept, "y" to accept just once,
    "n" to refuse, "d" for more details: Y
   $ 

4. Load the sample LDIF.

   For example, with long lines folded for the printed page:

   $ dsconf import -h localhost -p 1389 \
    install-path/resources/ldif/Example.ldif dc=example,dc=com
   Enter "cn=directory manager" password:  
   New data will override existing data of the suffix
    "dc=example,dc=com".
   Initialization will have to be performed on replicated suffixes. 
   Do you want to continue [y/n] ? y
