A.2. Parameters in the [General] Section

The [General] section supports the following parameters:

Table A.1. Parameters in the [General] Section

Directive	Description	Required
`AdminDomain`	Specifies the administration domain, such as `example.com`, under which this Directory Server instance is registered. See Section 1.2.10, “Administration Domain” for more information about administration domains.	No
`ConfigDirectoryAdminID`	Specifies the user ID of the user that has administration privileges to the configuration directory. This is usually `admin`.	No
`ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd`	Specifies the password for the `admin` user.	Yes
`ConfigDirectoryLdapURL`	Specifies the LDAP URL, such as `ldap://ldap.example.com:389/o=NetscapeRoot`, that is used to connect to your configuration directory. LDAP URLs are described in the Red Hat Directory Server Administration Guide	Yes
`FullMachineName`	Specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the machine on which you are installing the server. The default is the local host name. The given host name must be a FQDN that can be resolved using `gethostname()`. Verify that the FQDN resolves forward and reverse. Using a CNAME alias is supported.	No
`slapd.InstScriptsEnabled`	This parameter controls if `setup-ds-admin.pl` creates the instance-specific scripts in the `/usr/lib64/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/` directory. The default is `false`. However, existing scripts in this directory are updated when running the `setup-ds.pl --update` command. Regardless of the setting, the instance-independent versions are installed in the `/usr/sbin/` directory.	No
`StrictHostCheck`	By default, Directory Server verifies that the FQDN set in the `FullMachineName` parameter can be resolved using DNS. However, in certain situations, administrators want to disable this check. Setting the `StrictHostCheck` parameter to `false` enables you, for example, to install Directory Server behind a load balancer, as described in Section 4.1, “Installing Directory Server Behind a Load Balancer”.	No
`SuiteSpotGroup`	Specifies the group as which the servers will run. The default is the `dirsrv` group.	No
`SuiteSpotUserID`	Specifies the user name as which the Directory Server instance runs. This parameter does not apply to the user as which the Administration Server runs. The default is the `dirsrv` user.	No
