This script allows parameters to be passed with it or to specify configuration files to use. The
options are described more in
2. Select y to accept the Red Hat licensing terms.
3. The dsktune utility runs. Select y to continue with the setup.
dsktune checks the available disk space, processor type, physical memory, and other system
data and settings such as TCP/IP ports and file descriptor settings. If your system does not meet
these basic Red Hat Directory Server requirements, dsktune returns a warning. dsktune
warnings do not block the setup process; simply enter y to go to the next step.
4. Next, choose the setup type. Accept the default, option 2, to perform a typical setup.
5. Set the computer name of the machine on which the Directory Server is being configured. This
defaults to the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) for the host. For example:
Computer name [ldap.example.com]:
NOTE
The Directory Server requires the fully-qualified domain name to set up the servers,
as described in
setup script uses the system's gethostname() function to obtain the hostname
(such as ldap) and the /etc/resolv.conf file to identify the domain name (such
as example.com).
Therefore, if there are aliases in the /etc/hosts file that do not match the specified
domains in the /etc/resolv.conf settings, the setup script cannot correctly
generate the fully-qualified domain name as it is used by DNS, and the default options
in the prompts are wrong.
The hostname is very important. It is used generate the Directory Server instance name, the
admin domain, and the base suffix, among others. If you are using SSL/TLS or Kerberos, the
computer name must be the exact name that clients use to connect to the system. If you will use
DNS, make sure the name resolves to a valid IP address and that IP address resolves back to this
name.
6. Set the user and group as which the Directory Server process will run. The default is
daemon:daemon. For example:
System User [daemon]:
System Group [daemon]:
7. The next step allows you to register your Directory Server with an existing Directory Server
instance, called the Configuration Directory Server. This registers the new instance so it can be
managed by the Console. If this is the first Directory Server instance set up on your network,
it is not possible to register it with another directory. Select n to set up this Directory Server
