More about Directory Server and OpenDS Margin Notes

Update: Seems I'm late to the party. Ludo already wrote about installing DSCC in GlassFish.

Directory Service Control Center gives you a customizable, browser based interface to update entries in your directory. This entry shows you how to set up Directory Editor on GlassFish V2. (The build I got was 58c.) Before you start you should already have downloaded and set up GlassFish as described in the Quick Start Guide.

1. 

   Get Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) with Directory Server Enterprise Edition. Install Directory Server Enterprise Edition from the zip distribution using dsee_deploy. To summarize, here is a dsee_deploy installation.

   $ ./dsee_deploy install -c all -i /local

2. Set up the DSCC Registry, which is a directory where DSCC stores configuration information.

   $ /local/dscc6/bin/dsccsetup ads-create
   Choose password for Directory Service Manager:  
   Confirm password for Directory Service Manager:
   Creating DSCC registry...
   DSCC Registry has been created successfully
   

   Remember the password you use for Directory Service Manager, as you need it to log in later.

   Also make sure the common agent container is started so DSCC can create new servers and manage registered servers.

   $ /local/dsee6/cacao_2/usr/sbin/cacaoadm status
   default instance is DISABLED at system startup.
   Current retries count : 0/4
   Processes:
   5692
   Uptime: 0 day(s), 0:1

3. Edit the glassfish/domains/domain1/config/server.policy file to run DSCC in the first GlassFish instance you created, adding the following policy:

   grant codeBase "file:${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/applications/j2ee-modules/dscc/-" {
           permission java.security.AllPermission;
   };

4. Restart the GlassFish instance to take into account the policy change.

   /export/glassfish/domains/domain1/bin $ ./stopserv
   Server was successfully stopped.
   /export/glassfish/domains/domain1/bin $ ./startserv
   admin username:admin
   admin password:
   master password:
   Redirecting output to /export/glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/server.log

5. Deploy DSCC using the GlassFish console.

   You will find var/dscc6/dscc.war where you installed Directory Server Enterprise Edition. If you installed GlassFish and DSCC on the same system, you can use the Local packaged file or directory that is accessible from the Application Server option to upload dscc.war.

   

Once DSCC is deployed, you can login at http://hostname:8080/dscc using the Directory Service Manager password you entered when creating the DSCC Registry.

After you login, you land on the DSCC home page.
