LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.15 Administrator's Guide

5.1.2.5 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 occuring before ldapclientd

forks into a daemon process leaves 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:

1. Attempted to use the control option features of ldapclientd when no ldapclientd

daemon process was running, to control.

2. Attempted to start, or control, ldapclientd without superuser's privilege.

3. 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.

5.1.2.6 Warnings

Whenever the system is rebooted, ldapclientd launches if [StartOnBoot] has the parameter

enabled=yes in the file /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapclientd.conf (the ldapclientd configuation 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.

5.1.3 ldapclientd.conf

The file ldapclientd.conf is the configuration file for /opt/ldapux/bin/ldapclientd, the LDAP Client

Daemon. Refer to the previous section for more information about the Client Daemon.

5.1.3.1 Missing settings

ldapclientd uses the default values for any settings which are not specified in the configuration

file.
