WARNING
Adding the client machine proxy IP address to the Administration Server creates a
potential security hole.

6.1.2. Configuring Proxy Servers for the Administration Server

If there are proxies for the HTTP connections on the client machine running the Directory Server
Console, the configuration must be changed in one of two ways:
• The proxy settings must be removed from the client machine. Removing proxies on the machine

remove the proxy settings, edit the proxy configuration of the browser which is used to launch the
help files.
• Add the client machine proxy IP address to Administration Server's list of acceptable IP addresses.

It is also possible to provide Directory Server parameters on the command line, so that the instance is
created with pre-defined defaults. For example:
setup-ds-admin.pl slapd.ServerPort=1100 slapd.RootDNPwd=itsasecret
When the installer runs, the Directory Server port default is 1100, and the Directory Manager
password is itsasecret.
This script can also be run in silent mode, which means the setup program never opens; the Directory
Server instance values are taken from a specified file. For example:
setup-ds-admin.pl -s -f file.inf
-s runs the script in silent mode, and -f file.inf specifies the setup file to use. Silent instance
