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.
