LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.10 Administrator's Guide (edition 7)

Client Management Tools
This section describes the following programs for managing client systems. Most of these are
called by the setup program when you configure a system.
display_profile_cache Displays the currently active profile.
create_profile_entry Creates a new profile in the directory.
get_profile_entry Downloads a profile from the directory to LDIF, and creates
the profile cache.
ldap_proxy_config Configures a proxy user.
The following tools are called by the setup program and are not typically used separately.
create_profile_schema Extends the schema in the directory for profiles.
create_profile_cache Creates a new active profile from an LDIF profile. This is also
called by get_profile_entry.
The create_profile_entry Tool
This tool, found in /opt/ldapux/config, creates a new profile entry in an LDAP directory from
information you provide interactively. The directory schema must have the DUAConfigProfile
extensions.
Syntax
create_profile_entry
The create_profile_cache Tool
This tool, found in /opt/ldapux/config, creates a binary profile file from an LDIF profile file, thus
activating the profile for the client. (You can download a profile to LDIF from the directory with
get_profile_entry.) Typically you run the setup program instead of running this program directly.
See also Download the Profile Periodically (page 69).
Syntax
create_profile_cache [-i infile] [-o outfile]
where infileis the LDIF file containing a profile, by default /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.ldif
and outfileis the name of the binary output file, by default /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.bin.
The LDIF file must contain an entry for the object class DUAConfigProfile.
Examples
The following command creates the binary profile file /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.bin from
the existing LDIF file /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.ldif:
create_profile_cache
The following command creates the binary profile file my_profile.bin from the existing LDIF file
profile1.ldif:
create_profile_cache -i profile1.ldif -o my_profile.bin
Note that you must copy the file my_profile.bin to
/etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.bin to activate the profile.
The create_profile_schema Tool
This tool, found in /opt/ldapux/config, extends the schema of a Netscape Directory Server 6.x
with the DUAConfigProfile object class using the information you provide interactively. Typically
you run the setup program instead of running this program directly.
