the Directory Server

General — which supplies information about the server machine; these are global directives that are common to all your Directory Servers.

slapd — which supplies information about the specific Directory Server instance; this information, like the port and server ID, must be unique.

admin — which supplies information specific to the Administration Server instance; this is not used when creating additional Directory Server server instances or setting up a single Directory Server instance.

The format of the .inf file is as follows:

[General]

directive=value

directive=value

directive=value

...

[slapd]

directive=value

...

[admin]
