NAME

       setup-ds-admin.pl - Set up an instance of Directory Server and Admin Server

SYNOPSIS

       setup-ds-admin.pl [--options] -- [args]

DESCRIPTION

       Set up a Directory Server and Admin Server.  Creates the configuration files for an instance of Directory
       Server  based  on  a  few  parameters  like the hostname, port number, and directory manager information.
       Creates the configuration files for the Admin Server.  Starts up the servers.  This command does the  set
       up necessary for the use of the Console and the Admin Express web interface.

       If  the Admin Server has already been set up, this command will create a new instance of Directory Server
       and register it with the Admin Server so that it can be managed with the Console.

       Use this command with the --update option after an upgrade to refresh the  server  information  (version,
       build number, etc.) in the Console.

       Can  be  run  in  interactive  mode with different levels of verbosity, or in silent mode with parameters
       supplied in a .inf format file or on the command line.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below:

       --help This message

       --version
              Print the version and exit

       --debug
              Turn on debugging

       --silent
              Use silent setup - no user input

       --file=name
              Use the file 'name' in .inf format to supply the default answers

       --keepcache
              Do not delete the temporary .inf file generated by this program

       --logfile
              Log setup messages to this file - otherwise, a temp file will be used

       --update
              Refresh the information used by the Console for all servers on this machine.  Use  this  after  an
              upgrade to make sure the Console reports the correct information.

       For  all  options,  you can also use the short name e.g. -h, -d, etc.  For the -d argument, specifying it
       more than once will increase the debug level e.g. -ddddd

       args: You can supply default .inf data in this format:

              section.param=value

       e.g.

              General.FullMachineName=foo.example.com

       or

              "slapd.Suffix=dc=example, dc=com"

       Values passed in this manner will override values in an .inf file given with the -f argument.
