a component of the Apache server; the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server does not allow the Apache server to run with the user ID root. The System User name in the setup-ds.pl script dialog is not affected by this restriction. The setup-ds.pl script configures the user ID for the Directory Server but not for the Administration Server. However, HP recommends that you do not run the Directory Server with the user ID root. • Selecting the Configuration tab results in Java exception errors.
• The Administration Console Help button does not function properly Clicking Help in the Administration Console fails and the console displays the error interpreter "/usr/dt/bin/dtksh" not found. The Administration Console uses the Firefox web browser (or the Mozilla web browser, if Firefox is not available from the user's search path) to display help text. When Firefox and Mozilla web browsers start the first time, they attempt to display licensing text in a graphical window.
Workaround: After you migrate the Directory Server to version 8.1, use the ldapmodify utility to edit the cn=config directory entry. Set the nsslapd-saslpath attribute value to match the value used in the previous version. Alternatively, you can shut down the version 8.1 Directory Server instance and edit the nssldapd-saslpath attribute value in the dse.ldif file.
