LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.01 Administrator Guide for HP directory servers and Windows ADS
autosetup [option1 option1-value [option2 option2-value] ...]
The options are described in Section 3.3.2.1 (page 119).
For examples and detailed information about how to perform the guided installation and how
autosetup configures the LDAP-UX environment, see the following sections:
• Section 3.3.3 (page 122)
• Section 3.3.4 (page 124)
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 (a password), make sure that the
connection between your client and the HP-UX system (where you are running autosetup) are
secured and not subject to network eavesdropping. One option to protect such communication
might be to use the ssh protocol when connecting to the HP-UX host being configured.
3.3.2.1 autosetup options
The following options may be specified on the command line when running autosetup to install
or configure LDAP-UX in a Windows ADS environment.
-C computer_acct_container Valid only for LDAP-UX installations with Windows Server
ADS, this is the computer account container (specifying
where the computer account should be created). The default
is CN=computers. This option is ignored if specified with
an LDAP-UX installation for an HP directory server
environment.
-D privileged_user_DN Specifies the distinguished name (DN) of a user who has
sufficient directory server privileges to create a new
computer account. This typically specifies the domain
administrator's distinguished name (DN). When installing
LDAP-UX for the first time in a Windows Domain, it can be
any user who has sufficient privileges to update the schema
on the directory server and add a new computer account
and password to the cn=computers container. When
installing and configuring LDAP-UX to add a host to a
Windows domain that already has been configured with
LDAP-UX, this can be the DN of any user with sufficient
privilege to add a new computer account, and set a
password on that account. An example of a DN for this
variable is
CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=ldaptest,DC=west,DC=com.
-h host_name Specifies the host name (or IP address), and optionally the
port number, of the Windows Active Directory Server where
the local HP-UX host (client) should be added. The default
host name is the fully-qualified DNS domain name of the
server's host; the default port is 389. Specify in one of the
following formats:
host-name
host-name:port
ip-address
ip-address:port
-j password_filename Specifies a file that includes the password for the user
specified with the -D option. Specifying this file enables
autosetup to run without prompting you for the password;
