Installation guide

IMPORTANT

When the new JDK is installed for Directory Server 9.1, it is no longer possible to manage older

instances of Directory Server using the Directory Server Console because the required JDKs for

the different Directory Server versions are different. You must migrate any older instance to

Directory Server 9.1 if you need to manage that instance with the Directory Server Console.

To install OpenJDK:

[root@server ~]# yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk

OpenJDK is also available from http://openjdk.java.net/install/.

After installing the JDK, run /usr/sbin/alternatives as root to insure that the proper JDK is

available:

[root@server ~]# /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java

There are 3 programs which provide 'java'.

Selection Command

2.1.2. Fonts

A font package must be installed before the Directory Server Console can be launched. Any font

package is acceptable.

2.1.3. Software Conflicts

Directory Server cannot be installed on any system that has a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Identity

Management server installed. (T he Identity Management server is also called an IPA server.)

Likewise, no Red Hat Enterprise Linux Identity Management server can be installed on a system with a

Directory Server instance.
