IBM Tivoli Directory Server, Version 6.3

Installing with the Typical installation path on Windows systems

To install Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 using the Typical installation path:

  1. Be sure that you are logged on as a member of the Administrators group.
  2. On the computer where you are installing Tivoli Directory Server, stop any programs that are running and close all windows. If you have windows open, the initial Tivoli Directory Server installation window might be hidden behind other windows.
  3. If you are installing from a DVD:
    1. Insert the DVD in your DVD drive.
    2. Go to the DVD drive, and then go to the tds folder.

    If you are installing from downloaded .zip files, go to the folder where you downloaded all the zip files. Uncompress all the .zip files to the tdsV6.3 folder, and then go to the tdsV6.3\tds folder.

  4. Double-click the tdsV6.3\tds\install_tds.exe icon.

    If you prefer, you can use the command line to begin installation and specify a temporary directory other than the one specified by the TEMP environment variable. To use this option, go to the appropriate directory (from step 3) and type the following at a command prompt:

    install_tds -is:tempdir directory

    where directory is the directory you want to use for temporary space. Be sure that you have at least 255 MB of free space in this directory. If you are installing any of the corequisite products ( Embedded WebSphere® Application Server or DB2®) be sure that you also have an additional 150 MB in the directory specified by the TEMP environment variable.

    For example:

    install_tds -is:tempdir "c:\My Documents\temp"

    The language window is displayed.

    Note:
    If the installation program exits without displaying the language window, it might be because there is not enough space in the directory specified by the TEMP environment variable or the directory you specified for temporary space. Be sure that you have at least 255 MB of free space in this directory.
  5. Select the language you want to use during Tivoli Directory Server installation. Click OK.
    Note:
    This is the language used in the installation program, not in Tivoli Directory Server messages, tools such as the Configuration Tool, or for storing data in Tivoli® Directory Server. The language used in Tivoli Directory Server is determined by the language pack you install.
  6. On the Welcome window, click Next.
  7. After reading the Software license agreement, select I accept the terms in the license agreement if you are willing to accept the agreement. Click Next.
  8. If you have any components already installed, they are displayed with their corresponding version levels. Click Next.
  9. To install in the default directory, click Next. You can specify a different directory by clicking Browse or typing the directory path you want. The directory will be created if it does not exist. (The default installation directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\LDAP\V6.3.)
    Notes:
    1. If you have already installed one or more language packs, the installation location is set to the path where you installed the language packs, and you are not asked where you want to install.
    2. Be sure that the installation location is not the same as the path where another version of the client or the server is installed.
    3. Do not use special characters, such as hyphen (-) and period (.) in the name of the installation directory. For example, use ldapdir rather than ldap-dir or ldap.dir.
    4. Do not use national language characters in the name of the installation directory.
  10. Click Typical and then click Next.
  11. If DB2 is being installed, a window is displayed prompting you to enter a Windows user ID and password for the DB2 system ID. On the window:
    1. Type the user ID. This user ID must not be the user ID you intend to use as the owner of the directory server instance.

      If you are not using an existing user ID, DB2 creates the user ID you specify with the password you type. This is the preferred method.

      Note:
      If you are creating a new user ID and your system has "Password must meet complexity requirements" enabled, be sure that the password you supply meets the complexity requirements. If it does not, installation will fail. See the Windows documentation for information about complexity requirements.

      If you are using an existing Windows user ID, it must be a member of the Administrators group.

    2. Type the password, and then type the password again for verification. (If you are using an existing Windows user ID, be sure that your password is correct. Otherwise, DB2 does not install correctly.)
    3. Click Next.
    Note:
    If multiple supported copies of DB2 are already installed on the system, a window is displayed with the installed versions of DB2. Choose the level of DB2 you want to use, and then click Next. (You will not be asked for a user ID and password.)
  12. The installation program now has enough information to begin installing. A summary window displays the components that will be installed, the installation locations, and the amount of disk space required. The Typical installation path installs all features that are not already installed. If you want to install different features, you must click Back until you reach the window where you selected Typical installation, and select Custom installation instead. Then use the instructions in Installing with the Custom installation path on Windows systems. Typical installation does not allow you to select features for installation.

