HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 deployment guide

For a comprehensive overview of creating and implementing a directory pilot, see Understanding
and Deploying LDAP Directory Services (T. Howes, M. Smith, G. Good, Macmillan Technical
Publishing, 1999).
After creating and tuning a successful test Directory Server instance, develop a plan to move the
directory service to production, covering the following considerations:
• An estimate of the required resources
• A schedule of what needs to be accomplished and when
• A set of criteria for measuring the success of the deployment
See the HP-UX Directory Server installation guide for information on installing the directory service
and the HP-UX Directory Server administrator guide for information on administering and
maintaining the directory.
1.5 Other general directory resources
The following publications have very detailed and useful information about directories, LDAP,
and LDIF:
• RFC 2849: The LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) Technical Specification, http://
www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2849.txt
• RFC 2251: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3), http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2251.txt
• Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services. T. Howes, M. Smith, G. Good, Macmillan
Technical Publishing, 1999.
All the HP-UX Directory Server documentation, available at http://docs.hp.com/en/internet.html,
also contain high-level concepts about using LDAP and managing directory services, as well as
Directory Server-specific information.
