2. Example and Default References
There are differences between the command, directory, and file locations in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Sun Solaris, and HP-UX Directory Server installations. Locations for other platforms are listed in Section 1.1, “Directory Server File Locations”. These differences impact the documentation in two ways:
The file locations used in the examples or referenced in the procedures are the default locations on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The default commands used in the examples are also the default commands on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
There is another important consideration with the Directory Server tools. The LDAP tools referenced in this guide are Mozilla LDAP, installed with Directory Server in the /usr/dir/mozldap
directory on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (directories for other platforms are listed in Chapter 1, General Red Hat Directory Server Usage).
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.
