NOTE
To register the Directory Server instance with an existing Configuration Directory Server,
select yes. This continues with the registration process rather than the regular typical
setup process.
Registering a new instance with a Configuration Directory Server requires you to supply
information about the Configuration Directory Server:
The Configuration Directory Server URL, such as
ldap://ldap.exam ple.com :389/o=NetscapeRoot
To use T LS/SSL, set the protocol as ldaps:// instead of ldap:// For LDAPS, use
the secure port (636) instead of the standard port (389), and provide a CA certificate.
The Configuration Directory Server administrator's user ID; by default, this is adm in.
The administrator user's password.
The Configuration Directory Server Admin domain, such as example.com .
The CA certificate to authenticate to the Configuration Directory Server. This is only
required if the Directory Server instance will connect to the Configuration Directory
Server over LDAPS. This should be the full path and filename the CA certificate in
PEM/ASCII format.
This information is supplied in place of creating an admin user and domain for the new
Directory Server, steps 8, 9, and 10.
