Table 7.31. ns-newpwpolicy.pl Options

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

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.
