Preface
The Admin Server Guide provides information on using a support administrative server with identity
management projects including Red Hat Directory Server and Red Hat Certificate System. T he Admin
Server runs the Java consoles used by those servers, as well as providing web services and storing
configuration information for those services.
The Admin Server is installed and configured automatically with Red Hat Directory Server. T his guide
covers how to use and manage the Admin Server through its own Java Console (part of Red Hat
Console, along with the Directory Server Console), through native command-line tools, and through the
integrated web services.
1. Examples and Formatting
Each of the examples used in this guide, such as file locations and commands, have certain defined
conventions.
1.1. Command and File Examples
All of the examples for Red Hat Directory Server commands, file locations, and other usage are given for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (32-bit) systems. Be certain to use the appropriate commands and files for
your platform.
Example 1. Example Command
To start the Red Hat Directory Server:
service dirsrv start
1.2. Tool Locations
The tools for Red Hat Directory Server are located in the /usr/bin and the /usr/sbin directories.
These tools can be run from any location without specifying the tool location.
1.3. LDAP Locations
There is another important consideration with the Red Hat Directory Server tools. T he LDAP tools
referenced in this guide are Mozilla LDAP, installed with Red Hat Directory Server in the
/usr/lib/mozldap directory on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (32-bit) (or /usr/lib64/mozldap for
64-bit systems).
However, Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems also include LDAP tools from OpenLDAP in the /usr/bin
directory. It is possible to use the OpenLDAP commands as shown in the examples, but you must use
the -x argument to disable SASL, which OpenLDAP tools use by default.
1.4. Text Formatting and Styles
Certain words are represented in different fonts, styles, and weights. Different character formatting is
used to indicate the function or purpose of the phrase being highlighted.
Formatting Style Purpose
Monospace font Monospace is used for commands, package
names, files and directory paths, and any text
