Displaying the Proxy User's Distinguished Name
You can display the proxy user's distinguished name (DN) by running
/opt/ldapux/config/ldap_proxy_config -p.
The following command displays the current proxy user:
cd /opt/ldapux/config
./ldap_proxy_config -p
PROXY DN: CN=Proxy User, CN=Users, DC=cup, DC=hp, DC=com
Verifying the Proxy User
The proxy user information is stored encrypted in the file /etc/opt/ldapux/pcred and in
kernel memory, referred to as SCS (Secure Credential Store). To determine if these are
synchronized and check if the proxy user can authenticate to the directory, run
/opt/ldapux/config/ldap_proxy_config -vas follows:
cd /opt/ldapux/config
./ldap_proxy_config -v
File Credentials verified - valid
Creating a New Proxy User
Use the following steps to create a new proxy user and change your client systems to use the
new proxy user.
1. Add the new proxy user to your directory with appropriate access controls.
2. Configure each client to use the new proxy user by running
/opt/ldapux/config/ldap_proxy_config. Refer to the “Example” (page 141) below.
3. Run /opt/ldapux/config/ldap_proxy_config -p to display the proxy user you just
configured and confirm that it is correct.
4. Run /opt/ldapux/config/ldap_proxy_config -vto verify the proxy user is working.
Example
For example, the following command configures the local client to use a proxy user DN of
CN=Proxy User, CN=Users, DC=cup, DC=hp, DC=com with a password of abcd1234:
cd /opt/ldapux/config
./ldap_proxy_config -i
CN=Proxy User, CN=Users, DC=cup, DC=hp, DC=com
abcd1234
The following command displays the current proxy user:
./ldap_proxy_config -p
PROXY DN: CN=Proxy User, CN=Users, DC=cup, DC=hp, DC=com
Displaying the Current Profile
You can display the profile in use by any client by running
/opt/ldapux/config/display_profile_cache on that client. The current profile is in
the binary file/etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.bin.
cd /opt/ldapux/config
./display_profile_cache
