Preface

Welcome to the Managing Servers with Red Hat Console Guide.

Red Hat Directory Server and Administration Server have a special Java-based console which

simplifies administering the directories. This guide covers the basic structure of the Red Hat Console

for both the Directory Server and the Administration Server and provides an overview of how to use

the main Red Hat Console to manage users and access within the Console.

1. Purpose of This Guide

There are three Java consoles bundled together to manage the servers in Red Hat Directory Server:

• The Red Hat Console, which is the first console to open. This has a unified view of all Administration

Server and Directory Server instances being managed and can perform basic user and group tasks,

like adding, searching, editing, and deleting entries.

• The Administration Server, which manages the Administration Server local instance, including

viewing logs and changing the Administration Server configuration.

• The Directory Server Console, a separate window for each Directory Server instance with manages

the server through changing configuration and viewing logs and performance monitors and

manages the directory and directory policies.

This guide provides a basic overview of how to use and navigate through Red Hat Console so that

managing servers through the consoles is easy and effective.

2. Examples and Formatting

Each of the examples used in this guide, such as file locations and commands, have certain defined

conventions.

2.1. Command and File Examples

All of the examples for Red Hat Directory Server commands, file locations, and other usage are given

for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (32-bit) systems. Be certain to use the appropriate commands and files

for your platform.

To start the Red Hat Directory Server:

service dirsv start

Example 1. Example Command

2.2. Tool Locations

The tools for Red Hat Directory Server are located in the /usr/bin and the /usr/sbin directories.

These tools can be run from any location without specifying the tool location.

2.3. LDAP Locations

There is another important consideration with the Red Hat Directory Server tools. The LDAP tools

referenced in this guide are Mozilla LDAP, installed with Red Hat Directory Server in the /usr/lib/

Preface

mozldap directory on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (32-bit) (or /usr/lib64/mozldap for 64-bit

systems).

However, Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems also include LDAP tools from OpenLDAP in the /usr/

bin directory. It is possible to use the OpenLDAP commands as shown in the examples, but you must

use the -x argument to disable SASL, which OpenLDAP tools use by default.

2.4. Text Formatting and Styles

Certain words are represented in different fonts, styles, and weights. Different character formatting is

used to indicate the function or purpose of the phrase being highlighted.

Formatting Style Purpose

Monospace font Monospace is used for commands, package

names, files and directory paths, and any text

displayed in a prompt.

Monospace

with a

background

This type of formatting is used for anything

entered or returned in a command prompt.

Italicized text Any text which is italicized is a variable, such

as instance_name or hostname. Occasionally,

this is also used to emphasize a new term or

other phrase.

Bolded text Most phrases which are in bold are application

names, such as Cygwin, or are fields or

options in a user interface, such as a User

Name Here: field or Save button.

Other formatting styles draw attention to important text.

NOTE

A note provides additional information that can help illustrate the behavior of the system or

provide more detail for a specific issue.

IMPORTANT

Important information is necessary, but possibly unexpected, such as a configuration

change that will not persist after a reboot.

WARNING

A warning indicates potential data loss, as may happen when tuning hardware for

maximum performance.

3. Additional Reading

The Directory Server Administrator's Guide describes how to set up, configure, and administer Red

Hat Directory Server and its contents. this manual does not describe many of the basic directory and

architectural concepts that you need to deploy, install, and administer a directory service successfully.

Those concepts are contained in the Red Hat Directory Server Deployment Guide. You should read

that book before continuing with this manual.

When you are familiar with Directory Server concepts and have done some preliminary planning for

your directory service, install the Directory Server. The instructions for installing the various Directory

Server components are contained in the Red Hat Directory Server Installation Guide. Many of the

scripts and commands used to install and administer the Directory Server are explained in detail in the

Red Hat Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference.

Also, Managing Servers with Red Hat Console contains general background information on how to

use the Red Hat Console. You should read and understand the concepts in that book before you

attempt to administer Directory Server.

The document set for Directory Server contains the following guides:

•Red Hat Directory Server Release Notes contain important information on new features, fixed bugs,

known issues and workarounds, and other important deployment information for this specific version

of Directory Server.

