administrators, see Section 1.4 (page 23).
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 Enter. 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 1.3
(page 22).)
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): Enter
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]: Enter
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 reenter it to confirm:
Please enter the password for the Configuration Administrator.
Please enter the "admin" password: [password not displayed] Enter
Please re-enter the "admin" password: [password not displayed] Enter
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]: Enter
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 a previous step) and register all directory servers in that
domain. The default is domadmin.
An LDAP-UX domain administrator is used to manage all data within
