LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.00 Administrator's Guide
You cannot create an actual Directory Server entry that uses the same distinguished name
(DN) as the Directory Manager DN. For more information about the Directory Manager and
other administrators, see Section 2.3.4 (page 38).
4. The script asks whether you want to manage the new directory server in an existing HP-UX
Directory Server administration domain (Admin domain) or whether you want to create a
new directory server administration domain. To direct the installation to set up the new
directory server in an existing administration domain, specify the host name and optionally
the port number of the Administration Server that manages the existing domain, such as
east.acme.com:389. To create a new directory server administration domain on the local
host, press Return. In the following example, the user opts to create a new domain. (For
more information about this and other domains in the LDAP-UX environment, see
Section 2.3.3 (page 36).)
HP-UX Directory Server supports management of multiple directory server
instances under one administration domain. Would you like to manage this
directory server in an existing HP-UX Directory Server administration domain?
If so, enter the host name and optionally the port of the directory server
that manages that topology (for example, acme.bus.com:389). Or, to create
a new directory server administration domain, simply press Return.
(hostname[:port]|Return): Return
5. Enter the short name of the Configuration Administrator required to manage the directory
servers and the new directory server administration domain. The default short name is
admin. In this example, the user takes the default.
A Configuration Administrator is required to manage the
directory servers and the administration domain. This user has
configuration and administration privileges on all directory servers
in the administration domain, but is subject to access control
(unlike the Directory Manager). Please Enter the short name of the
Configuration Administrator (typically "admin") [admin]: Return
The Configuration Administrator (also known as the Directory Administrator) is the “super
user” who has configuration and administration privileges for all directory servers in the
managed domain, and so has the power to modify directory server configurations and to
create, start, and back up any of the directory servers in the managed domain. The
Configuration Administrator has fewer access privileges to the directory server than does
the Directory Manager.
6. Create a password for the new Configuration Administrator and re-enter it to confirm:
Please enter the password for the Configuration Administrator.
Please enter the "admin" password: [password not displayed] Return
Please re-enter the "admin" password: [password not displayed] Return
7. Specify the name of the LDAP-UX domain that is to be created; this is the domain that
distinguishes data managed by the new directory server from data managed by other director
servers in other domains. The default is the host's DNS domain name. In this example, the
default is taken.
Please enter the domain name that can be used to distinguish data managed on
this directory server from data managed by other directory servers in other
domains. This will be used to define the suffix of the directory tree.
Please enter the domain [west.acme.com]: Return
8. Specify the name of the LDAP-UX Domain Administrator. The LDAP-UX Domain
Administrator is responsible for managing all data in the LDAP-UX domain and can create
a new administration domain (created in an earlier step) and register all directory servers
in that domain. The default is domadmin.
