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 6.11/6.21 or Red Hat
Directory Server 7.0/7.1. 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 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 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.
Quick Configuration
You can quickly configure the LDAP-UX Client Services by selecting the default value for most of the
configuration parameters as follows:
1. To be consistent with the Samba organizational unit defaults, you must edit the
/opt/ldapux/migrate/migrate_common.ph file to change the default group objectclass under
$RFC2307BI structure from ou=Group to ou=Groups.
2. Log in as root and run the setup program:
$ cd /opt/ldapux/config
$ ./setup
The setup program asks you a series of questions and usually provides default answers. Press the Enter
key to accept the default, or change the value and press Enter. At any point during setup, press Control+b
to back up or Control+c to exit the setup program.
3. Choose Netscape/Red Hat Directory as your LDAP directory server (option 1).
4. Enter either the host name or IP address of the directory server where your profile exists, or where
you want to create a new profile.
5. Enter the port number of the previously specified directory server that you want to store the profile.
The default port number is 389.
Setup checks the directory to see if the schema has been extended with the posixAccount objectclass
and attributes. This must be done, but only needs to be done once.
6. If the schema has already been extended, setup skips this step. Otherwise, to extend the schema,
enter the Distinguished Name (DN) and password of the directory user who can extend the directory
schema. For example, you can enter "Directory Manager " as the directory manager DN and
password of the directory manager.
To extend the schema, you are prompted for the following input:
