Verifying the Proxy User
Chapter 4120
Verifying the Proxy User
The proxy user information is stored encrypted in the file
/etc/opt/ldapux/pcred. You can check if the proxy user can authenticate to
the directory by running /opt/ldapux/config/ldap_proxy_config -v as
follows:
cd /opt/ldapux/config
./ldap_proxy_config -v
File Credentials verified - valid
Creating a New Proxy User
If you need to create a new proxy user and change your client systems to
use the new proxy user, use the following steps:
Step 1. Add the new proxy user to your directory with appropriate access
controls. See the steps “Create a proxy user” and “Set access permissions
for the proxy user” under the procedure “Configure Your Directory” on
page 21 for details.
Step 2. Configure each client to use the new proxy user by running
/opt/ldapux/config/ldap_proxy_config. See “The ldap_proxy_config Tool”
on page 146 for details. See below for examples.
Step 3. Run /opt/ldapux/config/ldap_proxy_config -p to display the proxy user you
just configured and confirm that it is correct.
Step 4. Run /opt/ldapux/config/ldap_proxy_config -v to verify the proxy user is
working.
Example
For example, the following command configures the local client to use a
proxy user DN of uid=proxy,ou=people,o=hp.com with a password of
