Using the Wizard to Provision the DSfW Server

  1. After DSfW installation is done, launch the Provisioning Wizard by executing the following script at the command prompt:

    /opt/novell/xad/sbin/provision_dsfw.sh

    This opens the login dialog box.

  2. Enter the authentication details in the login dialog box, depending on the scenario in which you are provisioning.

    Provisioning Scenario

    Authentication Details Required

    Non-name-mapped, forest root domain

    The current domain credentials.

    Name-mapped, forest root domain

    The current domain credentials and the tree admin credentials.

    Non-name-mapped child

    The current domain credentials, the parent domain credentials, and the tree/container admin credentials.

    Name-mapped child

    The current domain credentials, the parent domain credentials, and the tree/container admin credentials.

    Additional Domain Controller

    The current domain credentials.

    IMPORTANT:If you are installing a first-level child domain in a non-name-mapped scenario, the tree admin and the parent domain credentials are the same.

  3. To customize provisioning, select the Enable Custom Provisioning check box and click OK. Then continue with Step 4.

    or

    If you don’t want to customize provisioning, leave the Enable Custom Provisioning check box deselected. Click OK, then follow the on-screen prompts to configure DSfW and the supporting services to complete the installation process and make the DSfW server ready for use.

    NOTE:This check box remains deselected for all ADC and non-name mapped installation scenarios.

  4. Select the partitions that you want to map to the domain. When you select a partition, validation checks are performed on the partition before mapping it to the domain.

    IMPORTANT:If the replica is not local, you cannot select the partition. To map a partition to the domain, you must first ensure that the replica is present on the local server and then click Refresh to reload the tree view. You can then select the partitions from the tree view.

  5. Click Next to continue with the DSfW provisioning process.
