1 Introduction to HP-UX Directory Server

Identity management and directory services with HP-UX Directory Server use three components, working in tandem:

•A Java-based management console

•An administration server which also functions as a web server

•An LDAP directory server

Figure 1-1 Interactions between the Console, Admin Server, and Directory Server

The Admin Server processes configuration requests for Directory Server instances and performs many common server tasks, such as stopping and starting server instances. Directory services are usually divided into two categories:

•Configuration databases, which store the Console and Admin Server settings and some Directory Server configuration.

•User databases, which contain user and group information.
