Install View Connection Server with a New Configuration
To install View Connection Server as a single server or as the first instance in a group of replicated View
Connection Server instances, you use the standard installation option.
When you select the standard installation option, the installation creates a new, local View LDAP configuration.
The installation loads the schema definitions, Directory Information Tree (DIT) definition, and ACLs and
initializes the data.
After installation, you manage most View LDAP configuration data by using View Administrator. View
Connection Server automatically maintains some View LDAP entries.