    Click Install to begin installation.

    Progress windows are displayed as features are installed.

    Notes:
    1. The installpath\bin, installpath\sbin, and installpath\lib directories are not added to the PATH environment variable. This allows Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 to coexist with Tivoli Directory Server 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2.
    2. If the Web Administration Tool is installed, Directory Services Markup Language (DSML) files are also copied to your computer. See Appendix M. Installing and configuring DSML for information about installing and configuring DSML.
    3. If the Web Administration Tool is installed, a Web application server is required to run the tool, and Embedded WebSphere Application Server is installed and configured for you. If Tivoli Directory Server 6.0 is installed with version 5.1.1 of Embedded WebSphere Application Server, Tivoli Directory Server 6.1 is installed with version 6.1 of Embedded WebSphere Application Server, or Tivoli Directory Server 6.2 is installed with version 6.1 of Embedded WebSphere Application Server, the InstallShield GUI installation program automatically migrates your configuration to the version provided with Tivoli Directory Server 6.3. If you want to use another WebSphere application server, you must use Custom installation to select a Web application server.

      When Embedded WebSphere Application Server is installed and an application (such as the Web Administration tool ) is deployed into Embedded WebSphere Application Server, the Embedded WebSphere Application Server for that application is also installed as a service, and the service is automatically started.

    Note:
    After installation has begun, do not try to cancel the installation. If you inadvertently cancel the installation, see the information about recovering from a failed installation in the IBM® Tivoli Directory Server version 6.3 Problem Determination Guide before you attempt to reinstall.
  13. The Typical installation path creates the default directory server instance with the following information, which you cannot change:

    In addition, the o=sample suffix is created for the default directory server instance. You can add other suffixes later by using the Configuration Tool or the idscfgsuf command. See Managing suffixes for information.

    Type the following additional information about the default directory server instance in the appropriate fields:

    User password
    Type the system password for user dsrdbm01. If this user does not exist on the system, the user ID will be created with the password you specify. If the user ID already exists, be sure to type the correct password for the user.
    Confirm password
    Type the password again for confirmation.
    Encryption seed
    Type an encryption seed string (used as a seed for generating encrypted stash files). The encryption seed must only contain printable ISO-8859-1 ASCII characters with values in the range of 33 to 126 inclusive, and must be a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 1016 characters in length. For information about characters that can be used, see Appendix K. ASCII characters from 33 to 126.
    Note:
    Save the encryption seed for future references.

    This encryption seed is used to generate a set of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) secret key values. These values are used to encrypt and decrypt directory stored password and secret key attributes.

    Confirm seed
    Type the encryption seed string again for confirmation.
    Administrator DN password
    Type a password for the administrator DN for the directory server instance. (The Administrator DN for the default directory instance is cn=root.)
    Confirm DN password
    Type the administrator DN password again for confirmation.
    Click Next when you have completed all the fields.
  14. The Installation complete window is displayed. The installation is complete, and the default directory server instance has been created.

    Click Finish.

    Note:
    If you are asked if you want to restart your computer now or later, select the option you want and click Finish. (You might need to restart your system to complete Tivoli Directory Server installation. You cannot use Tivoli Directory Server until this is completed.)

    If your computer is restarted, log in using the same user ID that you used to install Tivoli Directory Server.

    If you installed DB2, the DB2 First Steps GUI might be started. You can go through the DB2 First Steps or close this GUI.

Note:
A license subdirectory is created in the directory where Tivoli Directory Server is installed. This subdirectory contains Tivoli Directory Server license files in all provided languages.

The Instance Administration Tool gets launched, and you can use the Instance Administration Tool to add more directory server instances or edit existing directory server instances. See Creating and administering instances for instructions.

To make changes to your configuration at a later time, see Configuration for more information about using the Configuration Tool.

If any errors occurred during installation, instance creation, or configuration, see the information in the IBM Tivoli Directory Server version 6.3 Problem Determination Guide for information about recovering from these errors.
