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.
