3.This step allows you to register your Directory Server with an existing Directory Server instance that serves as the Configuration Directory Server. This registers your new instance so it can be managed by the Console. If you are setting up the first Directory Server instance on your network, you cannot register it with another directory; you must set up your Directory Server as the Configuration Directory Server. To set up this Directory Server as a Configuration Directory Server, select n. The next express installation step is setting up the administrator user.

To register the Directory Server instance with an existing Configuration Directory Server, select yes. This initiates the registration process in which you must supply the following information about the Configuration Directory Server. This information is supplied in place of setting up the administrator user for the new Directory Server (steps 4 and 5).

•The Configuration Directory Server URL, such as ldap://ldap.example.com:389/o=NetscapeRoot

To use TLS/SSL, set the protocol as ldaps:// instead of ldap://

For LDAPS, use the secure port (636) instead of the standard port (389), and provide a CA certificate.

•The Configuration Directory Server administrator's user DN; by default, this is admin.

•The administrator user's password.•The Configuration Directory Server Admin domain, such as example.com.

•The CA certificate to authenticate to the Configuration Directory Server. This is only required if the Directory Server instance will connect to the Configuration Directory Server over LDAPS. This should be the full path and filename of the CA certificate in PEM/ASCII format.

4.If you registered your Directory Server with an existing Configuration Directory Server, skip to step 6. Otherwise, continue with this step.

Set the administrator user name. The default is admin.5.Set the administrator password and confirm it.

6.Set the Directory Manager user name (DN). The default is cn=Directory Manager.

7.Set the Directory Manager password and confirm it.

8.The last prompt asks if you are ready to set up your servers. Answer yes, after which messages such as the following are displayed. If you are not ready, answer no to return to the preceding prompt; use Ctrl-B(followed by pressing Enter) to continue to preceding prompts.
