CREATE SERVER Command
This command creates a configuration entry for a directory server. Only a user who has the
ROLE.SECMGR role (for example, SECURITYMGR) may enter this command.
Syntax
[.SEC] CREATE [LDAP|ADDC|ADGC] SERVER domainName UsagePri, HOST [hostname][,attributes]
Parameters
See “Attributes of Directory Server Configurations” (page 78) for attribute definitions.
The following considerations apply specifically to the CREATE SERVER command:
• LDAP|ADDC|ADGC specifies whether the server is an openLDAP implementation (LDAP),
an Active Directory Domain Controller (ADDC), or an Active Directory Global Catalog
(ADGC). If you specify a value, it will be displayed as the ServerType in the INFO server
command and the HPDM Directory Servers display. If not, it will be omitted from those
displays. NCI does not verify other configuration values to determine whether they are
appropriate to the server type.
• domainName, UsagePri, and HOST are required.
• attributes is a comma-separated list of attributes to be included in the LDAP server
configuration. Each attribute is expressed as a keyword followed by one or more blanks
and, optionally, a value. If you need to include a comma or a trailing blank within an attribute
value, enclose the attribute value in double quotation marks. An attribute embedded within
a text field is permissible.
Valid attributes for this command are Port, Version, SearchUserDN, SearchUserPwd,
ConfigText, Encryption, and CAcert. These attributes can be specified in any order.
If you supply an attribute name with no corresponding attribute value, the command prompts
for a value and, except in the case of a password, echoes the text you supply.
NOTE: When a command prompts you for a string, even if that string contains special
characters, you do not need to enclose the string in double quotes. For example, the following
input is valid for a SearchUserDN:
create server NEOVIEWDIRECTORYSERVER 73, SEARCHUSERDN , host "ldaplinux1.caclab.cac.cpqcorp.net", CONFIGTEXT
"c:\configtxt.txt";
SEARCHUSERDN [Default value]: uid=searcher,OU="Functional Users"
If you omit an attribute, the LDAP daemon will use the value define for that attribute in the
default configuration. This substitution occurs at runtime, so changes in the default
configuration record will affect all server configurations that depend on default values.
The command fails and an error is returned if
• You are not logged on in the role ROLE.SECMGR.
• You omit domainName, UsagePri, or HOST.
• A configuration entry with the supplied domainName and UsagePri already exists.
• The command line is syntactically incorrect.
• An attribute is value is invalid.
If the command completes successfully, the following message is displayed:
Server configuration created.
