LDAP-UX Client Services Object Classes
Profile Attributes
Appendix B 189
authenticationMethod is how the client binds to the directory. The
value can be “simple” indicating bind using a user
name and password. If this attribute has no value,
“simple” is the default.
bindTimeLimit is how long, in seconds, the client should wait to bind
before aborting. 0 (zero) means no time limit. If this
attribute has no value, the default is no time limit.
credentialLevel is the identity clients use when binding to the
directory. The value must be one of the following:
“proxy”, “anonymous”, or “proxy anonymous”. “proxy”
means use the configured proxy user. “anonymous”
means use anonymous access. “proxy anonymous”
means use the configured proxy user and if that fails,
bind anonymously. If this attribute has no value,
“anonymous” is the default.
defaultSearchBase is the base DN where clients can find name service
information, for example ou=hpusers,o=hp.com. This
attribute must have a value.
defaultServerList is the same as preferredServerList except the order
in which the specified hosts is tried can be interpreted,
and defaultServerList is used only after
preferredServerList. If neither defaultServerList nor
preferredServerList specifies a host, the client tries the
host where the profile is. See preferredServerList
below.
followReferrals specifies whether or not referrals should be followed.
If the entry is 0 (zero) or FALSE, referrals will not be
followed. If the attribute has no value, any other
numeric value, or TRUE referrals will be followed.
preferredServerList is a list of one or more host IP addresses and
optional port numbers where LDAP directory servers
are running. Each host is searched in the order given.
If this attribute has no value, or if none of the specified
servers satisfies the client’s request, the
defaultServerList is used. See defaultServerList above.
For example, 15.13.128.145:250 is the host at IP
address 15.13.128.145 using port number 250. When
specifying multiple hosts, each host:port entry must be
separated by a space.
