Technical data

LDAP_path = ou=organizational unit,o=organization
• name-services – Describes the name services the print system uses
and the order in which they are used. In this example, local file, NIS,
and LDAP are used. Lookups for print objects are done in the local file
(/etc/printers.conf), in the printers.conf.byname NIS map, and
then in the LDAP directory server.
• LDAP_hosts – Lists up to three hosts on which the LDAP directory
services are running. Multiple hosts are listed when they are providing
replication services. When you list multiple hosts, they must be
separated by colons (:). If the LDAP server is on a system running
TruCluster Version 5.0 or later software, you can use the cluster alias as
the host name.
The standard LDAP services port number is 389. However, LDAP
services can be provided on a nonstandard port number. You specify the
LDAP port number by appending the port number to the host name
within parenthesis, as in the following example:
LDAP_hosts = myhost.xyz.com(8182)
• LDAP_path lists a directory search path. To access an LDAP-based
database, you must supply a distinguished name path. Printing clients
and servers use this path to create and search for entries in the directory.
With Netscape Directory Server, you start by naming your organization,
and then you create organizational units under the organization. The
distinguished name path to specify for Advanced Printing includes the
organization and organizational unit in distinguished name syntax.
For example, if your top-level organization is named XYZ Corp, and
you define an organizational unit AdvPrint, the distinguished name
path would be:
ou=AdvPrint,o=XYZ Corp
You can specify up to three entries in the LDAP_path expression.
Separate multiple entries with a colon (:) character. For example, if
in XYZ Corp, you create a secondary organizational unit called Test
Environment, your LDAP_path should be specified as follows:
ou=AdvPrint,o=XYZ Corp:ou=Test Environment,o=XYZ Corp
When accessing entries listed in the LDAP_path expression, a search
continues through the entries until a matching entry is found. When
creating or deleting entries, only the first path entry is used; the second
and third entries listed in the LDAP_path expression are read only.
