LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.00 Administrator's Guide
NOTE: For more information about the configuration files created or modified by autosetup,
see “Samples of LDAP-UX configuration files created or modified by autosetup” (page 359).
You can display details about the LDAP-UX Client Services configuration by using the
/opt/ldapux/config/display_profile_cache command. For more information about
the use of this command, see Section 7.2.4 (page 215).
2.3.8.2 Automating Existing LDAP-UX Domain Installation mode
For this mode of installation, you can run autosetup in silent mode as well as provide pre-set
values for parameters in the command line or with environment variables. You must pre-establish
trust with the remote directory server by installing the CA certificate prior to running autosetup
(for more information, see Section 2.3.2.3.3 (page 35)). To perform this installation without user
interaction, you need to specify the same command-line options or environment variables as
required by the automated Existing Directory Server Installation:
The bind DN (the DN of the directory server user who can add the local host to the directory
server's LDAP-UX domain): use either the -D option or the LDAP_BINDDN variable.
The password used with the bind DN: use either -j option or the LDAP_BINDCRED variable.
The host name of the directory server being joined: use either -h option or the LDAP_HOSTPORT
variable.
In the following example, these parameters are specified in the command line:
# ./autosetup -h acct1053 -D "uid=domadmin,ou=people,dc=calif,dc=acme,dc=com" -j /tmp/jfile -q

2.3.8.3 Post-installation steps for Existing LDAP-UX Domain Installation mode
After completing an Existing LDAP-UX Domain mode guided installation, perform these steps:
• If you installed LDAP-UX into an existing LDAP-UX B.04.xx environment, or into an
LDAP-UX B.05.xx environment that was configured by the customized installation (setup),
or in any LDAP-UX B.05.xx environment that was modified since being created, ensure that
the user/group and host management tools can identify the proper locations in the directory
server tree for creating new users, groups, and hosts. The tools expect the LDAP-UX
configuration profile to indicate the correct location for the host entries. For more information
about assuring the management tools properly interface with the configuration profile, see
Section 7.3.5.6 (page 242) and Section 5.6.1 (page 174).
• Perform the post-installation configuration tasks documented in Section 2.5 (page 89), as
needed.
2.4 Customized installation (setup)
The customized installation requires that you be familiar with the LDAP-UX and directory server
environment. This section describes how to perform this installation, tailoring the installation
and configuration to the specific needs of your organization and environment.
