Installing And Conﬁguring LDAP-UX Client Services

Conﬁgure the LDAP-UX Client Services

Chapter 2 29

After you conﬁgure your directory and the ﬁrst client system, conﬁguring

additional client systems is simpler. Refer to “Conﬁgure Subsequent

Client Systems” on page 72 for more information.

Quick Conﬁguration

You can quickly conﬁgure a Netscape directory and the ﬁrst client by

letting most of the conﬁguration parameters take default values as

follows. For a custom conﬁguration, see “Custom Conﬁguration” on

page 34.

The steps described below assume that you don’t use SSL support with

LDAP-UX. If you want to enable SSL support, see “Custom

Conﬁguration” on page 34.

Step 1. Log in as root and run the Setup program:

cd /opt/ldapux/config

./setup

The Setup program asks you a series of questions and usually provides

default answers. Press the Enter key to accept the default, or change the

value and press Enter. At any point during setup, enter Control-b to back

up or Control-c to exit setup.

Step 2. Choose Netscape Directory as your LDAP directory server (option 1).

Step 3. Enter either the host name or IP address of the directory server where

your proﬁle exists, or where you want to create a new proﬁle from

Appendix A, “Conﬁguration Worksheet,” on page 183.

Step 4. Enter the port number of the previously speciﬁed directory server that

you want to store the proﬁle from Appendix A, “Conﬁguration

Worksheet,” on page 183. The default port number is 389.

Step 5. If the proﬁle schema has already been imported, setup skips this step.

Otherwise, enter “yes” to extend the proﬁle schema if the schema has not

been imported with LDAP-UX Client Services object class

DUAConfigProfile. See Appendix B, “LDAP-UX Client Services Object

Classes,” on page 187 for a detailed description of this object class.

Step 6. If the LDAP printer schema has already been extended, setup skips this

steps. Otherwise, enter “yes” to extend the LP printer schema if you

choose to start the printer conﬁgurator. The LDAP printer conﬁgurator is

a feature that simpliﬁes the LP printer management by refreshing LP
