and a number of informational messages, and finally
startup: server started successfully

This will set the user and group that the Netscape DS server runs as
User=www
Group=other
Directory Server network port=389
Directory Server identifier=[your hostname]
Administrator id=admin
Password=<whatever you want – write it down….>
Suffix= the dns domain part of your FQDN, for example
FQDN is rkm-nt.alf.cpqcorp.net, then Suffix would be
[dc=alf, dc=cpqcorp, dc=net]
Directory Manager DN= Directory Manager
Password=<whatever you want, but MUST be at least 8 characters>
Administration Domain = the dns domain part of your FQDN
Administration Port = <random number between 1024 and 65535>
(write this down, as it will be the port you will use to connect
to the server to administer the Netscape DS via the gui!)
Admin server will be run as: root
After you are done, it will automatically start up the admin console daemon to listen on the
port you chose.
A Note on Startconsole versus Netscape Console 6.1
NOTE: this installation will mention to use startconsole to manage your servers. This is
SLOW. I would recommend installing the pc version of the Netscape Console 6.1 instead.
Much faster, and an invaluable tool to look at your database and schema during this
installation and testing process to make sure that the ldap database contains what you
expect at various stages.
You can download this from:

you have to download the whole thing, but then when you install, you can choose to JUST
install the console, NOT the pc server.
