Fedora directory users - Nov 2006 - Unattended Admin Server Startup

I''m testing a new installation of Directory Server.  I have both 
the directory server and the admin server using SSL.  There are instructions 
for auto-starting the SSL-enabled directory server at boot time by putting 
the SSL password in a text file, and this works fine.  But I can''t seem
to
find any instructions for doing the same with the admin server, so the boot 
process stops at the password prompt for the admin server.  Anyone have a 
clue how to get this done? 

The message prompt when the admin server tries to start is: 

"Please enter password for "NSS Certificate DB" token:" 

Thanks.   -G.

What version of FDS are you using? There is a similar way to set up 
admin server with a password file but the name of the token here looks 
wrong.

To do it for the admin server look in 
/opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/config/nss.conf

There will be an entry for NSSPassPhraseDialog.

It should have the form:

NSSPassPhraseDialog file:/opt/fedora-ds/alias/password.conf

So /opt/fedora-ds/alias/password.conf holds the token password.

The format of the file is: token_name:password

The default token name is "internal".
