7. The next step allows you to register your Directory Server with an existing Directory Server
instance, called the Configuration Directory Server. T his registers the new instance so it can be
managed by the Console. If this is the first Directory Server instance set up on your network, it is
not possible to register it with another directory. Select n to set up this Directory Server as a
Configuration Directory Server and move to the next custom install step, setting up the
administrator user.
NOTE
To register the Directory Server instance with an existing Configuration Directory Server,
select yes. This continues with the registration process rather than the regular custom
setup process.
Registering a new instance with a Configuration Directory Server requires you to supply
information about the Configuration Directory Server:
The Configuration Directory Server URL, such as
ldap://ldap.exam ple.com :389/o=NetscapeRoot
To use T LS/SSL, set the protocol as ldaps:// instead of ldap:// For LDAPS, use
the secure port (636) instead of the standard port (389), and provide a CA certificate.
The Configuration Directory Server administrator's user ID; by default, this is adm in.
The administrator user's password.
The Configuration Directory Server Admin domain, such as exam ple.com .
The CA certificate to authenticate to the Configuration Directory Server. T his is only
required if the Directory Server instance will connect to the Configuration Directory
Server over LDAPS. T his should be the full path and filename the CA certificate in
PEM/ASCII format.
This information is supplied in place of creating an admin user and domain for the new
Directory Server steps 8, 9, and 10.
8. Set the administrator username. The default is adm in.
9. Set the administrator password and confirm it.
10. Set the administration domain. This defaults to the host's domain. For example:
Administration Domain [example.com]:
11. Enter the Directory Server port number. The default is 389, but if that port is in use, the setup
program supplies a randomly generated one.
Directory server network port [389]: 1066
12. Enter the Directory Server identifier; this defaults to the hostname.
Directory server identifier [exam ple]:
The server identifier must not contain a period (.) or space character.
13. Enter the directory suffix. This defaults to dc=domain name. For example:
Suffix [dc=exam ple,dc=com]:
