Configuring the database for a directory server instance

When you configure a database, the Configuration Tool adds information about the database that will be used to store directory data to the configuration file for the directory server instance. In addition, if the database does not already exist, the Configuration Tool creates the database.

1. The server must be stopped before you configure or unconfigure the database.
2. This option is not available if you are configuring a proxy server or if you have not installed the full directory server on the computer.
3. If you created the default instance, the database for that instance has already been created and configured.

You can use either the Configuration Tool or the command line to configure the database.
