22 Installation and Migration Guide
Installing Netscape Directory Server
If you are planning to use users and groups (for example, for access control)
with your iPlanet Web Server, you need to install Netscape Directory Server or
another LDAP server before installing the iPlanet Web Server.
For information on installing Directory Server, see the Directory Server
documentation. If you are installing from the CD, the Directory Server
Installation Guide is included in the box. The documentation is also available
online at the following URL:
http://www.iplanet.com/docs
Note (Windows
NT)
You can install Netscape Directory Server and iPlanet Web Server on the same
Windows NT machine if you do the following:
• If during installation you are asked which version of libraries to install,
always select those which have the most recent release dates.
• If you need to uninstall either product, you must first make a copy of the
uninstall program (uninst.exe) since it will be removed during the
uninstall process. Also, you must uninstall iPlanet Web Server before you
uninstall Directory Server.
Note Because the copy of Directory Server that is bundled with iPlanet Web Server
contains a limited license, any support contract you purchase for iPlanet Web
Server is limited in Directory Server coverage to usage allowed by the license.
Installing Netscape Console
When you install the Directory Server, you also install Netscape Console. Use
Netscape Console to manage your Directory Server. You can also access the
iPlanet Web Server from Netscape Console if you run a script after you install
the iPlanet Web Server. For more information, see “Accessing iPlanet Web
Server from the Console” on page 56.
If you are not planning to use Directory Server, you do not need to install
Netscape Console.
