OpenDJ installation is very simple through the command line. Here I am going to sharing OpendJ installation in windows. Installation in Linux and Windows both are very similar way so that I will mention wherever changes required for linux.

Before going to install OpenAM, you need to install OpenDJ, because OpenAM configuration details will be stored in OpenDJ.

Before install OpenDJ, we need to download it from official ForgeRock Website.

[DESKTOP-6C1MG7S] is my system name so here you will see your system name so just press ENTER without entering anything

Step 6: LDAP Server Client Port Setup

On which port would you like the Directory Server to accept connections from LDAP clients? [389]:

389 is the default post so you can use the same port so just press the ENTER

Here Base DN given as dc=narayanatutorial,dc=com

So here you can give your choice

Step 10: Populate Database

Options for populating the database:

    1)  Leave the database empty
    2)  Only create the base entry

    3)  Use an existing certificate located on a JCEKS key store
    4)  Use an existing certificate located on a PKCS#12 key store

Enter choice [1]: 1

Press 1 to generate self-signed certificate

Step 17:  Enable Windows  Service

Enable the server to run as a Windows Service? (yes / no) [no]: no

If yes, then opendj configured in windows service so whenever system reboot automatically opendj will be started.

If no, whenever you want work with opendj then you need to start opendj manually. I will show you in the next article how to start and stop opendj.

So I choosed option no

Step 18:  Setup Complete

no) [yes]:

Just press Enter to  start the opendj after completion of installation.

 

After completion of installation and below summary will be displayed.
