Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Administrator's Guide

NOTE

The service name for the Administration Server process on Red Hat Enterprise

Linux is dirsrv-admin.

On Solaris, the service is init.d:

/etc/init.d/dirsrv-admin {start|stop|restart}

4. Starting the Directory Server Console

There is a simple script to launch the Directory Server Console. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux

and Solaris, run the following:

/usr/bin/redhat-idm-console

HP-UX has a different location for the script:

/opt/dirsrv/bin/redhat-idm-console

NOTE

Make sure that the correct JRE — the program called java — is set in the PATH

before launching the Console. Run the following to see if the Java program is in

the PATH and to get the version and vendor information:

java -version

When the login screen opens, you are prompted for the username, password, and

Administration Server location. It is possible to send the Administration Server URL and port

with the start script. For example:

/usr/bin/redhat-idm-console -a http://localhost:9830

The a option is a convenience, particularly if you are logging into a Directory Server for the first

time. On subsequent logins, the URL is saved. If you do not pass the Administration Server port

number with the redhat-idm-console command, then you are prompted for it at the Console
