Changing from Anonymous Access to Proxy Access
Chapter 4 123
Changing from Anonymous Access to Proxy
Access
If you have anonymous access and you want to change to using a proxy
user, do the following:
Step 1. Create the proxy user in the directory. With Netscape Directory Server,
you can use the Netscape Console.
Step 2. Change the credentialLevel attribute in your profile to be “proxy” using
your directory administration tools, for example the Netscape Console.
If you want proxy access with anonymous access as a backup if proxy
access fails, change credentialLevel to be “proxy anonymous”.
Step 3. Download the profile to the client. If you have an automated process to
download the profile, you can wait until it executes. Or you can download
the profile manually by running the following command:
cd /opt/ldapux/config
./get_profile_entry -s nss
You can verify that the proxy user is configured with
display_profile_cache and ldap_proxy_config. display_profile_cache
displays the current configuration profile, including the credential level,
which is either “proxy,” “anonymous,” or “proxy anonymous.”
ldap_proxy_config displays and verifies the proxy user the client is
configured to use. See “The display_profile_cache Tool” on page 144, “The
ldap_proxy_config Tool” on page 146, and “The get_profile_entry Tool” on
page 145 for more information.
