Introduction
CIFS Server A.01.11 and later offer the ability to store and access CIFS Server user
information in an LDAP directory store; specifically the Netscape Directory Server
product shipped with HP-UX 11.0 and later. This paper will describe, step by step, the
procedure to set up a simple Netscape DS server on HP-UX, the LDAP-UX client needed
to access posix account information that the CIFS Server user accounts in the LDAP
directory depend on, and configuring CIFS Server and the perl scripts shipped with it to
access and manage your CIFS Server user account information.
