About This Guide

Welcome to Netscape Directory Server (Directory Server). This manual provides a

high-level overview of design and planning decisions you need to make before

installing the Directory Server, and describes the different installation methods that

you can use.

This preface contains the following sections:

• Prerequisite Reading (page 7)

• Directory Server Overview (page 7)

• Conventions Used In This Guide (page 8)

• Related Information (page 9)

Prerequisite Reading

Before you install Directory Server, we recommend that you read the Netscape

Directory Server Deployment Guide.Thisguidecoverskeyconceptsonhowto

design and plan your directory service.

After you finish planning your directory service, follow the steps in this installation

guide to install the Directory Server and its related software components.

Directory Server Overview

The major components of Directory Server include:

•An LDAP server—The core of the directory service, provided by the ns-slapd

daemon, and compliant with the LDAP v3 Internet standards.

Conventions Used In This Guide

8 Netscape Directory Server Installation Guide • May 2002

•Directory Server Console—An improved management console that

dramatically reduces the effort of setting up and maintaining your directory

service. The directory console is part of Netscape Console, the common

management framework for Netscape servers.

•SNMP Agent—Permits you to monitor your directory server in real time using

the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

•Online backup and restore—Allows you to create backups and restore from

backups while the server is running.

Conventions Used In This Guide

This section explains the conventions used in this book.

Monospaced font—Thistypefaceisusedforanytextthatappearsonthecomputer

screen or text that you should type. It is also used for filenames, functions, and

examples.

The greater than symbol (>) is used as a separator for successive menu selections.

For example, Object > New > User means that you should pull down the Object

menu, drag the mouse down to highlight New, and drag the mouse across to the

New submenu in which you must select User.

Throughout this book you will see path references of the form:

/usr/netscape/servers/slapd-serverID/...

The /usr/netscape/servers directory is the default installation directory. If you

have installed Directory Server in a different location, you should adapt the path

accordingly. serverID represents the server identifier you gave the server when you

installed it. For example, if you gave the server an identifier of phonebook,thenthe

actual path would be:

/usr/netscape/servers/slapd-phonebook/. . .

NOTE Notes and Cautions mark important information. Make sure you

read the information before continuing with a task.
