Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX Version 6.10 Installation Guide (5900-1416, March 2011)

1. If an existing OpenLDAP installation is detected, the existing configuration information is used.
2. If no prior installation exists, but the LDAP Module for System Authentication has been installed
and configured on this system, default values are taken from /etc/ldapcd.conf.
3. If neither of the above are true, then the default searchbase is set to o=<hostname>, where
hostname is the name of the local system. The root dn is set to root. The rootpw is set to
the password specified at the beginning of the installation (if it is 8 characters long), otherwise,
it is set to diradmin. It is strongly recommended as a security precaution that you do not use
the default password of diradmin.
Note:
You should not use the system's root password for the Root DN password.
Configuring the LDAP Module for System Authentication
If you choose to install the LDAP Module for System Authentication, you must provide the following
information to permit the installation procedure to initially configure the module:
• Directory Server — Host name of the directory server that the LDAP authentication module is
to use. If you choose to install an Internet Express Directory Server subset, the default is the
host name of the local system. If you are using a directory server other than one installed on
the local system, specify the name of the host on which the directory server is running in this
field.
• Search Base — Top level of the branch in the LDAP database that will contain the user
authentication information. If you choose to install an Open Sourcre Internet Solutions-supplied
directory server, and supplied a searchbase for that server, that value is displayed in this field.
• Root Distinguished Name — Used with the Root DN Password to bind to the LDAP directory
server. If installing with the OpenLDAP directory server, the default is root.
• Root DN Password — Used with the Root Distinguished Name to bind to the LDAP directory
server. The default value for the password is derived as follows:
1. If Netscape is not detected, but the OpenLDAP server is being or was previously installed,
uses the OpenLDAP rootpw.
2. If neither server was detected, uses the password specified at the beginning of the
installation (if it is 8 characters long), otherwise, it is set to diradmin. It is strongly
recommended as a security precaution that you do not use the default password of
diradmin.
Completing Subset Installation
When you click on Continue, the installation procedure displays information about each component
as the installation of the component software progresses. Scan this information for warning or error
messages. You can cut and paste the information to save it in a file for future reference.
The installation procedure checks the validity of the configuration information you supplied and
tries to connect to the LDAP server you specified. If the connection is successful, and the required
schema attributes are found, the LDAP Module for System Authentication is enabled. If the connection
fails, or if the required schema attributes are not found, the Module for System Authentication is
enabled, but may not work correctly. The procedure used to verify the LDAP schema depends on
the following cirteria:
• You have a properly configured, running LDAP server.
• The LDAP server uses the LDAP V3 protocol, although the Module for System Authentication
will work properly with LDAP V2 protocol servers.
After correcting the problems, you must use the Administration utility after the installation is complete
to enable it.
