2 Basic Console tasks

While most server management functions are carried out in server-specific console windows for the HP-UX Directory Server and Administration Server, the main Console itself has some basic management functions, such as creating server instances, searching the directory, setting some access controls, and allowing some entry modifications.

This chapter covers basic tasks in the Console, including installing the Console, creating and editing server instances, and configuring the Console appearance.

2.1Launching the Console

1.Run the hpds-idm-consolecommand. For example: hpds-idm-console -a http://server.example.com:9830

The different options for the hpds-idm-consolecommand are listed in Table 2-1 “Arguments for hpds-idm-console”.

2.Enter the user name and password.

Also, enter or select the URL for the instance of Administration Server, if one was not passed with the command. The URL can be either the host name or the IP address of the Administration Server host. The Administration Server port number must be given, as well. The five most recent Administration Server URLs accessed are available as a drop-down menu option.
