A.1. About .inf File Parameters
With a silent setup, all of the configuration information that is normally supplied interactively with the setup program must be included in the
.inf file or passed in the command line with the setup-ds-admin.pl command.
The
.inf file has three sections:
[General]— which supplies information about the server machine; these are global directives that are common to all your Directory Servers. See Section A.2, “Parameters in the[General]Section”.[slapd]— which supplies information about the specific Directory Server instance; this information, like the port and server ID, must be unique. See Section A.3, “Parameters in the[slapd]Section”.[admin]— which supplies information specific to the Administration Server instance; this is not used when creating additional Directory Server server instances or setting up a single Directory Server instance. See Section A.4, “Parameters in the[admin]Section”.
The format of the
.inf file is as follows:
[General] directive=value directive=value directive=value ... [slapd] directive=value directive=value directive=value ... [admin] directive=value directive=value directive=value
