Welcome
Welcome to the IBM(R) Tivoli Directory Server Configuration Tool.
This tool will help you configure the directory server on the local system.
If you have just installed IBM Tivoli Directory Server, set the administrator distinguished name (DN)
and password, and then configure the database to be used to store your LDAP directory data.
You must do both of these tasks before you can successfully start the server.
At any time, you can use the Configuration Tool to complete the following tasks:
- Set the directory administrator name and password
Click Administrator DN/password to define or reset the DN and password for the
directory administrator.
- Configure the directory DB2 database
Click Configure database to configure the directory
database or to reconfigure the directory database if one has
been detected by the Configuration Tool.
- Unconfigure the database
Click Unconfigure database to unconfigure a previously configured database.
- Manage the changelog database
Click Configure/unconfigure changelog to enable or disable the changelog, which
logs changes to the directory.
- Manage suffixes
Click Manage suffixes to add suffixes to or remove suffixes from the directory server.
- Manage schema files
Click Manage schema files to change the list of schema files that will be loaded
at startup.
- Import LDIF data
Click Import LDIF data to import data from an LDIF file.
- Export LDIF data
Click Export LDIF data to export data to an LDIF file.
- Back up the database
Click Backup database to back up the data and configuration
settings for the directory.
- Restore the database
Click Restore database to restore data previously
backed up for the directory.
- Optimize the database
Click Optimize database to update statistics related to the data tables;
this can improve performance and query speed
Note: After you start running a command that takes a long time in the Configuration
Tool, such as backing up the database, you can close the Configuration Tool and it will continue to
run the command until it completes. You can then start the Configuration Tool again and check
on the status of the command.
