7. The next step allows you to register your Directory Server with an existing Directory Server
instance, called the
Configuration Directory Server
. This registers the new instance so it can be
managed by the Console. If this is the first Directory Server instance set up on your 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

,

, and

.
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]:
