Installation guide

3.1. Installing OpenJDK

Necessary Java libraries are not bundled with Directory Server. T hey must be downloaded and

extracted separately before installing the Directory Server packages.

Directory Server 8.2 requires Sun JDK 1.6.0 or OpenJDK 1.6.0.

IMPORTANT

When the new JDK is installed for Directory Server 8.2, it is no longer possible to manage older

instances of Directory Server using the Directory Server Console because the required JDKs for

the different Directory Server versions are different. You must migrate any older instance to

Directory Server 8.2 if you need to manage that instance with the Directory Server Console.

To install OpenJDK:

yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk

OpenJDK is also available from http://openjdk.java.net/install/.

After installing the JDK, run /usr/sbin/alternatives as root to insure that the proper JDK is

available:

/usr/sbin/alternatives --config java

There are 3 programs which provide 'java'.

Selection Command

-----------------------------------------------

1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java

2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java

*+ 3 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun.x86_64/bin/java

After installing the JDK, install the Directory Server packages, as described in Section 3.2, “Installing the

Directory Server Packages”.

3.2. Installing the Directory Server Packages

1. Install the Directory Server packages. There are two options for installing the packages: using

native Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (64-bit) tools (yum) or downloading them from Red Hat Network.

The recommended way is to use the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (64-bit) tools.

yum install redhat-ds

NOTE

yum may install or require additional packages if dependencies are missing or out-of-date.

Alternatively, download the latest packages from the Red Hat Directory Server 8.2
