Populate the CA Directory Database to Create a DIT

You can choose to populate the CA Directory database with entities to create a Directory Informational Tree (DIT). A DIT enables you to browse the organizational hierarchy from the top down.

Follow these steps:

1. On the server hosting the CA Directory router, create a file named input.ldif and enter the following entities, for example:

   dn: dc=com
   objectClass: domain
   objectClass: top
   dc: com
   
   dn: dc=company,dc=com
   objectClass: domain
   objectClass: top
   dc: company
   
   dn: dc=demo
   objectClass: domain
   objectClass: top
   dc: demo
   

2. Save and close the file.
3. Open a Command Prompt window and run the following command:

   dxloaddb cadirhost-adrouter input.ldif
   

4. Run the following command to start up the CA Directory router:

   dxserver start cadirhost-adrouter
   

   Note: Replace cadirhost with the CA Directory host name.

You have populated the CA Directory database with entities to create a DIT.
