Chapter 124
Installing and Configuring LDAP Client
Administration Tools
This section provides basic instructions for installing the LDAP Client
Administration Tools. For complete installation and configuration
instructions, see NIS/LDAP Gateway Administrator’s Guide.
Preparing for Installation
Verify you have at least 36 megabytes of free disk space under /opt.
Installing the LDAP Client Administration Tools
Use the SD-UX facility for installation. See the swinstall(1M) man page
for details.
Step 1. Log in to your system as root.
Step 2. Run swinstall and install the NisLdapClient product. This installs the
product software in /opt/ldapux and /etc/opt/ldapux. No reboot is
required.
Configuration Quick Start
This product does not require any specific configuration. However, once
you have installed the product, read the file
/opt/ldapux/bin/README-ADMIN for instructions on how to simplify
LDAP directory administration from your LDAP-UX or NIS/LDAP
Gateway clients.
You may also wish to create a front-end script to the ldappasswd
command, to hide the LDAP directory from the average HP-UX user.
Below are two examples you can cut and paste into a passwd shell script
and then modify for your environment:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
/opt/ldapux/bin/ldappasswd -b "your_base_DN" -h "ldap_server_host_name" \
-p "ldap_port"
#!/usr/bin/ksh
/opt/ldapux/bin/ldappasswd -b "ou=people,o=hp.com" -h "dirserver.lab.hp.com" \
-p 389
