About This Reference Guide
13
When you are familiar with Directory Server schema concepts and have done some
preliminary planning for your directory service, you can install the Directory
Server. The instructions for installing the various Directory Server components are
contained in the Netscape Directory Server Installation Guide.
Preliminary planning includes deciding how to represent the data you store. You
should chose predefined schema elements to meet as many of your needs as
possible. These predefined schema elements are listed in this guide.
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.
•
Throughout this book, you will see path references of the form:
serverRoot
/slapd-
serverID
/...
serverRoot is the installation directory. The default installation directory for
UNIX is
/usr/netscape/servers
. 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.
