Configuring Tivoli Directory Server V6.3

You can bring up the instance administration tool, also known as the Tivoli Directory Server Configuration Tool, to manage LDAP suffixes and perform LDIF-related tasks.

In the Tivoli Directory Server Configuration Tool, click Manage suffixes.
1. In the Suffix DN field, enter dc=ibm,dc=com and click Add.
2. Click OK.
3. If the server is already running, you are asked to stop the server. Click Yes.
Expand LDIF tasks. Click Import LDIF data.
1. Click the Browse button and find the ldif file to import.
2. If you import the provided sample WLEUsers.ldif file, the message says 22 entries were successfully imported.
3. Click OK.
Figure 7 shows a view of the imported LDAP tree. Notice that all of the default Lombardi Edition users, groups, and others exist under DN: dc=ibm,dc=com.
