4.4. Registering Servers Using register-ds-admin.pl
Each instance of Directory Server is, or can be, registered with another Configuration Directory Server instance and with an Admin Server instance. This registration can be changed using the
register-ds-admin.pl script.
Important
The
register-ds-admin.pl script does not support external LDAP URLs, so the Directory Server instance must be registered against a local Admin Server.
4.4.1. register-ds-admin.pl Options
Running
register-ds-admin.pl creates a default instance of the Admin Server and Configuration Directory Server if they do not already exist, then registers any existing Directory Servers with the Configuration Directory Server.
Table 4.1. register-ds-admin.pl Options
| Option | Flag | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| --debug | -d[dddd] | This parameter turns on debugging information. For the -d flag, increasing the number of d's increases the debug level. | |
| --logfile name | -l | This parameter specifies a log file to which to write the output. If this is not set, then the setup information is written to a temporary file. |
-l /export/example2007.log
For no log file, set the file name to
/dev/null:
-l /dev/null

4.4.2. Registering an Existing Directory Server Instance with the Configuration Directory Server
The Configuration Directory Server uses the
o=NetscapeRoot database to store information about the Directory Servers and Admin Servers in your network. This is used by the Console and the Admin Servers. This database can belong to a separate Directory Server instance, called the Configuration Directory Server. There is an option when an instance is first set up to register it with a Configuration Directory Server. It is possible to register an existing Directory Server instance with a Configuration Directory Server using the register-ds-admin.pl script.
# register-ds-admin.pl
