2.2.2.2.3. DNS Requirements

It is very important that DNS and reverse DNS be working correctly on the host machine, especially if you

are using TLS/SSL or Kerberos with Directory Server.

Configure the DNS resolver and the NIS domain name by the modifying the /etc/resolv.conf,

/etc/nsswitch.conf, and /etc/netconfig files, and set the DNS resolver for name resolution.

Edit the /etc/defaultdom ain file to include the NIS domain name. T his ensures that the fully-

qualified host and domain names used for the Directory Server resolve to a valid IP address and that

that IP address resolves back to the correct hostname.

Reboot the Red Hat Enterprise Linux machine to apply these changes.

2.2.3. HP-UX 11i

Directory Server runs on HP-UX version 11i only; earlier HP-UX versions are not supported. Directory

Server runs on a 64-bit HP-UX 11i environment as a 64-bit process.

Table 2.4, “HP-UX 11i” lists the hardware requirements. Section 2.2.3.1, “HP-UX Patches” lists the

required patches, and the recommended system configurations are in Section 2.2.3.2, “HP-UX System

Configuration”.
