Installing IBM Directory Server Version 5.1

This procedure lists steps that you can use as examples to configure your LDAP server when using IBM® Directory Server Version 5.1.

Steps

  1. Download the IBM Directory Server Version 5.1 software from the Web site: www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/download/search.jsp?rs=ldap&go=y.
    1. Choose an appropriate platform.
    2. Select a language.
    3. Register.
    4. Define a user ID and password, and then fill in the questionnaire and accept the license agreement.
    5. Choose the CD-image or zip-file download. The CD-image download is copied to a temporary directory. From that temporary directory, copy the image onto a CD. When you insert the CD into the drive, the installation wizard starts automatically.

      If you download the zip file, unzip it and run setup.exe.

    6. After you download either the CD image or the zip file and start the installation, continue with step 2.
  2. Select a language to use for the installation and click OK.
  3. Click Next to continue when the Welcome screen appears.
  4. Select the button that indicates that you accept the terms when the license agreement appears. Then click Next.
  5. Select a directory to install IBM Directory Server. The default is C:\Program Files\IBM\LDAP. You can accept this or enter an alternative, and then click Next.
  6. Select the language for IBM Directory Server and click Next.
  7. Select the setup type. This example uses Typical. Click Next.
  8. Accept the defaults in the features window.
  9. Specify a user ID and password for IBM DB2®. DB2 is used as the underlying repository and is installed automatically. You can specify a new user ID or an existing one. If the ID exists, then the password must be correct.
  10. Click Next if all of the installation options are correct in the summary of the installation options that appears.
  11. Click OK to continue when a window appears that states that DB2 will install in the background. This installation can take up to 20 minutes.
  12. After some time, an IBM Global Security Toolkit (GSKit) message appears. The GSKit installs in the background, which can take up to 5 minutes. The GSKit provides a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with encryption strengths up to triple data encryption service (DES). A DOS window is displayed.
  13. After some time, the IBM WebSphere® Application Server Express window appears. This application installs in the background, which can take up to 10 minutes. WebSphere provides the application environment for IBM Directory Server.
  14. After this installation is complete, the readme file for the IBM Directory Server client is displayed. Review it and click Next to continue.
  15. The server readme file is displayed. Review it and click Next to continue.
  16. You are prompted to restart your system now or later. A reboot is required to complete the installation. Select Yes, restart my system and click Next. The installation complete window opens. Click Finish to continue and reboot the server.
