Installing OpenDJ From the Command LineThis chapter covers command-line installation with additional
information on setup options.To Prepare For InstallationMake sure you have the correct Java environment installed, as
described in the Release Notes section on Java
Environment requirements.If your default Java environment is not appropriate, set
OPENDJ_JAVA_HOME to the path to the correct Java
environment, or set OPENDJ_JAVA_BIN to the absolute path
of the java command. The latter environment variable is
useful for example if you have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Java
environment installed, and want to make sure you use the 64-bit
version.Downloading OpenDJThe following server software is available.OpenDJ-.zipCross-platform OpenDJ directory server installation filesopendj_-1_all.debOpenDJ directory server native package for Debian and related
Linux distributions.opendj--1.noarch.rpmOpenDJ directory server native package for Red Hat and related
Linux distributions.OpenDJ--DSML.warCross-platform OpenDJ DSML gateway web archiveopendj-rest2ldap-servlet--servlet.warCross-platform OpenDJ REST LDAP gateway web archiveDSML gatewayIf you plan to install OpenDJ DSML gateway or OpenDJ REST LDAP gateway,
make sure you have an appropriate application server installed.If you plan to configure SSL or TLS to secure network
communications between the server and client applications, get a
properly signed digital certificate that your client applications
recognize, such as one that fits with your organization's PKI or one
provided by a recognized certificate authority.To use the certificate during installation, the certificate
must be located in a key store provided with Java (JKS, JCEKS, PKCS#12),
or on a PKCS#11 token. To import a signed certificate into a key store,
you can use the Java keytool command.See Preparing For
Secure Communications in the Administration
Guide for examples.To Install OpenDJ Directory ServerCommand-line installationUnzip OpenDJ-.zip
in the file system directory where you want to install the server.Unlike the web-based Quick Setup install, the setup
command uses the directory where you unzipped the files as the installation
directory, and does not ask you where to install OpenDJ. Therefore, if you
want to install elsewhere on the file system, unzip the files in that
location.Run the setup --cli command found in the
opendj directory.This command starts the setup program in interactive mode on the
command line, prompting you for each option. Alternatively, use
additional setup options to specify
values for the options you choose during interactive mode, thus
scripting the installation process. See setup --help
and the notes below.Silent installationTo perform a non-interactive, silent installation, provide all
the options to configure OpenDJ, and then also use the -n
or --no-prompt option.The setup command without the
--cli option runs the Quick Start
GUI installer with your local version of software, as does
Java WebStart with a remote version of the software.$ /path/to/opendj/setup --cli

Configuring Directory Server ..... Done.
Importing LDIF file /path/to/Example.ldif ........... Done.
Starting Directory Server ........... Done.
To see basic server configuration status and configuration you can launch \
/path/to/opendj/bin/statusSome notes on the options follow.Initial root user DNThe root user Distinguished Name identifies a
user who can perform all administrative and other operations
allowed for the server, called root user due to the similarity
to the UNIX root. The default, cn=Directory Manager,
is a well-known name. If you have reason to be paranoid, you might
opt for a different name.Initial root user passwordThe root user will use simple, password-based authentication.
Later you can limit clear text access to avoid snooping, but for
now use a strong password here unless this is a throwaway server.Fully-qualified directory server host nameOpenDJ uses fully-qualified host name in self-signed certificates
and for identification when you use replication. If you are installing
a single server temporarily for evaluation, and are not concerned about
replication and whether self-signed certificates can be trusted, then
you can use an FQDN such as localhost.localdomain.
Otherwise, use an FQDN that other hosts can resolve to reach your
server.LDAP portThe default for LDAP is 389. If you are working as a user
who cannot open port 389, setup suggests 1389 by default.Administration portThis is the service entrance used to configure the server,
run tasks, and so forth. The default is 4444.Create base DNsYou need a base Distinguished Name, such as
dc=example,dc=com, to add directory data. If you
already have LDIF, the base DN you want is the distinguished name
suffix common to all entries in your LDIF. You can provide more than
one base DN if your data belongs in more than one suffix.Import LDIFLDAP data interchange format is the standard text format for
expressing LDAP data. If you have LDIF already, one reason you might
not want to import the data at the same time you install is because
your data uses attributes not defined in the default schema, and so
you will wait to add schema definitions before you import.If you have a huge data set to import, you no doubt should
also increase the import cache size, which you can do by passing
a Java properties file. You might also prefer to perform data
import offline.Enable SSL and TLSEnabling Secure Sockets Layer or Transport Layer Security lets
you protect the network traffic between directory clients and your
server.SSLSSL requires its own, separate port for LDAPS traffic. The
default port for LDAPS is 636. If you are working as a user
who cannot open port 636, setup suggests 1636 by default.TLSTLS lets you use StartTLS to negotiate a secure connection
between a client and server, starting from the same server port
you configured for LDAP.X.509 certificatesThe digital certificate you need for SSL and TLS can be
self-signed and created on the fly. Trouble is, client
applications view self-signed certificates like fake IDs, and
so do not trust them. Self-signed certificates facilitate testing,
but are not intended for production use.Start the serverIf you do not start the server during installation, you can use
the /path/to/opendj/bin/start-ds command later.Run the status command to make sure your OpenDJ
server is working as expected.$ /path/to/opendj/bin/status

To see basic server configuration status and configuration you can launch
/path/to/opendj/bin/statusAt this point you can use OpenDJ directory server, or you can perform
additional configuration.To Install OpenDJ REST LDAP GatewayREST LDAP gatewayThe OpenDJ REST LDAP gateway functions as a web application in a web
application container, running independently of OpenDJ. Alternatively,
you can use the HTTP connection handler in OpenDJ directory server. See the
procedure, To Set Up REST
Access to OpenDJ Directory Server, for instructions.You configure the gateway to access your directory service by editing
opendj-rest2ldap-servlet.json where you deploy the
gateway web application.Deploy
opendj-rest2ldap-servlet--servlet.war
according to the instructions for your application server.Edit opendj-rest2ldap-servlet.json where you
deployed the gateway web application.The default JSON resource for the configuration includes both
connection and authentication information, and also
mappings. The mappings describe how
the gateway translates between JSON and LDAP representations of your
data. The default mappings are built to work with
generated example data and also the sample content in Example.ldif.At minimum, make sure that the host name and port numbers for
primaryLDAPServers are properly configured, that
authentication reflects the correct simple bind
credentials, and that the mappings for the endpoints
correctly match your directory data.For details on the configuration, see REST LDAP
Configuration.When connecting to directory servers over LDAPS or LDAP and StartTLS,
you can configure the trust manager to use a file-based trust store for
server certificates that the gateway should trust. This allows the gateway to
validate server certificates signed for example by a Certificate Authority
not recognized by the Java environment when setting up LDAPS or StartTLS
connections. See Preparing For
Secure Communications for an example showing how to use
the keytool command to support a server certificate into
a trust store file.Restart the REST LDAP gateway or the application server to make
sure the changes are taken into account.Make sure that your directory server is running, and then check that
the gateway is connecting correctly.The following command reads Babs Jensen's entry through the gateway
to the backend holding data from Example.ldif.$ curl http://bjensen:hifalutin@opendj.example.com:8080/rest2ldap/users/bjensen

web application container. The DSML gateway runs independently of OpenDJ
directory server. You configure the gateway to access your directory service
by editing the ldap.host and ldap.port
parameters in the WEB-INF/web.xml configuration
file.Deploy OpenDJ--DSML.war
according to the instructions for your application server.Edit WEB-INF/web.xml to ensure the values for
ldap.host and ldap.port are
correct.Restart the web application container according to the instructions
for your application server.
