Configuring the DirX Directory Server

The installation of the DirX add-on package places all required integration files into a subdirectory called customize. This subdirectory is located in the installation directory of the DirX directory server software.

To configure the DirX directory server:

1. On the UNIX host, log in as dirx and enter the following commands:

su - dirx

cd customize

sh ./generate.sh

2. At the system prompt "Do you want to load sample data? [n]", enter y for yes.

The generate.sh scripts generate the log.txt log file, which should be edited. If the generation fails, the system returns a FAILED message.

The script takes a few minutes to create, initialize, and configure the database and start the server processes.

 NOTE: To verify that the integration was successful, open log.txt file with an editor, such as vi, and search for FAILED. If the search is not successful, the integration was successful.



 

3. To verify that the DirX directory server processes are running, enter:

ps -ef | grep dirx

The system should display three processes, as shown in the following sample screen output:

root 20263 20260 0 Feb 11 ? 5:40 /export/home/dirx/bin/dirxldapv3

dirx 20261 20260 0 Feb 11 ?26:26 /export/home/dirx/bin/dirxdsa -d

/export/home/dirx/server/DB

dirx 20260 143 0 Feb 11 ?0:00 /export/home/dirx/bin/dirxdsas -d

/export/home/dirx

Wait for the output of all three processes to appear. The DirX LDAPv3 daemon process takes longer than the other two.
