Conventions Used in This Book
This section explains the conventions used in this book.
Monospaced font — This typeface is used for any text that appears on the
computer screen or text that you should type. It is also used for filenames, functions,
and examples.
Notes and Cautions text boxes.
The greater than symbol (>) is used as a separator for successive menu selections. For
example, Object > New > User means that you should pull down the Object menu,
drag the mouse down to highlight New, and drag the mouse across to the New
submenu in which you must select User.
Throughout this book you will see path references of the form:
serverRoot
/slapd-serverID/...
serverRoot
is the installation directory. The default installation directory for UNIX is
/usr/redhat/servers. On Windows, it is c:\redhat\servers. If you have
installed Directory Server in a different location, you should adapt the path
accordingly.
serverID is the ID or identifier you assigned to an instance of Directory Server when
you installed it. For example, if you gave the server an identifier of
phonebook, then
the actual path would look like this:
/usr/redhat/servers/slapd-phonebook/. . .
All paths specified in this manual are in UNIX format. If you are using a
Windows-based Directory Server, you should assume the equivalent file paths
whenever UNIX file paths are shown in this book.
In examples/sample code, paths assume that the Directory Server is installed in the
default location
/usr/redhat/servers. If you have installed your Directory Server
in a different location, adapt the paths accordingly.
