Adding a suffix

You can use either the Configuration Tool or the command line to add suffixes.

Adding a suffix with the Configuration Tool

To add a suffix using the Configuration Tool:

1. Be sure the directory server instance is stopped.
2. In the Configuration Tool, click Manage suffixes in the task list on the left. (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. In the Manage suffixes window, type the suffix you want to add in the SuffixDN field, and click Add.
4. When you have added all the suffixes you want, click OK.
   Note:
   When you click Add, the suffix is added to the list in the Current suffix DNs box; however, the suffix is not actually added to the directory until you click OK.

Adding a suffix with the command line

You can use the idscfgsuf command to configure a suffix for a directory server instance. The suffix is added to the directory server instance's ibmslapd.conf file. This command fails if the directory server instance is a proxy server or if the suffix already exists in the configuration file.

For example:

To configure the suffix o=sample on a computer with a single directory server instance, issue the command:

idscfgsuf -s o=sample

To configure the suffix o=sample for directory server instance myinstance on a computer with a multiple directory server instances, issue the command:

idscfgsuf -I myinstance -s o=sample

See the IBM® Tivoli® Directory Server Version 6.3 Command Reference for detailed information about the idscfgsuf command.
