Chapter 3. Setting up Red Hat Directory Server on Red Hat

Enterprise Linux

Installing and configuring Red Hat Directory Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux has two primary steps:

1. Install the Directory Server packages.

2. Run the setup-ds-admin.pl script. T his 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 5, Migrating from Previous

Versions.

NOTE

Before beginning the installation process, make sure that your system meets the requirements in

Chapter 2, System Requirements and Section 1.2, “Considerations Before Setting Up Directory

Server”.

There are three interactive ways of setting up Directory Server: express, typical, and custom. T hese

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 T able 1.2, “Comparison of Setup T ypes”. For most deployments, the

typical installation type is recommended.

NOTE

There is a fourth setup option called a silent installation. T his 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. T his 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 4.5.1, “Silent Setup for Directory Server and Admin Server”.

This chapter describes the complete procedure to install Red Hat Directory Server on Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 6.2 (64-bit), including both OpenJDK and Directory Server packages, and the different

setup options.

3.1. Installing the Directory Server Packages

There are two main packages to install: the base server package (redhat-ds) and the console

package (redhat-ds-console). After the packages are installed, then the setup script must be run to

create the server instance.
