ODSEE commands part 1

This post will list some of the basic and widely used commands in the world of ODSEE.

Assumptions:

Base DN:                         dc=veeru,dc=com

LDAP Instances path:     E:\dsee7\ds7\

My ODSEE has been configured on localhost. you have to replace localhost with the hostname of the server on which your ODSEE is running. use appropriate port numbers too. Below commands will help you as a sample on how they can be used.

Instance Creation/Deletion:

create instance

> E:\dsee7\bin\dsadm create -p 1089 -P 1189 E:\dsee7\ds7\instance1089

where 1089 is non-ssl port, 1189 is ssl port and E:\dsee7\ds7\instance1089 is the instance folder path

delete instance

> E:\dsee7\bin\dsadm delete E:\dsee7\ds7\instance1089

where E:\dsee7\ds7\instance1089 is the instance folder path

Instance start/stop:

start

> dsadm start E:\dsee7\ds7\instance1089

stop

> dsadm stop E:\dsee7\ds7\instance1089

Operations on suffix:

create suffix

> dsconf create-suffix -p 1089 -e dc=veeru,dc=com

Disable/Enable the suffix

> dsconf set-suffix-prop -h host -p port suffix-DN enabled:on

create sub-suffix

> dsconf create-suffix -hlocalhost -P1189 ou=users,dc=veeru,dc=com

add sub-suffix to parent suffix

> dsconf set-suffix-prop -hlocalhost -P1189 ou=users,dc=veeru,dc=com parent-suffix-dn:dc=veeru,dc=com

Register the server instance with DSCC

> dsccreg add-server -h localhost -p 3998 E:\dsee7\ds7\instance1089

Remove the server instance with DSCC

dsccreg remove-server -h localhost -p 3998 E:\dsee7\ds7\instance1089

List the server that are currently registered into DSCC

> dsccreg list-servers -h localhost -p 3998

Starting cacao Operations:

list the instances on cacao

> E:/dsee7/ext/cacao_2/bin/cacaoadm.bat list-instances

enable instance on cacao

> E:/dsee7/ext/cacao_2/bin/cacaoadm.bat enable -i default -f E:/dsee7/ext/cacao_2/bin/password.txt

start cacao

> E:/dsee7/ext/cacao_2/bin/cacaoadm.bat start

start ads

> E:/dsee7/bin/dsadm.exe start E:/dsee7/var/dcc/ads

verify cacao status

> E:/dsee7/bin/dsccsetup.exe status 

Creating OUs:

Below, i am going to create two different OUs. one for contractors and other for employees.

> dsconf create-suffix -hlocalhost -P1189 ou=contractors,ou=users,dc=veeru,dc=com

> dsconf create-suffix -hlocalhost -P1189 ou=employees,ou=users,dc=veeru,dc=com

after creating the OUs, we need to register them with the parent DN as shown below

> dsconf set-suffix-prop -hlocalhost -P1189 ou=contractors,ou=users,dc=veeru,dc=com parent-suffix-dn:ou=users,dc=veeru,dc=com

> dsconf set-suffix-prop -hlocalhost -P1189 ou=employees,ou=users,dc=veeru,dc=com parent-suffix-dn:ou=users,dc=veeru,dc=com

more to come in the following post.

Thanks,
