Configuring the administrative LDAP server

This topic lists the steps required to set up access to the administrative server that can be found on the LDAP server.

Prerequisites

You must complete Installing IBM® Directory Server Version 5.1, Creating the LDAP database, and Configuring Directory Server for SAN File System before completing this procedure.

Steps

  1. Start the LDAP server.
  2. Change directories to C:\Program Files\IBM\LDAP\bin
  3. Enter the ibmslapd command to start the Directory Server. The Directory Server starts, and you see the following status messages:
    Note: When the Directory Server starts, leave this window open in the background. If you close the window, the Directory Server stops.

  4. From another command prompt, change directories to C:\Program Files\IBM\ldap\appsrv\bin\.
  5. Enter the startserver.bat server1 command to start the administrative server. The administrative server starts, and you see the following status messages:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\LDAP\appsrv\bin>startserver.bat server1
    ADMU0116I: Tool information is being logged in file C:\Program
    Files\IBM\LDAP\appsrv\logs\server1\startServer.log

    ADMU3200I: Server launched. Waiting for initialization status.
    ADMU3000I: Server server1 open for e-business; process id is 1916
  6. Close the command prompt after the administrative server starts.
  7. Verify that the administrative server is operating correctly:
    1. With a browser, view the IBM Directory Server at (replacing localhost with your host name)
      http://localhost: 9080/IDSWebApp/IDSjsp/Login.jsp

    2. Enter the default user name superadmin and password secret and click Login. The main administrator console is displayed.
  8. Change the default administrator login password, if necessary:
    1. Select Change console administrator login from the left column.
    2. Enter a new password and click OK.
  9. Click Manage console servers.
  10. Add the host name of your local machine.
  11. Click Add and the Add server panel is displayed.
  12. Enter the host name (the short name or full name) and leave the other options as their default. Click OK.
  13. The list of console servers is displayed, showing that the local host is added.
  14. You can ensure that the local host has been added correctly by logging out and then logging in again, using your host name and LDAP user name.
    1. Select the localhostname in the LDAP Hostname drop-down list.
    2. Enter the user name and password as defined in the LDIF file that you imported.
    3. Click Login.
  15. The default administrator console, IBM Directory Server Web Administration Tool, is displayed.

IBM Directory Server is now installed and ready for use by SAN File System.
