2. Install or update the RPMs. For example:
yum update -y
This automatically updates the Red Hat Directory Server packages and all required packages.
Red Hat Directory Server 8.1 requires that all of the packages in the Red Hat Directory Server
channel be updated. Running simply yum update updates all Red Hat Directory Server and Red
Hat Enterprise Linux packages. To exclude packages from updating on your system, you can
use --exclude packages, restrict the update to only the Red Hat Directory Server channel, or
explicitly list the packages to update. Run man yum for a list of options.
3. Re-run the setup script with the -u option.
setup-ds-admin.pl -u
This updates the settings automatically, without having to migrate or re-configure the server.
4. Restart the Directory Server.
service dirsrv restart
5. Verify that the packages have been properly updated by checking the version number on one of
the Directory Server packages. For example:
rpm -qf /usr/sbin/setup-ds-admin.pl
redhat-ds-admin-8.1.0-9.el5dsrv
Also restart the Directory Server Console to make sure that the version and build numbers are
appropriately updated.
6. The Distributed Numeric Assignment and MemberOf Plug-ins are new with Directory Server 8.1.
Their configuration is not automatically added to the dse.ldif file with the in-place upgrade, so
you need to add these entries to the file.
• The MemberOf Plug-in template entry is in /usr/share/dirsrv/data/template-
dse.ldif.
• The DNA Plug-in template entry is in /usr/share/dirsrv/data/template-
dnaplugin.ldif.
These entries can be added using ldapmodify or by editing the dse.ldif file directly. For
example:
/usr/lib/mozldap/ldapmodify -a -D "cn=directory manager" -w secret -p
389 -h server.example.com
