4 Post-installation and advanced configuration tasks

This chapter describes configuration tasks to perform after you have installed Directory Server including additional configuration steps for Administration Server and Directory Server instances and how to set up additional Directory Server and Administration Server instances. It also describes how to uninstall the Directory Server.

4.1 Configuring Administration Server instances

This section describes two additional setup steps for the Administration Server that enable access by remote clients. This allows users to install and launch the Directory Server Console while being able to access the remote Directory Server file, including help files.

NOTE:

Changing IP authorizations as described in the sections that follow may lock you out of the Console or Administration Server. To revert the address changes that locked you out, you may have to edit the Administration Server configuration directly through LDAP. For information on editing the Administration Server configuration, see the following web site:

4.1.1 Configuring IP authorization on the Administration Server

The Directory Server Console can be launched from remote machines to access an instance of Directory Server. The client running the Directory Server Console needs access to the Administration Server to access support files such as the help content and documentation.

Follow these steps to configure the Administration Server to accept the client IP address:

1.From the same machine on which the Administration Server is running, launch the Console.

# /opt/dirsrv/bin/hpds-idm-console

2.In the Administration Server Console, click the Configuration tab, then click the Network tab.

3.In the Connection Restrictions Settings section, select IP Addresses to Allow from the pull down menu.

4.Click Edit.

5.In the IP Addresses field, enter the following:

*.*.*.*
