IMPORTANT If you attempt to use this new feature, in the ldapclientd.conf

ﬁle, the start conﬁguration parameter of the printer services

section must be set to “yes”. If the start option is enabled, the

printer conﬁgurator will start when ldapclientd is initialized. By

default, the start parameter is enabled.

• Do you want to import the publickey schema into your LDAP

directory if you choose to store and manage publickeys in the LDAP

directory.

LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.00 supports discovery and

management of publickeys in an LDAP directory. Both public and

private (secret) keys, used by the SecureRPC API can be stored in

user and host entries in an LDAP directory server, using the

nisKeyObject objectclass.

• Do you want to import the automount schema into your LDAP

directory server if you choose to store and manage automount maps

in the LDAP directory?

LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.00 supports the automount service

under the AutoFS subsystem. This new feature allows you to store or

retrieve automount maps in/from an LDAP directory. LDAP-UX

Client Services supports the new automount schema based on

RFC2307-bis. The nisObject automount schema can also be used if

conﬁgured via attribute mappings.

The setup program will import the new automount schema into your

Netscape Directory Server. An obsolete automount schema is shipped

with the Netscape Directory Server version 6.x. You must manually

delete the obsolete automount schema before the setup program can

successfully import the new automount schema into the LDAP

directory.

For the detailed information about AutoFS with LDAP support, see

“AutoFS Support” on page 55.

• What name services will you use? How will you set up

/etc/nsswitch.conf? What order do you want NSS to try services?

NSS is the Name Service Switch, providing naming services for user

names, group names, and other information. You can conﬁgure NSS

to use ﬁles, ldap, or NIS in any order and with different parameters.
