Solaris(TM) Extensions for Netscape Directory Server 4.11
Installation Instructions

This document contains installation instructions for Solaris
Extensions for Netscape Directory Server 4.11.

For Release Notes, including information on pre-requisite software, hardware, 
and patches, refer to the README.Extensions file.


Product Contents
================

The Solaris Extensions for Netscape Directory Server product contains
the following packages:

SUNWdsnis	NIS synchronization tools
SUNWdsrad	RADIUS server and PAM module
SUNWdsutl	Administration utilities

The product also offers an automatic startup script, S72ns-slapd,
that automatically starts the directory server when the host machine
is rebooted.


Installing the Software
=======================

These instructions assume that you are already familiar with installing
software products on machines running the Solaris operating environment.
You can install the product packages from CD-ROM, or from the location
to which you downloaded them.

NOTE: Netscape Directory Server 4.11 must be installed and running on the
machine on which you install the Solaris Extensions for Netscape Directory
Server.

To install Solaris Extensions for Netscape Directory Server:

1- Insert the CD-ROM into the CD drive of your machine, or download the
   software from the Solaris Extensions for Netscape Directory Server 4.11
   web site.

2- Log in as root or become superuser.

3- Change directory to /cdrom/<mountpoint> or to the directory to which you
   downloaded the software.
   
4- Start the pkgadd utility:

   # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d .
   
   A list of installable packages is displayed.
   
5- Type in the numbers corresponding to the packages that you want
   to install.
   
   If you want to use the NIS synchronization service, and the RADIUS
   server, install all packages. If you want to use the NIS synchronization
   service alone, install SUNWdsnis and SUNWdsutl. If you want to use
   the RADIUS server alone, install SUNWdsrad and SUNWdsutl.
   
6- If you want the directory server daemon, ns-slapd, to be automatically
   restarted whenever the machine is rebooted, copy the S72ns-slapd
   script from the /DS/Samples directory on the CD to the /etc/rc2.d directory.
   For consistency with all other scripts, you can create a link from
   /etc/rc2.d to /etc/init.d/ns-slapd.
   
   If you have not installed the Netscape Directory Server under the
   default installation directory (/usr/netscape/server4), you must
   edit the S72ns-slapd script to modify the BASEDIR variable to point
   to the actual installation directory.

Note: The NIS synchronization service and the RADIUS server cannot operate
      if the ns-slapd daemon is not running.
   
For instructions on initializing the NIS synchronization service, refer
to the NIS Extension Guide. It is available on the CD in pdf format at:
/DS/Solaris_Extension/Doc/NIS.pdf.

For instructions on initializing the RADIUS server, refer to the RADIUS
Extension Guide. It is available on the CD in pdf format at:
/DS/Solaris_Extension/Doc/radius.pdf.
