The port numbers you enter need to be in the range 1024 to 65535. Port numbers lesser
than 1024 are normally reserved for the super-user and standard applications. Therefore,
you cannot assume the default port 524 for any eDirectory applications.
This might cause the following applications to break:
The applications that don't have an option to specify the target server port.
The older applications that use NCP, and run as root for 524.
Use the ndsmanage utility to configure a new instance. For more information, refer to the
“Creating an Instance through ndsmanage” on page 63
.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the configuration.
For more information, see
Section 3.6.6, “Using the ndsconfig Utility to Add or Remove the
eDirectory Replica Server,” on page 57
3.6.6 Using the ndsconfig Utility to Add or Remove the
eDirectory Replica Server
You must have Administrator rights to use the ndsconfig utility. When this utility is used with
arguments, it validates all arguments and prompts for the password of the user having Administrator
rights. If the utility is used without arguments, ndsconfig displays a description of the utility and
available options. This utility can also be used to remove the eDirectory Replica Server and change
the current configuration of eDirectory Server. For more information, see
“The ndsconfig Utility” on
page 121
.
Prerequisite for Configuring eDirectory in a Specific Locale
If you want to configure eDirectory in a specific locale, you need to export LC_ALL and LANG to
that particular locale before eDirectory configuration. For example, to configure eDirectory in the
Japanese locale, enter the following:
export LC_ALL=ja
export LANG=ja
Creating A New Tree

ndsconfig new -t
treename
-n

A new tree is installed with the specified tree name and context.
There is a limitation on the number of characters in the
tree_name
,
admin FDN
and
server context
variables. The maximum number of characters allowed for these variables is as follows:
tree_name
: 32 characters
