Installing the Red Hat Directory Server

Red Hat Directory Server should be installed on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 with a graphical user interface (GUI) in order to use the Java Swing GUI Directory and Administration consoles. However, Red Hat Directory Server can still be serviced exclusively from the command line interface (CLI).

Prerequisites

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is installed on the server.

  • The Directory Server node’s FQDN is resolvable using DNS or the /etc/hosts file.

  • Register the Directory Server node to the Red Hat subscription management service.

  • A valid Red Hat Directory Server subscription is available in your Red Hat account.
