LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.00 with Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 Active Directory Administrator's Guide

Administering LDAP-UX Client Services
Using the LDAP-UX Client Daemon
Chapter 476
Controlling the Client
Use the following syntax to control the client:
/opt/ldapux/bin/ldapclientd [-d <level>]
[-o<stdout|syslog|file[=size]>] >
/opt/ldapux/bin/ldapclientd [-D <cache>]|-E <cache>|-S
[cache]>
/opt/ldapux/bin/ldapclientd <-f| -k| -L| -h| -r>
Daemon Performance
Performance (client response time) is improved by the following
techniques:
• Caching entries to reduce the LDAP-UX client response time while
retrieving the following:
— passwd
— group
— netgroup
— X.500 group membership
Since pwgrd caches some categories, lpdapclientd does not cache
these areas, therefore pwgrd is still needed to maintain high
performance in areas like hosts, protocols, and rpc.
• Reusing and maintaining connections to the directory server. The
reduction in bindings and disconnections significantly reduces the
load on server and network traffic.
Command Options
Refer to the ldapclientd man page(s) for option information.
Diagnostics
By default, errors are logged into syslog if the system log is enabled in
the LDAP-UX client startup configuration file
/etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_client.conf. Errors occurring before
ldapclientd forks into a daemon process leave an error message
directly on the screen.
The following diagnostic messages may be issued:
Message: Already running.
Meaning: An attempt was made to start an LDAP client daemon when
