For example, to set the machine name, suffix, and Directory Server port of the new instance, the

command is as follows:

setup-ds-adm in.pl General.FullMachineName=ldap.example.com

slapd.Suffix=dc=example, dc=com” slapd.ServerPort=389

NOTE

Passing arguments in the command line or specifying an .inf sets the defaults used in the

interactive prompt unless they are used with the s (silent) option. With the s option, these values

are accepted as the real settings.

Argument values containing spaces or other shell special characters must quoted to prevent the shell

from interpreting them. In the previous example, the suffix value has a space character, so the entire

parameter has to be quoted. If many of the parameters have to be quoted or escaped, use an .inf file

instead.

An .inf file can be used in conjunction with command line parameters. Parameters set in the command

line override those specified in an .inf file, which is useful for creating an .inf file to use to set up

many Directory Servers. Many of the parameters can be the same, such as ConfigDirectoryLdapURL,

ones specific to the host, such as FullMachineName have to be unique. For example:

setup-ds-adm in.pl -s -f common.inf General.FullMachineName=ldap37.example.com

slapd.ServerIdentifier=ldap37

This command uses the common parameters specified in the com m on.inf file, but overrides

FullMachineName and ServerIdentifier with the command line arguments.

NOTE

The section names and parameter names used in the .inf files and on the command line are

case sensitive. Refer to T able 1.1, “setup-ds-admin Options” to check the correct capitalization.

The .inf file has an additional option, ConfigFile which imports the contents of any LDIF file into the

Directory Server. T his is an extremely useful tool for preconfiguring users, replication, and other

directory management entries. For more information on using the ConfigFile parameter to configure

the Directory Server, see Section 4.5.4, “Using the ConfigFile Parameter to Configure the Directory

Server”.

Each prompt in the installer has a default answer in square brackets, such as the following:

Would you like to continue with setup? [yes]:

Pressing Enter accepts the default answer and proceeds to the next dialog screen. Yes/No prompts

accept y for Yes and n for No.
