Installation guide

Necessary Java JRE libraries are not bundled with Directory Server. They must be downloaded

and extracted separately before installing the Directory Server packages.

NOTE

Directory Server 8.0 requires JRE version 1.5.0.

Install the latest version of the 64-bit Sun J2SE Java Runtime Environment 5.0 (Update 9),

available from the Sun download site, http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.

IMPORTANT

Solaris requires installing the 32-bit version of the JRE as well as installing the

64-bit version. The 32-bit version is used for the applet and Java Web Start

support. Read http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/README.html,

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/ReleaseNotes.html, and

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/jre/install-solaris-64.html before installing the

Directory Server.

1. Under the section Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 9, Sun only makes this

JRE available through a self-extracting file which is incompatible with Directory Server since

this format does not use the native Solaris packaging utility database.

2. It is possible to obtain the Sun 5.0 JRE in a compatible format. Click Download under the

JDK 5.0 Update 9 section, and, under Solaris SPARC Platform - J2SETM Development

Kit 5.0 Update 9, select Solaris SPARC 32-bit packages - tar.Z

(jdk-1_5_0_09-solaris-sparc.tar.Z) and Solaris SPARC 64-bit packages - tar.Z (use

32-bit version for applet and Java Web Start support)

(jdk-1_5_0_09-solaris-sparcv9.tar.Z).

3. After downloading these two files, uncompress them using the gunzip utility, and extract the

contents using the tar utility.

4. The contents of the 32-bit file, jdk-1_5_0_09-solaris-sparc.tar.Z, are COPYRIGHT,

LICENSE, README.html, SUNWj5cfg, SUNWj5dev, SUNWj5dmo, SUNWj5jmp, SUNWj5man, and

SUNWj5rt.

The contents of the 64-bit file, jdk-1_5_0_09-solaris-sparcv9.tar.Z, are SUNWj5dmx,

SUNWj5dvx, and SUNWj5rtx.

5. Since only the JRE is needed on Solaris 9 systems, use the pkgadd utility to add the 32-bit

package, SUNWj5rt, first, and then add the 64-bit package, SUNWj5rtx.
