6.3.5. About .inf File Parameters
With a silent setup, all of the configuration information that is normally supplied interactively with the
setup program must be included in the
.inf
file or passed in the command line with the
setup-ds-
admin.pl
command.
NOTE
Providing configuration parameters with the
setup-ds-admin.pl
command is
described in
Section 1.3, “About the setup-ds-admin.pl Script”
.
The
.inf
file has three sections:
•
General
— which supplies information about the server machine; these are global directives that are
common to all your Directory Servers.
•
slapd
— which supplies information about the specific Directory Server instance; this information,
like the port and server ID, must be unique.
•
admin
— which supplies information specific to the Administration Server instance; this is not used
when creating additional Directory Server server instances or setting up a single Directory Server
instance.
The format of the
.inf
file is as follows:
[General]
directive=value
directive=value
directive=value
...
[slapd]
directive=value
directive=value
directive=value
...
[admin]
directive=value
directive=value
directive=value
The
.inf
file directives are explained more in the following sections.
