7.3. Starting the Directory Server Console

7.3. Starting the Directory Server Console

There is a simple script to launch the Directory Server Console. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Solaris, run the following: 

/usr/bin/redhat-idm-console

HP-UX has a different location for the script: 

/opt/dirsrv/bin/redhat-idm-console

NOTE

Make sure that the correct JRE — the program called java — is set in the PATH before launching the Console.

When the login screen opens, you are prompted for the username, password, and Administration Server location. It is possible to send the Administration Server URL and port with the start script. For example: 

/usr/bin/redhat-idm-console -a http://localhost:9830

The a option is a convenience, particularly if you are logging into a Directory Server for the first time. On subsequent logins, the URL is saved. If you do not pass the Administration Server port number with the redhat-idm-console command, then you are prompted for it at the Console login screen.
