HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 console guide

Figure 1-7 The Directory Server Console
There are four tabs in the Directory Server Console:
Tasks
This tab provides shortcuts to common server operations, including starting
and stopping the Directory Server instance, importing and exporting
databases, and managing SSL certificates
Configuration
This tab defines all the server configuration settings, including SASL and
SSL authentication, port numbers, schema, replication and synchronization,
databases and suffixes, logging, and plug-ins
Directory
This tab accesses and manages the directory information, including user
entries and all group entries, including roles, classes of service, views, and
groups
Status
This tab monitors the server performance and displays the different
monitoring and performance counters for the Directory Server and
databases
Similar to the main Console, the Directory Server Console tabs have a navigation area on the left
and a center panel that displays information about the active setting, entry, or database.
The procedures for using the Directory Server Console to manage the Directory Server
configuration and directory entries is covered in the HP-UX Directory Server administrator guide.
1.4.2 The Administration Server console
The Administration Server itself administers the configuration of other servers, especially the
configuration and user directories for the server group. The Administration Server Console
manages the Administration Server settings and the settings for these two Directory Server
directories; whenever the settings are changed in the Directory Server configuration, the
modifications must be carried into the Administration Server configuration for the server to
properly manage those servers.
