ERROR.
Failure installing Red Hat Directory Server.

This error occurs when a machine is not correctly configured to use DNS naming. The default
fully qualified host and domain name presented during installation is not correct. If you accept
the defaults, you receive the LDAP authentication error.
To install successfully, you need to provide a fully qualified domain name that consists of a local
host name along with its domain name. A host name is the logical name assigned to a computer.
For example,
mycomputer
is a host name and
example.com
is a fully qualified domain name
(FQDN).
A fully qualified domain name should be sufficient to determine a unique Internet address for
any host on the Internet. The same naming scheme is also used for some hosts that are not on the
Internet but share the same namespace for electronic mail addressing.
"Failure (4322): Configuration initialization failed" error message on Linux
libjvm.so
(from JRE 1.4), which the Administration Server uses to run servlets, requires that
the
compat-+-6.2
package be installed when running the server on Red Hat Enter-
prise Linux.
The package may or may not be installed depending on the options that were chosen when the
operating system was installed. If the package is not installed, you get an error similar to the one
in Example 7-2.

Forgotten Directory manager DN and password
If you forget the manager DN, you can find out what the Directory
Manager DN is by looking for the
nsslapd-rootdn
attribute in the file
serverRoot /slapd- serverID /config/dse.ldif
.
If you have forgotten the Directory Manager DN password, you can reset it by doing the follow-
ing:
1. Find the
nsslapd-rootpw
attribute in
slapd.conf
. If the attribute value is not en-
crypted in any way (that is, it does not start with
{SHA}
or
{CRYPT}
), then the password is
exactly what is shown on the parameter.
2. If the attribute is encrypted, then delete the attribute value, and replace it with some clear-
text value. For example, if you change the
nsslapd-rootpw
attribute so that it is:
nsslapd-rootpw: my_password
