dear all, I'm(an entrant) not sure I got the hang of setup-ds-admin.pl my understanding is: every box/machine hosting idm_console-manageable Directory Server instance need an Administration Server installed on this/the same box, this Administration Sever can manage many Directory Server instances being installed on this same box, right? if I'm right of above, what am I doing wrong while setup-ds-admin.pl is having second run to set up SERV_2 for which, from first setup-ds-admin - SERV_1 would be Configuration Directory Server simple set-up, right, I let installation know about ldap:// to SERV_1, etc.. then it asks of Administration Server port - standard 9830, right next I run idm console there is only newly created SERV_2 and SERV_1 - gone? p.s it's f10, do you have problems creating new instances directly from idm console too? a little light someone can shed on it for me? cheers lejeczek
