8.2. Set-up a Directory Server and Console


Overview

This stage of the tutorial explains how to install the X.500 directory server and the management console from the Fedora 389 Directory Server project. If you already have access to a 389 Directory Server instance, you can skip the instructions for installing the 389 Directory Server and install the 389 Management Console instead.

Prerequisites

If you are installing on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform, you must first install the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL). See the installation notes under RHEL/Cent OS/ EPEL ( RHEL 6, RHEL 7, Cent OS 6, Cent OS 7) on the fedoraproject.org site.

Install 389 Directory Server

If you do not have access to an existing 389 Directory Server instance, you can install 389 Directory Server on your local machine, as follows:
  1. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora platforms, use the standard yum package management utility to install 389 Directory Server. Enter the following command at a command prompt (you must have administrator privileges on your machine):
    sudo yum install 389-ds
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Note
    The required 389-ds and 389-console RPM packages are available for Fedora, RHEL6+EPEL, and CentOS7+EPEL platforms. At the time of writing, the 389-console package is not yet available for RHEL 7.
  2. After installing the 389 directory server packages, enter the following command to configure the directory server:
    sudo setup-ds-admin.pl
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    The script is interactive and prompts you to provide the basic configuration settings for the 389 directory server. When the script is complete, it automatically launches the 389 directory server in the background.
  3. For more details about how to install 389 Directory Server, see the Download page.

Install 389 Management Console

If you already have access to a 389 Directory Server instance, you only need to install the 389 Management Console, which enables you to log in and manage the server remotely. You can install the 389 Management Console, as follows:
  • On Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora platforms—use the standard yum package management utility to install the 389 Management Console. Enter the following command at a command prompt (you must have administrator privileges on your machine):
    sudo yum install 389-console
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • On Windows platforms—see the Windows Console download instructions from fedoraproject.org.

Connect the console to the server

To connect the 389 Directory Server Console to the LDAP server:
  1. Enter the following command to start up the 389 Management Console:
    389-console
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. A login dialog appears. Fill in the LDAP login credentials in the User ID and Password fields, and customize the hostname in the Administration URL field to connect to your 389 management server instance (port 9830 is the default port for the 389 management server instance).
  3. The 389 Management Console window appears. Select the Servers and Applications tab.
  4. In the left-hand pane, drill down to the Directory Server icon.
  5. Select the Directory Server icon in the left-hand pane and click Open, to open the 389 Directory Server Console.
  6. In the 389 Directory Server Console, click the Directory tab, to view the Directory Information Tree (DIT).
  7. Expand the root node, YourDomain (usually named after a hostname, and shown as localdomain in the following screenshot), to view the DIT.
