OpenDS

Installing and Configuring OpenDS on a Unix/Linux System

In order to install OpenDS, you can either download the prepackaged zip archive from the OpenDS website, or you can simply point your web-browser to the java based Web Start installation file. You can access both of these files at:

https://opends.dev.java.net/public/downloads_index.html

Note that OpenDS is available for OpenSolaris in the package repository and instructions for the installation of the package are available here:

https://docs.opends.org/1.2/page/InstallingTheDirectoryServerFromAnIPSPackageOpenSolarisOnly

If you are installing OpenDS on a system that is provisioned with an X server and you can run GUI applications, you may want to use the Quick Setup Tool that comes with OpenDS. You can find more information on installation using the Quick Setup Tool at:

https://www.opends.org/wiki/page/OverviewOfTheQuickSetupTool

If you have no access to a GUI, you will need to setup and configure OpenDS on the command line. This can be done either in interactive mode:

setup --cli


Or by specifying all of your setup options as arguments on the command-line:

setup --cli --no-prompt -Q -p 389 --adminConnectorPort 4444 \-D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password -a -b dc=mycompany,dc=com


You can even get OpenDS to import data from an LDIF file directly when running the setup from the command-line:

setup --cli --no-prompt -Q -p 389 --adminConnectorPort 4444 \-D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password -a -b dc=mycompany,dc=com\-l "mycompany.ldif"


For more command-line setup instructions, please refer to:
