1The command to restart the Directory Server on platforms other than Red Hat Enterprise Linux is described in Section 3, “Starting and Stopping Servers”.

2The LDAP tools referenced in this guide are Mozilla LDAP, installed with Directory Server in the

/usr/lib/mozldap directory on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 i386; directories for other platforms are listed in Section 2, “LDAP Tool Locations”. However, Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems also include LDAP tools from OpenLDAP. It is possible to use the OpenLDAP commands as shown in the examples, but you must use the -xargument to disable SASL and allow simple authentication.
