PingDirectory

Installing the PingDirectory server with no security enabled

You can install a PingDirectory server in non-interactive mode in a production or QA environment with no security enabled.

Steps

  • Extract the distribution .zip file and, from the server root directory, run the setup command with the --no-prompt option for non-interactive mode.

    The following example command uses the default root user distinguished name (cn=Directory Manager) with the specified --rootUserPassword option. You must include the --acceptLicense option or the setup generates an error message. The --instancename option specifies the name for the server instance and should be unique across all instances in the topology. The --location option specifies the name of the location in which the instance will be installed. You should generally configure your topology with a separate location for each data center to allow inter-server communication to prioritize servers in the same location over those in remote locations.

    Example:

    $ ./setup --no-prompt --rootUserPassword "password" \
      --baseDN "dc=example,dc=com" --acceptLicense --ldapPort 389 \
      --instancename Instance1 --location Location1
