The following instructions are provided to build the SDK software:

1. Unzip the file ldapjdk41.zip into a directory like:

   # mkdir /usr/local/NetscapeDirectoryJavaSDK
   # cd NetscapeDirectoryJavaSDK
   # unzip ldapjdk41.zip

2. Set the environment variable LDAPSDKHOME to the directory you install the SDK in:

   # LDAPSDKHOME=/usr/local/NetscapeDirectoryJavaSDK
   # export LDAPSDKHOME

3. Next, make sure that the following two JAR files are in your CLASSPATH environment variable:

   # CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$LDAPSDKHOME/packages/ldapjdk.jar:$LDAPSDKHOME/packages/ldapfilt.jar:$LDAPSDKHOME/tools
   # export CLASSPATH

4. Re-read your .profile to accept the new environment variable settings:

   # . .profile

5. Compile all of the command-line tools for the SDK implementation:

   # cd $LDAPSDKHOME/tools
   # javac *.java

6. The following is a list of the directories created in the SDK toolkit:
   • <LDAPSDKHOME>/doc - Contains the entire documentaion set for the SDK in HTML format.

   • <LDAPSDKHOME>/examples - Contains many code examples, including code that calls the SDK from JavaScript and code that uses LDAP JavaBeans.

   • <LDAPSDKHOME>/tools - Contains command-line tools source code that implements the functionality of the platform-native command-line tools included with Netscape Directory Server.

   • <LDAPSDKHOME>/beans - Contains LDAP JavaBean class files.

   • <LDAPSDKHOME>/packages - Contains two JAR files that contain the classes of the SDK. Make sure you also have a Java compiler (javac) in your PATH. The compiler must be version 1.1 or Later (1.2 or later for GUI examples).

7. If you are on the Internet and wish to test the LDAPSearch application, try the following from the tools directory:

   # java LDAPSearch -h memberdir.netscape.com -b "o=netcenter.com" "objectClass=*"
   
     dn: o=netcenter.com
     objectClass: top
     o: netcenter.com
