Optional [slapd] Installation Directives
You may provide these directives when you use silent installation with Directory Server.
Table 4-2 and Table 4-3 list the directives.
Required Directive Description
Components Specifies the slapd components to be installed. The components are:
slapd - Install Directory Server
slapd-client - Install Directory Server Console
This directive is required. It is recommended that you always install
both components any time you install the Directory Server.
ServerPort Specifies the port the server uses for LDAP connections. For
information on selecting server port numbers, see
Section 1.2.1 Choosing Unique Port Numbers. This directive is
required.
ServerIdentifier Specifies the server identifier. This directive is required. This value is
used as part of the name of the directory in which the Directory Server
instance is installed. For example, if your machine’s host name is
phonebook, then this name is the default, and selecting it causes the
Directory Server instance to be installed into a directory labeled
slapd-phonebook.
Suffix Specifies the suffix that you store your directory data under. For
information on suffixes, see
Section 1.2.5 Determining Your Directory Suffix. This directive is
required.
RootDN Specifies the distinguished name used by the directory manager. For
information on the directory manager, see
Section 1.2.4 Defining Authentication Entities. This directive is
required.
RootDNPwd Specifies the directory manager’s password. This directive is required.
Table 4-2. Required [slapd] Installation Directives
Optional Directive Description
AddSampleEntries If set to yes, this directive causes the example.ldif sample directory to
be loaded. Use this directive if you are installing the Directory Server
for evaluation purposes and you do not already have an LDIF file with
which to populate your directory. Default is no.
AddOrgEntries If set to yes, this directive causes the new Directory Server instance to
be created with a suggested directory structure and access control. If
this directive is used and InstallLdifFile is also used, then this directive
has no effect. Default is no.
