LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.01 Administrator Guide for HP directory servers and Windows ADS

NOTE: The default search base DN for all requests will be set to the previously specified
default search base DN (specified in step 14), usually the domain root. For very large
databases, search performance can be greatly increased by specifying custom search
descriptors. For example, to search user and group information, set the search base DN for
the user and group services to CN=Users, DC=cup, DC=hp, DC=com.
NOTE: If your search filters overlap, enumeration requests will result in duplicate entries
being returned. For example, if one search filter searched a subset of your organization and
a second search filter searched your entire organization, an enumeration request would return
duplicate entries. For information about enumeration requests and their impact on performance,
see Section 7.12.1.1 (page 247).
To begin the process to create custom search descriptors, the setup program prompts you
for the following information:
LDAP-UX Client Services supports the following services:
1.Password 7.Networks
2.Shadow passwd 8.Hosts
3.Group 9.Services
4.PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module)10.Printers
5.RPC 11.Automount
6 Protocols
You can create up to three custom search descriptors for each name
service to search different locations in the directory.
Do you want to create custom search descriptors? [No]:
Enter yes if you want to create custom search descriptors for any of the supported services.
Then enter the number of the service for which you want to create a custom search descriptor.
If, you do not want to create custom search descriptors, enter no to this prompt to continue
to step 25 of the setup process.
Creating the custom search filter for LDAP printer configurator service
LDAP-UX Client Services uses the printlpd search filter for the printer service as default. The
default object class, printerlpr, is not defined in the Windows Active Directory Server. To
use the LDAP printer configurator feature, you must execute the following procedures to change
default printerlpr object class for the printer service to the alternate object class to search
a different location in the directory. As an example, the following procedures are used to
change the default object class, printerlpr, to the alternate object class, printQueue:
a. Type yes for the following question and press Enter:
Do you want to create custom search descriptors? [No]: yes Enter
b. If you want to select the printer service, then enter 10 for the following question and press
Enter:
Specify the service you want to map? [0]: 10 Enter
c. Next, a screen displays the following information:
To accept the default shown in brackets, press the Return key.
search base [dc=cup,dc=hp,dc=com]:
search scope (base, one, sub) [sub]
Search filter [(objectclass=printerlpr)]
If you want to create the alternate search filter printQueue for the printer service, enter
(objectclass=printQueue) for the following prompt and press Enter; otherwise
press Enter to accept the default search filter, objectclass=printerlpr:
Search filter [(objectclass=printerlpr)]: Enter (objectclass=printQueue)
