WARNING
Adding the client machine proxy IP address to the Administration Server creates a
potential security hole.
5.1.2. Configuring Proxy Servers for the Administration Server
If there are proxies for the HTTP connections on the client machine running the Directory Server
Console, the configuration must be changed in one of two ways:
• The proxy settings must be removed from the client machine. Removing proxies on the machine
running Directory Server Console allows the client to access the Administration Server directly. To
remove the proxy settings, edit the proxy configuration of the browser which is used to launch the
help files.
• Add the client machine proxy IP address to Administration Server's list of acceptable IP addresses.
This is described in
Section 5.1.1, “Configuring IP Authorization on the Administration Server”
.
WARNING
Adding the client machine proxy IP address to the Administration Server creates a
potential security hole.
5.1.3. Installing an Administration Server After Installing Directory
Server
A Directory Server instance alone can be installed a machine using
setup-ds.pl
. It is possible
to go back later and install an Administration Server instance using the
register-ds-admin.pl
command. For example:
register-ds-admin.pl
When this script runs, it creates a local Administration Server.
5.2. Working with Directory Server Instances
The setup scripts can be used to create additional instances of Directory Server on the same machine
or on different machines than the first instance. The
setup-ds-admin.pl
script can install both the
Directory Server and Administration Server, while the
setup-ds.pl
script installs only the Directory
Server.
5.2.1. Creating a New Directory Server Instance
Additional instances of the Directory Server can be created from the command line using the
setup-
ds-admin.pl
command. This offers the setup choices (express, typical, and custom) that are
described in
Chapter 3, Setting up Red Hat Directory Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
and
Chapter 4, Setting up Red Hat Directory Server on HP-UX 11i
.
It is also possible to provide Directory Server parameters on the command line, so that the instance is
created with pre-defined defaults. For example:
