Installation guide

If there are proxies for the HT T P connections on the client machine running the Directory Server
Console, the configuration must be changed in one of two ways:
The proxy settings must be removed from the client machine. Removing proxies on the machine
running Directory Server Console allows the client to access the Administration Server directly. T o
remove the proxy settings, edit the proxy configuration of the browser which is used to launch the
help files.
Add the client machine proxy IP address to Administration Server's list of acceptable IP addresses.
This is described in Section 6.1.1, “Configuring IP Authorization on the Administration Server”.
WARNING
Adding the client machine proxy IP address to the Administration Server creates a potential
security hole.
6.2. Working with Directory Server Instances
6.2.1. Creating a New Directory Server Instance
Additional instances of the Directory Server can be created from the command line using the setup-ds-
adm in.pl command. This offers the setup choices (express, typical, and custom) that are described in
Chapter 3, Setting up Red Hat Directory Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Chapter 4, Setting up Red
Hat Directory Server on HP-UX 11i, and Chapter 5, Setting up Red Hat Directory Server on Sun Solaris.
It is also possible to provide Directory Server parameters on the command line, so that the instance is
created with pre-defined defaults. For example:
setup-ds-admin.pl slapd.ServerPort=1100 slapd.RootDNPwd=itsasecret
When the installer runs, the Directory Server port default is 1100, and the Directory Manager password
is itsasecret.
This script can also be run in silent mode, which means the setup program never opens; the Directory
Server instance values are taken from a specified file. For example:
setup-ds-admin.pl -s -f file.inf
-s runs the script in silent mode, and -f file.inf specifies the setup file to use. Silent instance
setup and .inf files are described in Section 6.3, “Silent Setup”.
NOTE
New Directory Server instances can be created through the Directory Server Console; this is
described in the Directory Server Administrator's Guide.
6.2.2. (Alternate) Installing Directory Server with setup-ds
There is also a command called setup-ds.pl. T his command creates an instance of Directory Server
that is not managed by the Directory Server Console. It works exactly the same way as setup-ds-
adm in.pl except that the questions about the Configuration Directory Server and Administration
