Installing the first server

About this task

The setup command automatically chooses the maximum heap size. You can manually tune the maximum amount of memory devoted to the server’s process heap using the --maxHeapSize option. The --maxHeapSize option is only valid if the --entryBalancing option is also present.

If you are using entry balancing, tune the amount of memory devoted to the PingDirectoryProxy server using the --entryBalancing option as follows.

--entryBalancing --maxHeapSize 1g

The amount of memory allowed when using the --entryBalancing option is calculated and depends on the amount of system memory available.

If you already configured a truststore, you can run the setup command to enable security. The following example enables both SSL and StartTLS security. It also specifies a Java Keystore (JKS) and Truststore that define the server certificate and trusted CA. The passwords for the keystore files are defined in the corresponding .pin files, where the password is written on the first line of the file. The values in the .pin files are copied to the <server-root>/config directory in the keystore.pin file.

$ env JAVA_HOME=/ds/java ./setup \
   --no-prompt --rootUserDN "cn=Directory Manager" \
   --rootUserPassword "password" --ldapPort 389 \
   --enableStartTLS --ldapsPort 636 \
   --useJavaKeystore /path/to/devkeystore.jks \
   --keyStorePasswordFile /path/to/devkeystore.pin \
   --certNickName server-cert \
   --useJavaTrustStore /path/to/devtruststore.jks \
   --trustStorePasswordFile /path/to/devtruststore.pin \
   --acceptLicense

The password to the private key within the keystore is expected to be the same as the password to the keystore. If this is not the case, you can define the private key password within the administrative console or using the dsconfig command by editing the Trust Manager Provider standard configuration object.

Steps

Run the setup command with the --no-prompt option.

The command uses the default root user distinguished name (DN) (cn=Directory Manager) with the specified --rootUserPassword option. You must include the --acceptLicense, --instanceName, and --location options or the setup command will generate an error message.
```
$ env JAVA_HOME=/ds/java ./setup --no-prompt \
--rootUserDN "cn=Directory Manager" \
--rootUserPassword "password" --ldapPort 389 \
--acceptLicense \
--instanceName ds1 --location Denver
```
