Default configuration for Directory Server

 

The Directory Server is automatically installed when you install i5/OS^®. This installation includes a default configuration. The Directory Server uses the default configuration when all of the following are true:

• Administrators have not run the Directory Server Configuration Wizard or changed directory settings with the properties pages.

• Directory Server publishing is not configured.

• The Directory Server cannot find any LDAP DNS information.

If the Directory Server uses the default configuration, then the following occur:

• The Directory Server automatically starts when TCP/IP starts.

• The system creates a default administrator, cn=Administrator. It also generates a password that is used internally. If use an administrator password later, you can set a new one from the Directory Server property page.

• A default suffix is created that is based on the system's IP name. A system objects' suffix is also created based on the system name. For example, if your system's IP name is mary.acme.com, the suffix is dc=mary,dc=acme,dc=com.

• The Directory Server uses the default data library QUSRDIRDB. The system creates it in the system ASP.

• The server uses port 389 for non-secure communications. If a digital certificate has been configured for LDAP, secure sockets layer (SSL) is enabled and port 636 is used for secure communications.
