Default installation locations
If you run IBM® Installation Manager for installation, IBM Security Directory Server and its corequisite software is installed in the predefined installation location.
| Operating system | IBM Security Directory Server | DB2 | IBM SDK Java Technology Edition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Linux® | /opt/ibm/ldap/V6.4 | /opt/ibm/sdsV6.4db2 | /opt/ibm/ldap/V6.4/java |
| AIX® | /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.4 | /opt/IBM/sdsV6.4db2 | /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.4/java |
| Microsoft Windows | C:\Program Files\IBM\ldap\V6.4 | C:\Program Files\IBM\sdsV6.4db2 | C:\Program Files\IBM\ldap\V6.4\java |
IBM Security Directory Server can be installed only at the predefined location on the AIX and Linux systems. The path is specified by default in the Installation Directory field in IBM Installation Manager. Though this field is editable in IBM Installation Manager, if you change the path that is specified by default, you cannot click Next to proceed with the installation. You must revert to the default installation path for IBM Security Directory Server.
This restriction does not apply to Microsoft Windows operating systems. IBM Security Directory
Server can
be installed at any custom location on Microsoft Windows operating
systems. Even if you select a custom installation location for IBM Security Directory
Server,
the idsinstinfo directory and the idsinstances.ldif file
that it contains are always created on the partition that is specified
by
%SystemDrive%. If IBM Security Directory
Server is
installed on the E: drive and the operating system
is on the C: drive, you might observe the following
changes:- The idsinstinfo directory is created in the
C:drive (C:\idsinstinfo), instead of in the E:\Program Files\IBM\ldap directory.
