Directory Server Configuration

You can perform most Directory Server administrative tasks through Red Hat
Console, the graphical user interface provided with the Directory Server. For
information on the general use of the Red Hat Console, see Managing Servers with
Red Hat Console, and, for details on how to use the Console to manage the
Directory Server in particular, see Red Hat Directory Server Administrator's Guide.
This reference manual deals with the other methods of managing the Directory
Server; namely, altering the server configuration attributes via the command-line
and using the command-line utilities.
Directory Server Configuration
The format and method for storing configuration information for Directory Server
and a listing for all server attributes can be found in chapter 2, "Core Server
Configuration Reference," and chapter 3, "Plug-in Implemented Server
Functionality Reference."

Directory Server Instance File Reference

Having an overview of the files and configuration information stored in each
instance of Directory Server is useful, as this helps administrators understand the
changes or absence of changes in the course of directory activity. From a security
standpoint, such an overview can help customers detect errors and intrusion
since they know what kind of changes to expect and what will be considered
abnormal behavior. See chapter 4, "Server Instance File Reference," for further
information.
