HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 installation guide

4 Post-installation and advanced configuration tasks
This chapter describes configuration tasks to perform after you have installed Directory Server
including additional configuration steps for Administration Server and Directory Server instances
and how to set up additional Directory Server and Administration Server instances. It also
describes how to uninstall the Directory Server.
4.1 Configuring Administration Server instances
This section describes two additional setup steps for the Administration Server that enable access
by remote clients. This allows users to install and launch the Directory Server Console while
being able to access the remote Directory Server file, including help files.
NOTE:
Changing IP authorizations as described in the sections that follow may lock you out of the
Console or Administration Server. To revert the address changes that locked you out, you may
have to edit the Administration Server configuration directly through LDAP. For information
on editing the Administration Server configuration, see the following web site:

4.1.1 Configuring IP authorization on the Administration Server
The Directory Server Console can be launched from remote machines to access an instance of
Directory Server. The client running the Directory Server Console needs access to the
Administration Server to access support files such as the help content and documentation.
Follow these steps to configure the Administration Server to accept the client IP address:
1. From the same machine on which the Administration Server is running, launch the Console.
# /opt/dirsrv/bin/hpds-idm-console
2. In the Administration Server Console, click the Configuration tab, then click the Network
tab.
3. In the Connection Restrictions Settings section, select IP Addresses to Allow from the
pull down menu.
4. Click Edit.
5. In the IP Addresses field, enter the following:
*.*.*.*
