The
setup-ds-admin.pl
script applies all default options for the Directory Server configuration,
including the instance name (for example,
ldap.example.com
), domain (for example,
example.com
), suffix (for example,
dc=example, dc=com
), and port numbers (

for the
Directory Server instance and
9830
for the Administration Server).
When the
setup-ds-admin.pl
script is done, then the Directory Server is configured and running.
To log into the Directory Server Console to begin setting up your directory service, do the following:
1. Get the Administration Server port number from the
Listen
parameter in the
console.conf
configuration file.
grep \^Listen /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf
Listen 0.0.0.0:
9830
2. Using the Administration Server port number, launch the Console.
/opt/dirsrv/bin/redhat-idm-console -a http://localhost:9830
NOTE
If you do not pass the Administration Server port number with the
redhat-idm-console
command, then you are prompted for it at the Console login screen.
