Sun Directory Server 7 - Installation Review

I'm losing my job soon as a Consultant providing Professional Service for Sun Directory Server Implementation.

The Sun Directory Server 7 Installation has become so easy that my customers can do it themselves. :)

Below is the step-by-step instruction for non-root install of Sun Directory Server 7 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4:

Platform: Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4

JDK: 1.6.18 32-bit (Note: 64-bit JDK does not work with Glassfish!!)

Application Server: GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 2.1.1

As ROOT user:

[root@localhost /]# ./jdk-6u18-linux-i586-rpm.bin

Java(TM) SE Development Kit 6 successfully installed into /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_18.

As AZLABS user:

[azlabs@localhost ~]$ gunzip DSEE.7.0.Linux-X86-64-zip.tar.gz

[azlabs@localhost ~]$ tar -xvf DSEE.7.0.Linux-X86-64-zip.tar

[azlabs@localhost ~]$ cd DSEE_ZIP_Distribution/

[azlabs@localhost DSEE_ZIP_Distribution]$ unzip sun-dsee7.zip -d /home/azlabs

[azlabs@localhost]$ cd /home/azlabs/dsee7/bin

[azlabs@localhost bin]$ ./dsccsetup war-file-create

[azlabs@localhost ~]$ cp /home/azlabs/dsee7/var/dscc7.war /home/azlabs/gf/domains/domain1/autodeploy/

We're done!

• Directory Server binary installed;
• DSCC registry initialized;
• Cacao Agent registered;
• Directory Server instance created;
• DSCC deployed on Glassfish application server

Yes, so simple. No joke.
