Overview#

A Custom Menu Driven Script used for a couple of Clients.

Installing eDirectory on a Server for the First Time#

Creating a new server, wether it is to go into an existing tree or go into a "new" tree, the same process is done.

• Main Build Script Menu
• 1 - Binary installation and maintenance
• 2 - Install eDirectory Base binaries (8.7.3)

NOTE:
If this is a Solaris server, it may require a reboot if the /etc/system file was updated. Use the following commands to restart the server if needed:

• sync
• shutdown –i6 –g0 –y

At this point, the eDirectory software has been installed, but the server is not in a tree nor will it accept LDAP requests. Proceed to the proper section in this document to create a new tree, or insert this server into an existing tree.

Return to Main Build Script Menu

• 3 - Insert/Remove server from eDirectory tree

Then select either:

• 2 - Install server in NEW Tree

or

• 3 - Install server in Existing Tree
