Conventions Used In This Guide
This section explains the conventions used in this book.
Monospaced font—This typeface is used for any text that appears on the computer
screen or text that you should type. It is also used for filenames, functions, and
examples.
The greater than symbol (>) is used as a separator for successive menu selections.
For example, Object > New > User means that you should pull down the Object
menu, drag the mouse down to highlight New, and drag the mouse across to the
New submenu in which you must select User.
Throughout this book you will see path references of the form:
serverRoot/slapd-serverID/...
serverRoot
is the installation directory. On UNIX, /usr/netscape/servers is
the default installation directory. On Windows,
c:\netscape\servers is the
default installation directory. If you have installed Directory Server in a
different location, you should adapt the path accordingly.
serverID is the ID or identifier you assigned to an instance of Directory Server
when you installed it. For example, if you gave the server an identifier of
phonebook, then the actual path would look like this:
/usr/netscape/servers/slapd-phonebook/. . .
