Chapter 1 Installing Solaris Extensions for Netscape Directory Server 4.11
The Solaris Extensions Installation Guide explains how to install the Solaris Extensions for Netscape Directory Server 4.11. It assumes that you are already familiar with installing software products on machines running the Solaris operating environment.
The Solaris Extensions for Netscape Directory Server 4.11 product contains the following packages:|
The product also includes an automatic startup script, S72ns-slapd, that automatically starts the directory server when the host machine is rebooted. This script is delivered separately from the product packages.
This section provides details of the hardware and software requirements that must be met in order to run the Solaris Extensions for Netscape Directory Server 4.11 with satisfactory performance.|
Note that you must allow space in the /var directory for log files. By default, you can have up to 10 log files of 1Mb for the RADIUS server and for the NIS daemons, which means that the size of the log files can reach 20 Mb.
|Installing Solaris Extensions|
Type in the numbers corresponding to the packages that you want to install.
If you want to use the NIS synchronization service, and the RADIUS server, install all packages. If you want to use the NIS synchronization service alone, install SUNWdsnis and SUNWdsutl. If you want to use the RADIUS server alone, install SUNWdsrad and SUNWdsutl.
If you want the directory server daemon, ns-slapd, to be automatically restarted whenever the machine is rebooted, copy the S72ns-slapd script from the /DS/Samples directory on the CD to the /etc/rc2.d directory. For consistency with all other scripts, you can create a link from /etc/rc2.d to /etc/init.d/ns-slapd.
If you have not installed the Directory Server under the default installation directory (/usr/netscape/server4), you must edit the S72ns-slapd script to modify the BASEDIR variable to point to the actual installation directory.
|Starting the NIS Synchronization Service|
For instructions on initializing the NIS synchronization service, refer to the NIS Extension Guide. It contains detailed instructions on how to initialize synchronized NIS/LDAP service using the dsypinstall script, and describes the modifications made to the standard NIS environment.|
|Starting the RADIUS Server|
|For instructions on initializing the RADIUS server, refer to the RADIUS Extension Guide. It contains detailed instructions on how to initialize the RADIUS server using the setup_rad script, and how to start the RADIUS console.|
