dsktune
7. Select the installation mode (express installation).
8. For the hostname, either enter a fully qualified hostname or select the default (which is the local
host).
Caution
The default hostname may be incorrect if the installer cannot locate a DNS name in your
system. For example, you might not have a DNS name if your system uses NIS.
The hostname must be a fully qualified host and domain name. If the default
hostname is not a fully qualified host and domain name, installation will fail. Refer to
Section 7.2 Common Installation Problems for more information about entering a fully
qualified domain name.
9. The setup program then asks you for the System User and the System Group names.
Enter the identity under which you want the servers to run.
For more information on the user and group names that you should use when running your
servers, refer to Section 1.2.3 Deciding the User and Group for Your Servers.
10. For the configuration directory administrator ID and password, enter the name and password as
whom you will log in when you want to authenticate to the Console with full privileges.
11. For the Directory Manager DN, enter the DN that you will use when managing the contents of
your directory with unlimited privileges.
Note
Any DN must be entered in the UTF-8 character set encoding. Older encodings such as ISO-
8859-1 are not supported.
In former releases of Directory Server, the Directory Manager was known as the root DN. This
is the entry that you use to bind to the directory when you want access control to be ignored.
This DN can be short and does not have to conform to any suffix configured for your directory.
However, it should not correspond to an actual entry stored in your directory.
For the Directory Manager password, enter a value that is at least 8 characters long.
