3.4.4. Restarting a Subsystem after a Machine Restart
If a computer running a subsystem is shut down unexpectedly, more services than just the subsystem
must be restarted, in the proper order, for the subsystem to be available both through the HTML
services page and the administrative console.
1. Restart the Directory Server Administration Server.
cd /opt/redhat-ds/
./start-admin
2. Restart the Directory Server.
cd /opt/redhat-ds/slapd- instance_ID
./start-slapd
3. Restart the Certificate System subsystem instance.
/etc/init.d/ instance_ID start
3.5. Mail Server
The notifications and jobs features use the mail server set in the Certificate System CA instances to
send notification messages. Set up a mail server by doing the following:
1. Open the CA subsystem administrative console. For example:
pkiconsole https://host.example.com:9443/ca
2. In the
Configuration
tab, highlight the instance name at the top, and select the
SMTP
tab.
3. Supply the server name and port number of the mail server.
The server name is the fully qualified DNS hostname of the machine on which the mail server
is installed, such as
mail.example.com
. By default, the hostname of the mail server is
localhost
instead of the actual hostname.
The default port number on which the SMTP mail server listens is
25
.

3.6. Configuration Files
The runtime properties of a Certificate System subsystem are governed by a set of configuration
parameters. These parameters are stored in a file that is read by the server during startup.
