Procedure

  1. If your account has disabled Simple Content Access (SCA):

    1. List the available subscriptions in your Red Hat account and identify the pool ID that provides Red Hat Directory Server. For example: 

      # subscription-manager list --all --available --matches 'Red Hat Directory Server'
...
Subscription Name:   Example Subscription
Provides:            ...
                     Red Hat Directory Server
                     ...
Pool ID:             5ab6a8df96b03fd30aba9a9c58da57a1
Available:           1
...
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    2. Attach the Red Hat Directory Server subscription to the system using the pool ID from the previous step: 

      # subscription-manager attach --pool=5ab6a8df96b03fd30aba9a9c58da57a1
Successfully attached a subscription for: Example Subscription
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Enable the Directory Server packages repository. For example, to enable the Directory Server 11.9 repository, run: 

    # subscription-manager repos --enable=dirsrv-11.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
Repository 'dirsrv-11.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms' is enabled for this system.
