The server must be stopped before you configure the database.
To configure the directory database:
Depending on whether or not you already have a database, some or all of the following windows are displayed.
The user ID you specify will own the database instance where the DB2(R) database will exist, and the instance will be in the user's home directory.
Note: If you want a different database instance name, you must use the ldapcfg command with the -t option to configure the database. See the IBM(R) Tivoli Directory Server Version 5.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for information.
The user ID can be no longer than 8 characters.
In addition:
There might be some groups that do not work correctly as the user's primary group when configuring the database. For example, if the user's primary group on Linux is users, problems might occur. Use other on Linux if you want to be sure that the primary group will work.
Note: If you want a different database instance name, you must use the ldapcfg command with the -t option to configure the database. See the IBM(R) Tivoli Directory Server Version 5.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for information.
Be sure that you have at least 80 MB of free hard disk space in the location you specify and that additional disk space is available to accommodate growth as new entries are added to the directory.
Note: If you want to use language tags, the database must be a UTF-8 database.
For more information about UTF-8, see the IBM(R) Tivoli Directory Server Version 5.2 Installation and Configuration Guide.
