5 General usage information

This chapter contains common information that you will use after installing HP-UX Directory Server 8.1, such as where files are installed; how to start and stop the Directory Server and Administration Server; how to start the Directory Server Console; obtaining the Administration Server port number; resetting the Directory Manager password; and basic troubleshooting information. For more detailed information about using Directory Server, see the HP-UX Directory Server administrator guide.

5.1 Directory Server file locations

HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 conforms to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standards. For more information on FHS, see the FHS web site:

http://www.pathname.com/fhs/

Table 5-1lists the full path name for the files and directories installed with Directory Server. In the file locations listed in the tables, “instance” is the server instance name that was given during setup. By default, this is the leftmost component of the fully-qualified host and domain name. For example, if the host name is ldap.example.com, the instance name is ldap by default. As shown where applicable, the Administration Server directories are in similar locations as the Directory Server directories. The Administration Server directories are named admin-serv.
