Conventions Used in This Book
This section explains the conventions used in this book.
Monospaced font
—This typeface is used for any text that appears on the computer
screen or text that you should type. It is also used for filenames, functions, and
examples.
The greater than symbol (>) is used as a separator for successive menu selections.
For example, Object > New > User means that you should pull down the Object
menu, drag the mouse down to highlight New, and drag the mouse across to the
New submenu in which you must select User.
Throughout this book you will see path references of the form:
serverRoot
/slapd-
serverID
/...
serverRoot is the installation directory. For Directory Server 5.x and 6.x,
/usr/netscape/servers
is the default installation directory on UNIX. On
Windows, it is
c:\usr\netscape\servers
. If you have installed Directory
Server in a different location, you should adapt the path accordingly.
serverID is the ID or identifier you assigned to an instance of Directory Server
when you installed it. For example, if you gave the server an identifier of
phonebook
, then the actual path would look like this:
/usr/netscape/servers/slapd-phonebook/. . .
All paths specified in this manual are in UNIX format. If you are using a
Windows-based Directory Server, you should assume the equivalent file paths
whenever UNIX file paths are shown in this book.
In examples/sample code, paths assume that the Directory Server is installed in the
default location
/usr/netscape/servers
. If you have installed your Directory
Server in a different location, adapt the paths accordingly. Also, all examples use
phonebook
for the server identifier where appropriate.
NOTE Notes and Cautions mark important information. Make sure you
read the information before continuing with a task.