•Red Hat Directory Server Deployment Guide provides an overview for planning a deployment of the

Directory Server.

•Red Hat Directory Server Administrator's Guide contains procedures for the day-to-day maintenance

of the directory service. Includes information on configuring server-side plug-ins.

•Red Hat Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference provides reference

information on the command-line scripts, configuration attributes, and log files shipped with

Directory Server.

•Red Hat Directory Server Installation Guide contains procedures for installing your Directory Server

as well as procedures for migrating from a previous installation of Directory Server.

•Red Hat Directory Server Schema Reference provides reference information about the Directory

Server schema.

•Red Hat Directory Server Plug-in Programmer's Guide describes how to write server plug-ins in

order to customize and extend the capabilities of Directory Server.

•Using Red Hat Console gives an overview of the primary user interface and how it interacts with

the Directory Server and Administration Server, as well as how to perform basic management tasks

through the main Console window.

•Using the Admin Server describes the different tasks and tools associated with the Administration

Server and how to use the Administration Server with the Configuration and User Directory Server

instances.

4. Giving Feedback

If there is any error in this Managing Servers with Red Hat Console or there is any way to improve

the documentation, please let us know. Bugs can be filed against the documentation for Red Hat

Directory Server through Bugzilla, http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla. Make the bug report as specific

as possible, so we can be more effective in correcting any issues:

• Select the Red Hat Directory Server product.

• Set the component to Doc - managing-servers.

• Set the version number to 8.1.

• For errors, give the page number (for the PDF) or URL (for the HTML), and give a succinct

description of the problem, such as incorrect procedure or typo.

For enhancements, put in what information needs to be added and why.

• Give a clear title for the bug. For example, "Incorrect command example for setup

script options" is better than "Bad example".

We appreciate receiving any feedback — requests for new sections, corrections, improvements,

enhancements, even new ways of delivering the documentation or new styles of docs. You are

Revision 8.1.0 April 28, 2009 Ella Deon Lackey [email protected]

Initial draft for version 8.1.

Chapter 1.

Overview of Red Hat Console

Red Hat Console is the user interface to manage Red Hat Directory Server and Administration Server

configuration and directory information. There is a single main Console window which administers the

servers (collected and identified in administration domains). The main Console allows you to open

server-specific Consoles to manage the settings and information in individual instances.

This chapter provides an overview of how the Console interacts with the Directory Server and

Administration Server and walks through the Console windows and options.

1.1. How the Console, Directory Server, and Administration

Server Work Together

The Red Hat Console is an independent Java application which works in conjunction with instances of

Red Hat Directory Server and Administration Server. Most server management functions are carried

out in server-specific console windows for the Directory Server and Administration Server. Red Hat

Console is part of a system that manages Red Hat Directory Server instances and the Administration

Server and, therefore, information in the directory. Although Red Hat Directory Server, Red Hat

Console, and Red Hat Administration Server work tightly with one another, each plays a specific role in

managing servers, applications, and users.

Red Hat Console is the front-end management application for Red Hat Directory Server. It finds

all servers and applications registered in the configuration directory, displays them in a graphical

interface, and can manage and configure them. The Main Console can also search for, create, and

edit user and group entries in the user directory.

Figure 1.1. The Red Hat Console Interface

Chapter 1. Overview of Red Hat Console

When a user logs into Red Hat Console, the Console connects to the Administration Server over

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The Administration Server receives requests to administer the

different Directory Server instances and performs the changes to the configuration, such as changing

a port number. When a request is sent to the Red Hat Console to add or edit user entries, the Console

sends a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) message directly to Directory Server to update

the user directory.

Figure 1.2. Simple System Using Red Hat Console

Red Hat Directory Server stores server and application configuration settings as well as user

information. Typically, application and server configuration information is stored in one subtree

of Red Hat Directory Server while user and group entries are stored in another subtree. With a

large enterprise, however, configuration and user information can be stored in separate instances

of Directory Server (which can be on the same host machine or on two different host machines).

Figure 1.2, “Simple System Using Red Hat Console” illustrates a relatively simple Red Hat Directory

Server system. As an enterprise grows and needs change, additional hosts and Directory and Admin
