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

installation. In some cases, you can run the script in silent mode, which requires no user interaction
during the installation.
To run the script interactively, simply enter the autosetup command as is. The script prompts
you for the minimal information required. To reduce user interaction during the installation,
you can pass parameters by specifying options in the command line. In addition to these options,
you can define environment variables with pre-defined parameter settings; ultimately, this
enables you to run the installation without any manual intervention required. This section
describes the command-line options and environment variables.
The syntax for the autosetup command line is:
autosetup [option1 option1-value [option2 option2-value] ...]
The options are described in Section 2.3.5.1 (page 39).
For detailed information about how to perform the guided installation and how autosetup
configures the LDAP-UX environment, see the following sections:
“Guided installation steps: New Directory Server Installation mode” (page 44)
“Guided installation steps: Existing Directory Server Installation mode” (page 50)
“Guided installation steps: Existing LDAP-UX Domain Installation mode” (page 53)
NOTE: When configuring and setting up LDAP-UX, you will likely be prompted for credentials
of an administrator. If you are asked to enter the credentials (password) of a user, make sure
that the connection between your client and the HP-UX system (where you are running
autosetup) is secured and not subject to network eavesdropping. One option to protect such
communication may be to use the ssh protocol when connecting to the HP-UX host being
configured.
2.3.5.1 autosetup options
The following options can be specified on the command line.
-C computer_acct_container
Valid only for LDAP-UX installations with Windows Server
ADS, this is the computer account container. It is ignored
if specified with an LDAP-UX installation for a directory
server environment.
-D privileged_user_DN
When creating a new directory server, or setting up a new
LDAP-UX environment with an existing directory server,
this typically specifies the Directory Manager's
distinguished name (DN) (for the latter scenario, it can be
at minimum any user who has sufficient privileges to
update the schema on the directory server). When
configuring LDAP-UX in an existing LDAP-UX domain,
this can be the DN of any member of the DomainAdmins
or HostAdmins groups — host administrators that have
privileges to add hosts to the domain (but more limited
privileges than the Directory Manager) or any user given
sufficient privileges by the directory server administrator.
This is the bind DN that LDAP-UX clients use for accessing
the HP-UX Directory Server. The default is cn=Directory
Manager when creating a new LDAP-UX domain, and
uid=domadmin,ou=people,domainBaseDN when
joining an existing one. An example of a setting for this
variable is
uid=domadmin,ou=people,dc=document,dc=hp,dc=com.
