Installation guide

3.1.1. Installing Using yum
The simplest method to install the packages is using the native tools (yum ) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
1. A system has to be registered to Red Hat (or to an on-premise application such as Subscription
Asset Manager) to be able to download content. Additionally, the appropriate subscriptions must
be attached to the system.
This is done using the subscription-manager client tools.
a. Register the system. Use the --auto-attach option to apply subscriptions for the
operating system automatically. T he Red Hat Directory Server subscriptions are children of
the Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions, so if the Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions
are attached and Red Hat Directory Server is included in the account, then Red Hat
Directory Server is covered.
[root@server ~]# subscription-m anager register --auto-attach

b. Enable the Directory Server repository. T his repository is available with the active
subscription, but it is not enabled by default.
This is done using the subscription-manager command. T he repository name is
rhel-server-6-rhds-9-rpm s.
[root@server ~]# subscription-m anager repos --enable rhel-server-6-
rhds-9-rpms
Repo rhel-server-6-rhds-9-rpms is enabled for this system .
2. Run the yum command. T his installs all of the Directory Server packages, Directory Server
Console packages, and dependencies.
[root@server ~]# yum install redhat-ds
