Configuring the Internal Database
The Directory Server instance used for the internal database is different from the
LDAP-compliant directory that you use to manage your corporatewide data (users
and groups, their certificates, CRLs, and so on).
•
In Netscape Console, you can distinguish an internal database instance from
other Directory Server instances. It is in this form:
<cms_instance_id>-db
<cms_instance_id>
You first specified this when you installed this server.
•
If you check the files installed under
instance appears like this:
Keep in mind that the subsystems use the database for storing different objects. A
Certificate Manager stores all the data, certificate issuance requests, certificates,
CRLs, and related information; a Registration Manager only stores the certificate
issuance requests it receives; and a Data Recovery Manager only stores key records
and related data.
Configuring the Internal Database
Each instance of Certificate Management System uses a Netscape Directory Server
instance as its internal database. All the subsystems that were installed in a CMS
instance use the same Directory Server instance to store their data. For example, if
you installed a Certificate Manager and Data Recovery Manager together, they use
the same internal database for data storage.
CAUTION
Step 1. Identify the Directory Server Instance
To identify the Directory Server instance that a CMS instance should use as its
internal database:
Log in to the CMS window (see "Logging In to the CMS Window" on

is the ID of the CMS instance that is using the database.
slapd-<cms_instance_id>-db
The internal database schema is preconfigured for storing CMS data
only. Do not make any changes to it or configure Certificate
Management System to use any other LDAP directory. Doing so can
result in loss of data. Also, do not attempt to use this database for
any other purpose.
