RE: [Fedora-directory-users] Configuration Directory Question
Thanks for the swift response - size depends on the success of the project - am tempted to go with external config directory assuming I can get it working...I tried to the procedure I listed below i.e. installed the RPM, ran setup to create a ''dsconfig'' instance on port 5555.Then I created a master.inf file for inputing into the ds_newinst.pl script:[General]FullMachineName= server1.jamesd.comSuiteSpotUserID= ldapServerRoot= /opt/fedora-dsConfigDirectoryAdminID= adminConfigDirectoryAdminPwd= blahConfigDirectoryLdapURL= ldap://server1.jamesd.com:5555/o=NetscapeRootAdminDomain= jamesd.com[slapd]ServerPort= 389ServerIdentifier= master01Suffix= dc=jamesd,dc=comRootDN= cn=Directory ManagerRootDNPwd= blahUserExistingMC=1When I ran that it seemed to work - instance called master01 was created and is running.When running the console though, it''s not listed - only the Administration Server and ''dsconfig'' Directory Server instance. How can I make the master01 instance appear in the admin console and also verify that master01 is using dsconfig to stores is configuration data?Thanks again> Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 09:33:37 -0600> From: rmeggins@redhat.com> To: fedora-directory-users@redhat.com> Subject: Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Configuration Directory Question> > James Deuchar wrote:> > Hi,> >> > I''ve got a what I thought was a relatively simple DS setup with two > > master DS servers doing master-master replication.
