IBM Tivoli Directory Server, Version 6.3

Installing with the Custom installation path on AIX, Linux, and Solaris systems

To install Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 on AIX®, Linux, and Solaris systems using the Custom installation path:

  1. Log in as root.
  2. If you are installing from a DVD, insert the DVD in your DVD drive, and then change directories to the tds directory on the DVD.

    If you are installing from downloaded .tar files, go to the folder where you downloaded all the tar files. Untar all the .tar files, and then go to the tdsV6.3/tds subdirectory.

  3. Type ./install_tds.bin

    If you prefer, you can specify a temporary directory other than the system temporary directory. To use this option, change directories to the appropriate directory (from step 2) and type the following at a command prompt:

    ./install_tds.bin -is:tempdir directory

    where directory is the directory you want to use for temporary space. Be sure that you have at least 300 MB of free space in this directory on AIX and Linux systems, and 400 MB on Solaris systems. 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 /tmp directory.

    For example:

    ./install_tds.bin -is:tempdir /opt/tmp

    A language window is displayed.

  4. 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. The language used in Tivoli Directory Server is determined by the language pack you install.
  5. On the Welcome window, click Next.
  6. 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.
  7. If you have any components already installed, they are displayed with their corresponding version levels. Click Next.
  8. Click Custom and then click Next.

    If the window in the following step is very slow to be displayed, you might have a slow network drive attached. You can detach the network drive and see if the window is displayed more quickly.

  9. A window showing the following components for installation is displayed: Components that are already installed are not displayed.
    Notes:
    1. If a corequisite product (such as Tivoli Global Security Kit) is not displayed and it is not already installed on the system, be sure that you downloaded the .tar file for that product and extracted it in the same directory where you extracted the other Tivoli Directory Server .tar files. (If you do not want to install that corequisite product, you need not download the .tar file, but be aware that it will not be displayed on the window that shows the installable components.)
    2. If you require SSL, be sure that you select Tivoli Global Security Kit unless you already have a valid version of GSKit installed. If you do not select this option, encryption cannot be used.

      On AIX systems, the idsldap.clt_max_crypto32bit63, idsldap.clt_max_crypto64bit63, and idsldap.srv_max_cryptobase64bit63 packages (for encryption) are installed only if you install GSKit.

    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    5. Because different versions of Tivoli Directory Server clients and server instances can coexist on the same system, no links are set for client and server utilities. If you want to set links, use the idslink command after installation. See the IBM® Tivoli Directory Server version 6.3 Command Reference for information about the command.

    This window also indicates the amount of disk space required and available on the selected drive.

    Be sure the components you want to install are selected, and click Next.

  10. If you selected Server 6.3 but not DB2 and there are multiple supported versions of DB2 on the system, you are asked to select the version of DB2 you want to use with Tivoli Directory Server 6.3.
  11. The Web Administration Tool 6.3 application require a Web application server. If you selected Web Administration Tool 6.3 but you did not select Embedded WebSphere Application Server, a window is displayed for the application you selected asking you to specify a Web application server into which to deploy the application. You can do one of the following:
  12. The installation program now has enough information to begin installing. A summary window displays the components you selected and the locations where the selected components will be installed. Click Back to change any of your selections. Click Install to begin installation.
    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. Click Finish.
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.

If you installed a server, the Instance Administration Tool automatically starts so that you can create a directory server instance and complete configuration. Before you can use the server, you must:

To create a directory server instance, use the instructions in Creating a directory server instance. You can set the administrator DN and password and configure the database during the instance creation process.

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 IBM Tivoli Directory Server version 6.3 Problem Determination Guide for information about recovering from these errors.
