From Fedora Directory Server

Below you will find links to download the binary packages and source files. Please see the FAQ section on Open Source for more information.

Binary Packages

Fedora Directory Server 1.1

• yum is used to install on platforms that use yum for package installation and management.
• If you are already using fedora-ds-base from Fedora, you must first upgrade it

rpm -qi fedora-ds-base

If that returns an error, skip to the next bullet, otherwise

yum upgrade fedora-ds-base

• Binary packages are provided only for Fedora 6, 7, 8 and 9 - The Fedora 6 packages should run on Red Hat EL5.1 (not 5.0). For EL 5.1 you'll need to follow these instructions
• Set up your Fedora DS yum repo - as root

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget http://directory.fedoraproject.org/sources/idmcommon.repo
wget http://directory.fedoraproject.org/sources/dirsrv.repo

• Install

yum install fedora-ds

This will install many dependencies too. NOTE: On Fedora 8 and later, the IcedTea Java can run the console. On Fedora 7 and earlier, you will still need to install a proprietary JRE in order to run - see Install_Guide for information about how to install Java.

Enterprise Linux 5

There are currently (July 1, 2008) no binary packages for EL5 (e.g. RHEL5, CentOS5 and derivatives). However, with a little hoop jumping, you can use packages from Fedora Core 6.

• Step 1 - Upgrade to 5.1 or later and install the packages svrcore mozldap perl-Mozilla-LDAP libicu

yum install svrcore mozldap perl-Mozilla-LDAP libicu

• Step 2 - If you want to use the console, yum install ldapjdk - or get it from jpackage.org
• Step 3 - Set up system to install Fedora Core 6 packages - GPG keys first:

rpm --import http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
rpm --import http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/extras/RPM-GPG-KEY-Fedora-Extras

NOTE: Many of the packages are now signed by a personal key - this key will need to be imported into RPM - the key is available here - http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA7B02652

• Step 4 - Install adminutil and jss from FC6

rpm -ivh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/adminutil-1.1.5-1.fc6.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/jss-4.2.5-1.fc6.i386.rpm

For 64-bit, just replace i386 above with x86_64

• Step 5 - Set up your yum repos for idmcommon and dirsrv as listed above
• Step 6 - Edit the idmcommon.repo and dirsrv.repo files - replace $releasever with 6 - otherwise it will attempt to use "5" as the release version
• Step 7 - yum install fedora-ds - as above
• Step 8 - run the /usr/sbin/setup-ds-admin.pl script. This is where all of the information about the new Directory Server instance is supplied. The "typical setup" is the most commonly-used setup process, it offers control over the ports for the Directory and Administration Servers, the domain name, and directory suffix. For the step by step example:

• Step 9 (for Red Hat Enterprise Linux customers) - A Java JRE is required in order to use the Console, install the RPM package from the supplemental channel
  • Enable the channel from the RHN -> Channels -> Red Hat Supplementary Server 5 -> Subscribe
  • yum install java-1.5.0-ibm or download the rpm from the channel and do rpm -Uvh java-1.5.0-ibm
• Step 10 - Start the console to log in - NOTE: Java 1.5 and possibly some earlier versions have a problem with window order/focus. This means that when you run fedora-idm-console, you will see only the splash screen and not the login dialog. If this occurs, please use

fedora-idm-console -x nologo ... other args ...

Windows Console for Fedora DS 1.1

Tested with Sun Java 1.4 and 1.5 on Windows 2003 Server.

NOTE: You must have Java in your PATH in order for this to work. Or you can just edit the batch file to tell it where to find Java. NOTE: This might work with Fedora DS 1.0.4 and earlier, but it has not been tested with that release.
