HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 installation guide

3 Setting up HP-UX Directory Server
This chapter describes the complete process for installing Directory Server on HP-UX 11i. It
includes instructions for installing the HP-UX Apache web server and the JRE and Directory
Server packages, and describes the various options for setting up the Directory Server.
3.1 Overview
Installing and configuring HP-UX Directory Server on HP-UX has four major steps:
1. Ensure that you have the required version of HP-UX Apache-based web server installed on
the system.
2. Install the required version of the Java® Runtime Environment (JRE).
3. If the Directory Server will use GSS-API (Generic Security Services Application Program
Interface) for authentication, install the Kerberos 5 client (KRB5CLIENT) libraries.
4. Install the Directory Server package.
5. Run the setup script. In this step, you provide all the information about the new Directory
Server instance. You can run the script interactively, responding to prompts to provide the
setup information, or run the script in silent mode, providing a setup file that provides the
setup information. You can also pass setup parameters in the command line.
CAUTION: If a Directory Server (notably Netscape Directory Server 6.21 or Red Hat Directory
Server 7.1) is already installed on your machine, it is extremely important that you perform a
migration, not a fresh installation. Migration is described in Chapter 6 (page 47).
NOTE:
Before beginning the installation process, make sure that your system meets the requirements
in Chapter 2 (page 11).
3.2 HP-UX Apache-based web server requirement
The Directory Administration Server 8.1 requires Apache plug-ins and dependent libraries.
Before you attempt to install HP-UX Directory Server 8.1, ensure that the HP-UX Apache web
server software B.2.0.50.01 or greater is installed . To verify the HP-UX Apache web server
software version, use the following command:
# swlist -l product | grep hpuxwsAPACHE
hpuxwsAPACHE B.2.0.55.03 HP-UX Apache-based Web Server
The HP-UX Apache-based Web Server is available for download at:
http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot
To locate the software at this site, enter HP-UX Apache-based Web Server in the search
field.
3.3 Installing the JRE
The Java JRE libraries are not bundled with HP-UX Directory Server. You must install them
before installing HP-UX Directory Server. HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 depot is built with
dependency on JRE version 1.5.0.11 or greater. HP-UX Directory Server has been tested with the
JRE revision 1.5.0.11. A JRE15 version which is greater than JRE 1.5.0.11 may also work. Installation
of HP-UX Directory Server using swinstall verifies whether JRE package requirements are
met.
