This topic provides the steps required to configure IBM® Directory Server
Version 5.1 in order to use it with SAN File System.
Prerequisites
You must have completed Installing IBM Directory Server Version 5.1 and Creating
the LDAP database before starting this procedure.
Context
After you install IBM Directory Server 5.1 and create the database, you need
to create and import your configuration.
LDAP configurations are specified
in a format known as LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF). You can see a sample
LDIF file in LDIF file.
Steps
- Start the IBM Directory Server configuration tool: .
- Click Manage Suffixes.
- In the Suffix DN field, type o=yourOrg.
Note
that o=yourOrg is the default value provided in the example LDIF. If
you edited this value, make sure your entry matches the edited value.
- Click Add.
- Click OK.
- Click Import ldif data in the left column.
- Enter the file name of your saved LDIF configuration file.
Tip: IBM Directory Server expects a c:\tmp directory on your
system drive when importing an LDIF file. Make sure that you have this directory;
if it does not exist, create it.
- Click Import to start importing the LDIF file.
- Close the configuration tool when the import completes. Your LDAP server is now configured to be used with SAN File System.
