Importing Name Service Data into Your Directory
Chapter 232
Importing Name Service Data into Your
Directory
The next step is to import your user, group, and other services data into
your Active Directory.
When planning to import your data, consider the following:
• If you have already imported data into your Active directory with the
SFU 2.0 Server for NIS migration tool, LDAP-UX Client Services can
use that data and you can skip to “Configuring LDAP-UX Client
Services” on page 34.
• If you are using NIS, the LDAP-UX migration scripts take your NIS
maps and generate LDIF files. These scripts can then import the
LDIF files into your directory, creating new entries in the directory.
If you are not using NIS, the LDAP-UX migration scripts can take
your user, group, and other data from files, generate LDIF, and
import the LDIF into your directory to work with SFU version 2.0.
• If you integrate the name service data into your directory, the
migration scripts may be helpful depending on where you put the
data in your directory. You could use them just to generate LDIF, edit
the LDIF, then import the LDIF into your directory. For example, you
could manually add the msSFUAccount attributes to your existing
entries under CN=Users and add their HP-UX information there.
CAUTION LDAP-UX Client Services provides default attribute and search
descriptor settings to work with Microsoft Windows Services for
UNIX 3.0/3.5 (SFU 3.0/3.5) when working with the Windows 2000 or
2003 Acitve Directory. If you use SFU 2.0, you can manually re-link
the attribute configuration file to SFU 2.0 before running migration.
Use this command to switch to SFU 2.0:
ln -fs
/etc/opt/ldapux/defualt_profile_attr_ads_sfu2.ldif\
/etc/opt/ldapux/default_profile_attr_ads.ldif
LDAP_UX Client Services will also use SFU 2.0 in the absence of the
softlink /etc/opt/ldapux/default_profile_attr_ads.ldif.
