LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.00 Administrator's Guide

2.5.7 Configuring subsequent client systems
Once you have configured your directory and one client system, you can configure subsequent
client systems using the following steps. If you used autosetup to create your LDAP-UX
domain, you should continue to use autosetup to configure subsequent clients, since it
provisions the HP-UX host information in the directory server. To do this, you can run autosetup
in silent mode, as described in Section 2.3.8.2 (page 56).
1. Use swinstall to install LDAP-UX Client Services on the client system. This does not
require rebooting the client system.
Alternatively, use the guided installaton (autosetup), for a simpler, automated process.
If you use autosetup, you can skip to the last step to verify the installation and configuration
on the client.
2. If you used the guided installation (autosetup) for a simpler, automated procedure, you
can skip to the last step to verify the installation and configuration on the client. Otherwise,
copy the following files from a configured client to the client being configured:
• /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_client.conf
• /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.ldif
• /etc/opt/ldapux/pcred only if you have configured a proxy user, not if you are
using only anonymous access
• /etc/pam.conf
• /etc/nsswitch.conf
• /etc/opt/ldapux/acred if the /etc/opt/ldapux/acred file exists
• cert8.bd and key3.db files, if SSL is enabled
Set all file access mode permission to be the same as those of the first client being configured.
3. Enable the LDAP-UX configuration profile as follows:
cd /opt/ldapux/config
./create_profile_cache
Alternatively you could interactively run the setup program to download the profile from
the directory and respond "no" when asked if you want to change the current configuration:
cd /opt/ldapux/config
./setup
4. If you are using a proxy user, configure and verify the proxy user by calling
ldap_proxy_config as follows:
cd /opt/ldapux/config
./ldap_proxy_config -v
5. Verify the LDAP-UX Client Services installation and configuration on the client, as described
in Section 2.5.2 (page 92).
