Installing and Configuring Your Directory Server

Installing the Directory Server

You need to set up the Netscape/Red Hat Directory Server if it is not already installed. HP recommends that you install the HP Netscape Directory Server product, J4258CA, or HP Red Hat Directory Server, NSDirSvr7. This product can be downloaded from http://software.hp.com. You need to install it with the Netscape Directory Server product for HP-UX version 6.11/6.21 or HP Red Hat Directory Server 7.0/7.1.

The posix schema is already installed if you have installed the Directory Server for HP-UX version 6.02 or later version. The schema is in the file /opt/ldapux/ypldapd/etc/slapd-v3.nis.conf. For more information on the posix schema (RFC2307), see http://www/ietf.org/rfc.html. RFC 2307 consists of object classes such as, posixAccount, posixGroup, and so on. posixAccount represents a user entry from the /etc/passwd file. posixGroup represents a group entry from the /etc/group file.

Verifying the Directory Server

Run the following command to verify that you have installed and configured the Directory Server properly, and verify if Directory Server daemons are up and running:

$ ps -ef | grep ns-

The output of this command is as follows:
