Step 7: Select the Installation DirectoryDS4 must be installed in an NTFS partition. On many Windows NT systems, drive C is formatted as FAT. If your system is like this, you'll have to override the default installation location and specify an NTFS drive on your system. Step 8: Review products selectionThis screen should show 3 of 4 possible installation choices selected. Leave the 4th choice unselected. Step 9: Specify the configuration directoryDS4, like most Netscape servers, stores critical configuration data in a local directory server. Since in this class we're installing everything on one system for demo purposes, we'll use the new directory server that we're installing for configuration data. So accept the default selection, This instance will be the configuration directory server. Step 10: Specify the location for user and group dataAccept the default selection, Store data in this directory server. Step 11: Specify the server identifier and port numberBy default, the server identifier will be set to your machine name and the server port number will be set to 389. Accept both of these defaults. Step 12: Specify the administrative login and passwordThis screen is used to specify the login and password for the Administrative server. This is the login and password you'll use to access Netscape Console. Accept the default login, admin, and enter the password admin. You'll need to enter the password twice. Step 13: Specify the Administrative DomainThe administrative domain refers to the population of servers controlled by this instance of Netscape Console. By default, this selection will be set to the domain of the system you're using. Step 14: Specify Directory Manager's DNThe Directory Manager's DN (distinguished name) is used to uniquely identify the person who will be given complete administrative control over this instance of the Directory Server. Accept the default DN, cn=Directory Manger. (cn stands for c"common name"). Enter the password dirmanager in both password fields. Step 15: Specify the administrative port numberOverride the default and enter 4000. Step 16: Review the configuration summaryThis screen should confirm the installation choices made in the preceding steps. Step 17: Restart optionOverride the default and select No, I will restart my computer later.. We'll restart our test system after we install the Management Center, so there's no need to do so now. SummaryIn this section we installed iPlanet Directory Server version 4.11. We specified logins and passwords for the Administrator and the Directory Manager. We also assigned port numbers for client access (389) and administrative access (4000). |
