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
