Installation guide

[root@server ~]# /usr/sbin/setup-ds-adm in.pl -s -f /export/ds-inf/setup-
single.inf
Running setup-ds-adm in.pl installs only a Directory Server instance, so the setup file must
specify parameters only for the Directory Server. -s runs the script in silent mode, and -f
/export/ds-inf/setup.inf specifies the setup file to use.
After the script runs, the new Directory Server instance is configured and running, as with a standard
setup.
4.5.3. Sending Parameters in the Command Line
The setup utility, setup-ds-adm in.pl, allows settings for all three configuration components —
General (host server), slapd (LDAP server), and adm in (Admin Server) — to be passed directly in
the command line. Command-line arguments correspond to the parameters and values set in the .inf
file. T he arguments used with setup-ds-adm in.pl specify the .inf setup file section (General,
slapd, or admin), parameter, and value in the following form:
section.param eter=value
For example, to set the machine name, suffix, and Directory Server port of the new instance, the
command is as follows:
/usr/sbin/setup-ds-admin.pl General.FullMachineNam e=ldap.example.com
“slapd.Suffix=dc=example,dc=com” slapd.ServerPort=389
NOTE
Passing arguments in the command line or specifying an .inf sets the defaults used in the
interactive prompt unless they are used with the s (silent) option.
Argument values containing spaces or other shell special characters must quoted to prevent the shell
from interpreting them. In the previous example, the suffix value has a space character, so the entire
parameter has to be quoted. If many of the parameters have to be quoted or escaped, use an .inf file
instead.
You can use an .inf file in conjunction with command line parameters. Parameters set in the command
line override those specified in an .inf file, which is useful for creating an .inf file to use to set up
many Directory Servers. Many of the parameters can be the same, such as ConfigDirectoryLdapURL,
ones specific to the host, such as FullMachineName have to be unique. For example:
setup-ds-adm in.pl -s -f common.inf General.FullMachineName=ldap37.example.com
slapd.ServerIdentifier=ldap37
This command uses the common parameters specified in the com m on.inf file, but overrides
FullMachineName and ServerIdentifier with the command line arguments.
