LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.10 with Microsoft Windows Active Directory Server Administrator's Guide

Client Management Tools
This section describes the following programs for managing client systems. Most of these programs
are called by the setup program during system configuration.
• create_profile_entry—creates a new profile in the directory.
• create_profile_cache—creates a new active profile from an LDIF profile. This is also
called by the get_profile_entry tool.
• create_profile_schema—extends the schema in the directory for profiles.
• display_profile_cache—displays the currently active profile.
• get_profile_entry—downloads a profile from the directory to LDIF, and creates the
profile cache.
• ldap_proxy_config—configures a proxy user.
create_profile_entry
This tool, found in /opt/ldapux/config, creates a new profile entry in the LDAP directory
from information you provide interactively. The directory schema must have the
DUAConfigProfile extension.
Syntax
create_profile_entry
create_profile_cache
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. Also refer to “Downloading the Profile Periodically” (page 55).
Syntax
create_profile_cache [-i infile] [-o outfile]
where infile is the LDIF file containing a profile, by
default/etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.ldif and outfile is 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
