Retrieving Data from a Remote Domain

Chapter 3 63

Choosing Remote Domain Conﬁguration or GCS

In order to limit the scope of the LDAP-UX remote domain search to

certain domains of the forest, conﬁgure those speciﬁc domains using the

remote domain conﬁguration. This is the only way to exclude some

domains from the LDAP-UX remote domain search. For example, if your

forest contains DomainA, DomainB, DomainC, and DomainD, but you

just want users in DomainA and DomainB to log into HP-UX, conﬁgure

either DomainA or DomainB as your local domain, then another domain

as the remote domain during setup, and choose not to use the GCS.

If you want to cover the entire forest in the LDAP-UX remote domain

search scope, you can either explicitly conﬁgure every domain (one as

“local,” and the rest as "remote"), or conﬁgure the local domain and the

GCS to support multiple domains. When you choose to conﬁgure usage of

both remote domain and GCS support, LDAP-UX searches remote

domains, then queries the GCS.

For detailed steps on how to conﬁgure multiple domains using the setup

tool, refer to the "Conﬁguring the LDAP-UX Client Services" section in

Chapter 2.
