Changes in the Administration Framework

Directory Server 6.0 does not include an administration server, as in previous versions. Servers are now registered in the Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) and can be administered remotely by using the web-based GUI or the command-line tools.

To migrate to the new administration framework, you need to do the following:

■Upgrade each server individually

■Register each server in the DSCC

Removal of the ServerRoot Directory

In the new administration model, a Directory Server instance is no longer tied to a ServerRoot. Each Directory Server instance is a standalone directory that can be manipulated in the same manner as an ordinary standalone directory.
