LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.00 with Microsoft Windows Active Directory Server Administrator's Guide (obsolete beyond B.05.00)

2 Installing LDAP-UX Client Services
This chapter describes the decisions you need to make and the steps to install and configure
LDAP-UX Client Services.
2.1 Before you begin: general installation and configuration considerations
This section lists some things to keep in mind as you plan your installation:
• You can choose either of two methods for installing and configuring LDAP-UX Client Services
on your HP-UX system:
◦ Guided installation — a simple, quick, and automated procedure that sets up a basic
installation of the software, which you can customize afterward as needed
◦ Customized installation — a screen-based procedure that allows you to customize the
software
The benefits of each type of installation are described in more detail in Section 2.2 (page 14).
• For a customized installation, use the configuration worksheet in Appendix A (page 145) to
record your decisions and other information needed for configuration.
• For the latest information, see the LDAP-UX Client Services Release Notes , available at:
http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-security-docs (Click HP-UX LDAP-UX Integration Software)
• For advice on how to set up and configure your directory to work with HP-UX, see the white
paper Preparing Your Directory for HP-UX Integration, available at:
http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-security-docs (Click HP-UX LDAP-UX Integration Software)
NOTE: This white paper was published before support for Windows ADS was introduced.
However, much of the information continues to be relevant and helpful.
• For details on how to integrate LDAP-UX Client Services with HP-UX based LDAP directories,
see the LDAP-UX Client Services Administrator's Guide at:
http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-security-docs (Click HP-UX LDAP-UX Integration Software)
• The examples use a base distinguished name (DN) of DC=cup, DC=hp, DC=com for
illustrative purposes.
NOTE: LDAP-UX using Windows 2003 R2/2008 Active Directory Server does not support
netgroup and publickey service data.
2.2 Choosing the method of installation: guided or customized
LDAP-UX Client Services releases prior to B.05.00 only provided one installation option, the
customized installation using the setup program, which is a traditional screen-based program
that requires several procedures to be executed. This option allows an experienced administrator
to customize the software. LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.00 introduces the guided installation using
the autosetup program, which greatly simplifies the installation and configuration process. This
is a simple, quick, and automated procedure that gets you started with a basic implementation of
the software, requiring little input other than identifying administrator-level entities. These entities
automatically perform privileged configuration tasks for you, including configuration of Kerberos
and creation of a host principle used for proxied authentication. You can customize the software
afterward. Both of these programs are available in /opt/ldapux/config.
