Using Typical Installation
28 Netscape Directory Server Installation Guide • December 2003
23. For Configuration Directory Administrator ID and password, enter the name
and password that you will log in as when you want to authenticate to the
console with full privileges.
24. For a directory suffix, enter a distinguished name (DN) meaningful to your
enterprise.
This string is used to form the name of all your organization’s directory entries.
Therefore, pick a name that is representative of your organization. It is
recommended that you pick a suffix that corresponds to your internet DNS
name. Avoid space characters in the suffix.
For example, if your organization uses the DNS name
example.com, then
enter
dc=example,dc=com here.
25. For Directory Manager DN, enter the DN that you will use when managing the
contents of your directory with unlimited privileges.
In former releases of Directory Server, the Directory Manager was known as
the root DN. This is the entry that you bind to the directory as when you
want access control to be ignored. This DN can be short and does not have
to conform to any suffix configured for your directory. However, it should
not correspond to an actual entry stored in your directory.
26. For the Directory Manager password, enter a value that is at least 8 characters
long.
27. For Administration Domain, enter the domain that you want this server to
belong to.
The name you enter should be a unique string that is descriptive of the
organization responsible for administering the domain. For information on
administration domains, see “Determining the Administration Domain,” on
page 18.
28. For the administration port number, enter a value that is not in use. Be sure to
record this value.
NOTE
Any DN must be entered in the UTF-8 character set encoding. Older
encodings such as ISO-8859-1 are not supported.
