Command Options
Refer to the ldapclientdman 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 one was already running.
Message: Cache daemon is not running (or running but not ready).
Meaning: This message can mean several things:
• Attempted to use the control option features of ldapclientd when no ldapclientd
daemon process was running, to control.
• Attempted to start or control ldapclientdwithout superuser privilege.
• The ldapclientd daemon process is too busy with other requests to respond at this time.
Try again later.
Message: Problem reading configuration file.
Meaning: The/etc/opt/ldapux/ldapclientd.conf file is missing or has a syntax error.
If the problem is with its syntax, the error message will be accompanied by a line showing exactly
where it could not recognize the syntax, or where it found a setting which is out of range.
CAUTION: Whenever the system is rebooted, ldapclientdlaunches if [StartOnBoot] has
the parameter enabled=yes in the file /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapclientd.conf (the
ldapclientdconfiguration file). Downloading profiles takes time, depending on the server's
response time and the number of profiles listed in the LDAP-UX startup
file,/etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_client.conf.
The ldapclientd.conf Configuration File
The file ldapclientd.confis the configuration file for/opt/ldapux/bin/ldapclientd,
the LDAP client daemon. Refer to the previous section for more information about the daemon.
Missing Settings
ldapclientd uses the default values for any settings which are not specified in the
configuration file.
