HP CIFS Server Administrator Guide Version A.03.01.03 (5900-2006, October 2011)

Configuring your Directory Server
You need to configure the Netscape/Red Hat Directory Server if it is not already configured. For
detailed information on how to configure your Directory Server, refer to the following documentation:
• Netscape Directory Server Installation Guide
• Netscape Directory Server Configuration, Command and File Reference
• Red Hat Directory Server Installation Guide
• Red Hat Directory Server Configuration, Command and File Reference
The above documents are available at the following web site:
http://docs.hp.com/en/internet.html
Verifying the Directory Server
Run the following command to verify that you have installed and configured the Directory Server
properly, and verify if Directory Server daemons are up and running:
$ ps -ef | grep ns-
The output of this command is as follows:
root 17289 17288 0 18:54:34 ? 0:00 ns-httpd -d /var/opt/netscape/servers/admin-serv/config
www 17230 1 0 18:53:54 ? 0:03 ./ns-slapd -D/var/opt/netscape/servers/slapd-hpcif57 -i /var/o
Installing LDAP-UX Client Services on an HP CIFS Server
For this version of HP CIFS Server, you must install the LDAP-UX Client Services version B.03.20
or later version. The LDAP-UX Client Services software is available at http://www.software.hp.com.
Use swinstall(1M) to install the LDAP-UX Client Services software, the NativeLdapClient subproduct,
on an HP CIFS Server. See the LDAP-UX Client Services B.03.20 Release Notes and LDAP-UX Client
Services Administrators Guide for more details on the installation procedures. You do not need to
reboot your system after installing the product.
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.
