Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX Version 6.10 Administration Guide (5900-1418, March 2011)

Installing and Running the LDAP Browser
To install the LDAP Browser on a system, ensure that the Internet Express OpenLDAP subset is
installed. Then, follow these steps:
1. From the Internet Express Administration utility Main menu, choose Manage Components.
2. From Directory Services, choose Download LDAP Browser.
The Download the LDAP Browser form is displayed.
3. Right-click on the ldapbrowser.jar link to bring up the browser menu, and then save the
file to a directory on your system.
4. If the client system is running Tru64 UNIX, repeat the same process for the ldapbrowser
startup script link, and set the permissions of the resulting file to be executable.
As an alternative to downloading these two files through a Web browser, you can use a mechanism
like FTP to download them directly; they can be found in the /usr/internet/openldap/admin
directory on the system where Internet Express is installed.
