Installation guide

NOTE
When creating a single instance of Directory Server, the Directory Server packages must already
be installed, and the Administration Server must already be configured and running.
1. Make the setup .inf file. It must specify the following directives:
[General]
FullMachineName= dir.example.com
SuiteSpotUserID= nobody
SuiteSpotGroup= nobody
[slapd]
ServerPort= 389
ServerIdentifier= dir
Suffix= dc=example,dc=com
RootDN= cn=Directory Manager
RootDNPwd= password123
SlapdConfigForMC= Yes
UseExistingMC= 0
AddSampleEntries= No
NOTE
There are two sections of directives in the instance creation: [General] and [slapd].
Installing the Administration Server, which is done in a default setup file, requires a third
parameter as well, [admin], for the Administration Server.
This parameters correspond to the information supplied during a typical setup. The .inf file
directives are described more in Section 6.3.5.1, “.inf File Directives”.
2. Run the setup-ds-admin.pl script with the -s and -f options.
/usr/sbin/setup-ds-admin.pl -s -f /export/ds-inf/setup-single.inf
Running setup-ds-adm in.pl installs only a Directory Server instance, so the setup file must
specify parameters only for the Directory Server. -s runs the script in silent mode, and -f
/export/ds-inf/setup.inf specifies the setup file to use.
After the script runs, the new Directory Server instance is configured and running, as with a standard
setup.
6.3.3. Sending Parameters in the Command Line
The setup utility, setup-ds-admin.pl, allows settings for all three configuration components —
General (host server), slapd (LDAP server), and adm in (Administration Server) — to be passed
directly in the command line. Command-line arguments correspond to the parameters and values set in
the .inf file. The arguments used with setup-ds-adm in.pl specify the .inf setup file section
(General, slapd, or admin), parameter, and value in the following form:
section.param eter=value
