Configuring the LDAP-UX Client Services
You need to configure the LDAP-UX Client Services if it is not already
configured. This section describes major steps to configure LDAP-UX
Client Services with the Netscape Directory Server 6.02 or later version.
For detailed information on how to configure the LDAP-UX Client
Services, see the “Configure the LDAP-UX Client Services” section of
LDAP-UX Client Services B.03.20 Administrator’s Guide at
http://www.docs.hp.com.
You must run the setup program to configure the LDAP-UX Client
Services. This requirement must not be skipped. Otherwise, the HP
CIFS Server with LDAP support will not work properly.
When you run the setup program to configure the LDAP-UX Client
Services on a client system, setup does the following major tasks for
you:
Extends your Netscape directory schema with posixAccount
objectclass and attributes, if not already done.
Creates a configuration profile entry in your Netscape Directory from
information you provide. The profile contains the information
required by clients to access user and group data in the directory, for
example:
Your directory server host
Your directory server network port
Location of your user, group and other information in the
directory
Updates the startup file of the local client with your directory and
configuration profile location.
Downloads the configuration profile from the directory to the LDAP
client system.
Assigns your base DN as your LDAP suffix for user and group
searches.
Starts the product daemon, ldapclientd, if you choose to start it.
For LDAP-UX Client B.03.20, you must start the client daemon for
LDAP-UX functions to work.
