Thanks for the swift response - size depends on the success of the project - am tempted to
go with external config directory assuming I can get it working...I tried to the procedure
I listed below i.e. installed the RPM, ran setup to create a 'dsconfig' instance
on port 5555.Then I created a master.inf file for inputing into the ds_newinst.pl
script:[General]FullMachineName= server1.jamesd.comSuiteSpotUserID= ldapServerRoot=
/opt/fedora-dsConfigDirectoryAdminID= adminConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=
blahConfigDirectoryLdapURL= ldap://server1.jamesd.com:5555/o=NetscapeRootAdminDomain=
jamesd.com[slapd]ServerPort= 389ServerIdentifier= master01Suffix=
dc=jamesd,dc=comRootDN= cn=Directory ManagerRootDNPwd= blahUserExistingMC=1When I ran
that it seemed to work - instance called master01 was created and is running.When running
the console though, it's not listed - only the Administration Server and
'dsconfig' Directory Server instance. How can I make the master01 instance appear
in the admin console and also verify that master01 is using dsconfig to stores is
configuration data?Thanks again> Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 09:33:37 -0600> From:
