5 General usage information
This chapter contains common information that you will use after installing HP-UX Directory
Server 8.1, such as where files are installed; how to start and stop the Directory Server and
Administration Server; how to start the Directory Server Console; obtaining the Administration
Server port number; resetting the Directory Manager password; and basic troubleshooting
information. For more detailed information about using Directory Server, see the HP-UX Directory
Server administrator guide.
5.1 Directory Server file locations
HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 conforms to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standards. For more information
on FHS, see the FHS web site:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
Table 5-1lists the full path name for the files and directories installed with Directory Server. In
the file locations listed in the tables, “instance” is the server instance name that was given
during setup. By default, this is the leftmost component of the fully-qualified host and domain
name. For example, if the host name is ldap.example.com, the instance name is ldap by
default. As shown where applicable, the Administration Server directories are in similar locations
as the Directory Server directories. The Administration Server directories are named admin-serv.

You can use these tools to access and perform operations on Directory Server user data as well
as configuration and status data.
