When you create a directory server instance, a user ID on the operating system must exist for the directory server instance owner. For a full directory server, there must also be user IDs on the operating system for the owners of the database instance and the database. You can use the same user ID for all three roles; if you do this, the directory server instance, the database instance, and the database owner all have the same name.
If you use the Instance Administration Tool to create a directory server instance, you can create the directory server instance owner user ID through the tool. If you use the command line to create the directory server instance, you can use the idsadduser command to create the directory server instance owner user ID. This command creates a user ID that meets all requirements.
Use the following information to understand the directory server instance owner, database instance owner, and database owner roles before you create the user ID or IDs.
The roles are defined as follows:
On Windows systems, a member of the Administrators group also has the authority to manage the directory server instance.
On AIX®, Linux, and Solaris systems, the primary group of the directory server instance owner also has the authority to manage the directory server instance.
