Chapter 4. Setting up Red Hat Directory Server on
network, it is not possible to register it with another directory. Select n to set up this Directory Server as a Configuration Directory Server and move to the next custom install step, setting up the administrator user.
NOTE
To register the Directory Server instance with an existing Configuration Directory Server, select yes. This continues with the registration process rather than the regular custom setup process.
Registering a new instance with a Configuration Directory Server requires you to supply information about the Configuration Directory Server:
•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 ID; 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 the CA certificate in PEM/ASCII format.
This information is supplied in place of creating an admin user and domain for the new Directory Server steps 8, 9, and 10.
8.Set the administrator username. The default is admin.
9.Set the administrator password and confirm it.
10.Set the administration domain. This defaults to the host's domain. For example:
Administration Domain [redhat.com]:
11.Enter the Directory Server port number. The default is 389, but if that port is in use, the setup program supplies a randomly generated one.
