Understanding the ldapux_client.conf
Configuration File
When you set up LDAP-UX, the /etc/opt/ldapux_client.conf file is
automatically created to specify where the directory is located, the profile
data path, and the logging configuration. In previous releases, typically,
this file has the following contents:
Service: NSS
LDAP_HOSTPORT="192.1.2.3:389"
PROFILE_ENTRY_DN="cn=caprofile,
CN=Configuration,DC=ab,DC=ny,DC=com"
PROGRAM="/opt/ldapux/config/create_profile_cache"
With ADS multiple domain support, this file has been modified to
contain more information. A new keyword, PROFILE_ID, has been
introduced to specify the role of each configuration section. PROFILE_ID
has three possible values:
•“local”—specifies the information for the local domain.
Service: NSS
PROFILE_ID="local"
LDAP_HOSTPORT="serverA.ca.com:389"
PROFILE_ENTRY_DN="cn=caprofile,
CN=Configuration,DC=ca,DC=com"
PROGRAM="/opt/ldapux/config/create_profile_cache"
•“la.ca.com”—specifies the information for the remote domain.
PROFILE_ID="la.ca.com"
LDAP_HOSTPORT="serverB.la.ca.com:389"
PROFILE_ENTRY_DN="cn=ldapuxprofile,cn=configuration,dc=l
a,dc=ca,dc=com"
PROGRAM="/opt/ldapux/config/create_profile_cache -i
/etc/opt/ldapux/domain_profiles/ldapux_profile.ldif.la.c
a.com -o
/etc/opt/ldapux/domain_profiles/ldapux_profile.bin.la.ca
.com"
•“gc”—specifies the information for GCS.
PROFILE_ID="gc"
LDAP_HOSTPORT="serverA.ca.com:389"
PROFILE_ENTRY_DN="cn=globalprofile,CN=Configuration,DC=l
