Installation guide

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 Runtim e 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, SUNWj5dm o, SUNWj5jm p, SUNWj5m an,

and SUNWj5rt.

The contents of the 64-bit file, jdk-1_5_0_09-solaris-sparcv9.tar.Z, are SUNWj5dm x,

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.

After installing the JRE, install the Directory Server packages, as described in Section 5.2, “Installing the

Directory Server Packages”.

5.2. Installing the Directory Server Packages

There are two ways to install the Directory Server packages. T he packages can be downloaded

individually through Red Hat Network, or an ISO image can be downloaded and saved to a CD or DVD.

Section 5.2.1, “Installing Individual Packages”

Section 5.2.2, “Installing from an ISO Image”

5.2.1. Installing Individual Packages

The Directory Server software is packaged in Solaris PKG format and incorporates the Solaris pkgadd

command. T he latest Directory Server for Solaris packages are available through the Red Hat

Directory Server 8.0 Solaris channel.

To install the Directory Server on Solaris, do the following:

1. Create a temporary installation directory for the downloaded packages, then open that directory.

mkdir /tm p/rhds80

cd /tmp/rhds80

2. Download the Directory Server packages from Red Hat Network. This can be done through a web
