7.4 .15. register-ds-admin.pl
The register-ds-admin.pl script can be used for two things:
Registering an existing Directory Server instance with a different Administration Server or
Configuration Directory Server.
Creating a new, local Administration Server when only a Directory Server was installed previously.
IMPORTANT
The register-ds-admin.pl script does not support external LDAP URLs, so the Directory
Server instance must be registered against a local Administration Server.
Syntax
register-ds-adm in.pl.pl [ --debug ] [ --log=name ]
Options
Option Alternate Options Description
--debug -d[dddd] This parameter turns on
debugging information. For the -
d flag, increasing the number of
d's increases the debug level.
--logfile name -l This parameter specifies a log
file to which to write the output. If
this is not set, then the setup
information is written to a
temporary file. To not use a log
file, set the file name to
/dev/null.
7.4 .16. remove-ds.pl
The remove-ds.pl script removes a single instance of Directory Server. The server instance usually
must be running when this script is run so that the script can bind to the instance. It is also possible to
force the script to run, which may be necessary if there was an interrupted installation process or the
instance is corrupted or broken so that it cannot run.
When the instance is removed, it is shutdown and all of its configuration files are removed. Certificate
