Setting up Red Hat Directory Server on
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Installing and configuring Red Hat Directory Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux has three major
steps:
1. Install OpenJDK 1.6.0.
2. Install the Directory Server packages.
3. Run the
setup-ds-admin.pl
script. This is where all of the information about the new Directory
Server instance is supplied.
WARNING
If Directory Server is already installed on your machine, it is extremely important that you
perform a migration, not a fresh installation. Migration is described in
Chapter 6, Migrating
from Previous Versions
.
NOTE
Before beginning the installation process, make sure that your system meets the
requirements in
Section 2.3, “Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5”
.
NOTE
Red Hat Directory Server is also supported running on a virtual guest on a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 virtual server.
There are three interactive ways of setting up Directory Server: express, typical, and custom.
These setup types provide different levels of control over the configuration settings, such as port
numbers, directory suffixes, and users and groups for the Directory Server processes. Express
has the least amount of input, meaning it uses more default or randomly-generated settings, while
custom allows the most control over the configuration by having the user supply a lot of configuration
information. These setup types are described more in
Table 1.2, “Comparison of Setup Types”
. For
most deployments, the typical installation type is recommended.
NOTE
There is a fourth setup option called a
silent installation
. This provides two ways of
performing the setup without user interaction, either by passing arguments in the
command-line with the
setup-ds-admin.pl
script or to use a file with settings already
defined. This is extremely useful for doing large numbers of Directory Server instances,
since it does not require any user involvement after the packages are installed. Silent
installations are explained more in
Section 5.5.1, “Silent Setup for Directory Server and
Administration Server”
.
