How to start 389 Directory Server at boot

Question

How do I configure 389 Directory Server to start automatically during boot? I am using Fedora 18 and 389 DS version 1.3.0.2, build 2013.017.28. There does not seem to be any recent documentation on this on the 389 DS website. chkconfig doesn't do the trick.

Additionally, what is the recommended way to control the 389 DS processes? So far I've discovered:

1) systemctl [start,restart,stop] dirsrv.target controls the directory server.
2) [start,restart,stop]-ds-admin controls the admin server.
3) 389-console loads the admin console.

Are these the best ways to control 389?

To start 389 Directory server at boot, you need to use the systemctl command.

This will allow you to start all instances you have in the system,

  systemctl enable dirsrv.target

In order to run a specific instance, use

  systemctl enable dirsrv@instname.service

For more details, please read the documentation here.

How about starting the admin server at boot also? – Dylan Klomparens Feb 26 '13 at 16:04
Additionally, Is there a way to guarantee that 389 starts before my Samba processes start? – Dylan Klomparens Feb 26 '13 at 16:11
