service based on the industry-standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP). Sun ONE Directory Server software is part of the Sun Open Net
Environment (Sun ONE), Sun’s standards-based software vision, architecture,
platform, and expertise for building and deploying Services On Demand.

environment often involves considerable configuration and tuning.
If you are installing Directory Server for evaluation purposes only and not for use
in a production environment, you may choose to read only Chapter 1, “Installing
